Cranberry Baked Oatmeal Cups – A Wholesome & Delicious Breakfast
These Cranberry Baked Oatmeal Cups are a convenient and nutritious option for breakfast or a snack. Combining rolled oats, wholemeal spelt flour, and dried cranberries, I have also added some pumpkin and sunflower seeds for added texture and nutrients.
Sweetened naturally with mashed banana and maple syrup, these cups are free from refined sugars. For a gluten-free version, substitute the spelt flour with ground gluten-free oats. Prepare a batch ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to five days, ensuring a quick and wholesome option during busy mornings.
If you prefer a gluten-free option, simply replace the spelt flour with some gluten-free oats that you can ground yourself to flour in a blender. You can also replace the cranberries with raisins.
You can certainly make a batch ahead as these will keep for 5 days in an airtight container.
