My breakfast game has been going strong lately, and I’m proud of it!

It’s especially important to me because I often skip out on breakfast. Unless you count coffee and the occasional container of yogurt a good start to the day. And don’t get me wrong…coffee is much needed everyday, but by mid-mornings, my stomach is screaming at me for more than just liquid caffeine.

So I turned to one of my favorite go-to breakfasts lately…baked oatmeal cups! If you remember these Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups from October, you know that it makes the most deliciously cozy breakfast for just about any day. The hearty oats, sweet spices, and fruit fill you up and keep you going all morning long.

And that’s just what I need!

Tips for Making Strawberry Baked Oatmeal Cups 

  • You could make a batch of these on the weekend and then pop them into the fridge for an easy, grab-n-go breakfast during the week. Or, freezing them works well, too. You pick!
  • I prefer making the banana and strawberry baked oatmeal cups in a silicone muffin tin. It makes removing the oatmeal cups so much easier! 
  • You can likely use frozen berries for this recipe, but you’d need to thaw and drain them before adding them to the batter.
  • I sometimes add collagen peptides to my oatmeal cups. You only need 2 to 3 scoops for this recipe!
