Strawberry Baked Oatmeal Cups

These Strawberry Baked Oatmeal Cups are perfect for busy mornings! A healthy grab-and-go breakfast or snack filled with oats, strawberries, and chia seeds.

Grab-and-go breakfast snacks like these baked oatmeal cups or my Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping are perfect for me because I’m not a big morning person. I like to hit the snooze button a bit too often and when I’m finally awake I need something quick to eat before starting to work.

These delicious strawberry baked oatmeal cups are refined sugar free and gluten-free if you use gluten-free oats like the ones from Bob’s Redmill. And did I mention that they’re super easy to make?

You just need a few minutes to whip up a batch of these healthy baked oat cups which will last you a few days! They also make a great filling and hearty afternoon snack between meals. 

These little oatmeal cups have a special ingredient which makes all the difference: Freeze dried strawberries!

You can get freeze dried strawberries at Amazon and most supermarkets. Make sure to buy those without added sugar, they are sweet enough. Freeze dried strawberries make a great healthy snack and taste so good mixed with granola but they’re also perfect for baking.

They don’t contain any water so they won’t make your baked goods mushy and they’re super flavorful. Perfect for making buttercreams like in my Naked Strawberry Layer Cake! They’re also a great choice during fall and winter when you can’t get those juicy and flavorful local berries.

Baking with them is so easy! To make these Strawberry Baked Oatmeal Cups you just add them to the dry ingredients, no need to chop them before, then mix the wet and the dry ingredients together. Bake 20 minutes and you have a delicious, healthy breakfast!

One batch lasts us two to three days. They can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days and are freezable (just leave them on the counter overnight to defrost).
