Welp, I just found a new breakfast idea that I can cling to for months! These baked oatmeal cups are freakin’ awesome. I made them in jumbo sized silicone baking cups so they are nice and big to fill you up in the morning. They’re almost like a jumbo muffin with a nice golden brown, crusty top and moist, airy interior. So good!
These are yummy enough to make it on a dessert plate too. Just throw down some coconut ice cream and chow down. BTW, does anyone else love the way that blueberries look when they’re baked in a batter of some kind? Purpley blue-ish ribbons of yumminess.
I bought these jumbo silicone baking cups on Amazon and they are PERFECT for these oatmeal cups! And yeah, I wrote on the container already. Because even though I measured how much liquid fits in them, I will inevitably forget. Anyways…I lined them all up on a half sheet baking sheet and scooped them in using a 4 oz ice cream scoop. And again, it was PERFECT 😉
If you’re really into almonds, toss some extras in the batter before you bake. I personally don’t like nuts baked into my baked goods, so I was really happy with some nice golden slivered almonds on top of the oatmeal cups with the subtle taste of almond extract inside the cups.
