Real talk...
I love oatmeal. Like, I have an unusual love of oatmeal. I love baked oatmeal, cooked oatmeal, and yes, even uncooked oatmeal too. Also, I sometimes eat oatmeal straight out of the jar.
Does anybody else do that last one, or is it just me?!
How These Oatmeal Cups Stack Up To My Other Ones
Anyways, I've done a couple of Baked Oatmeal recipes already - like chocolate chip, and peanut butter banana - but these chocolate banana ones might be my favorite. Honestly, that might be because I've kind of been obsessed with chocolate lately, and these are definitely not short on that.
Meal Prepping These Oatmeal Cups
These baked oatmeal cups are also an easy on the go snack idea! I can grab one for some pre/post workout carbs, and Alyssa can take them to work as part of her lunch. Plus, they freeze well, so you can easily save them for meal prep throughout the week too.
Healthier Than A Muffin
Like I mentioned before, these baked oatmeal cups have no flour, no butter, and no oil in them. These oatmeal cups use a perfect combination of peanut butter, bananas, old-fashioned oats, and protein powder to hold them together. Those main ingredients also give these muffins a great balance of fast and slow digesting carbohydrates, protein, and fats to give you sustained energy throughout the day.
Anyways, if you're looking a for a healthy on the go breakfast idea, give these oatmeal cups a shot.
