Strawberry Oatmeal Cups
Snack attack time!
These strawberry oatmeal cups are a twist on the old school strawberries and cream oatmeal. Portioned into bite size cups, these are made with juicy strawberries and a little cream, some honey and cinnamon, applesauce and vanilla.
They taste like a little bite of heaven!
I have rambled about this many many times over the years, but as a kid, strawberries and cream instant oatmeal was my thing. I LOVED it, along with peaches and cream oatmeal. It was a total comfort food for me. It’s still such a nostalgic breakfast!
Occasionally I’ll buy a box and it just tastes so darn good.
I’ve made a version of these oatmeal cups with peaches and cream before, so it was only a matter of time until I made a strawberry version.
Strawberries and peaches are probably my top two fruits. I adore them. So, I really enjoy them in oatmeal or yogurt bowls. Love them mixed together too.
Plus, they are just SO easy.
Mix everything in a big bowl, press into a muffin tin and bake. Super simple and perfect for making when you have about an hour of time to meal prep.
I love to make these ahead of time to have for breakfast. Served warm or cold, they are delicious! What I love even more though? Having them on hand for snacks.
These make the BEST snacks for busy weekdays. They are filling and satisfying. I love that they are a balanced little snack with some sweetness.
Sometimes I will crumble them into yogurt. Sometimes I grab them straight from the fridge. Other times I will spread the top with peanut butter.
They are versatile and easy. Nothing better than batch cooking!
