Are you looking for a quick, healthy and filling breakfast on the go? Then look no further: Blueberry Walnut Baked Oatmeal Cups are just the right breakfast (or even snack)!

Baked Oatmeal Cups: Nutritious Breakfast On The Go

Baked oatmeal cups are the perfect breakfast food because they have a combination of all macronutrients: complex carbohydrates from the oats, protein from eggs and milk, and healthy fats from flaxseed and walnuts. They are also a great source of fiber. The fiber in oats is called beta glucan and has been shown to help reduce cholesterol levels and improve blood sugars. Flaxseed and walnuts provide omega-3 essential fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation.

Why Make Baked Oatmeal Cups?

Here is why you should make these baked oatmeal cups:

  • they are made ahead of time so you don’t need to worry about breakfast for the week
  • they are portable
  • they are filling so you’re not hungry within an hour
  • they contain a balance of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats
  • they store well in the fridge for up to a week
  • they can be frozen (make two batches and freeze!)
  • they can be tailored to your preferences
