These vegan Cranberry Baked Oatmeal Cups make the perfect grab & go breakfast or snack. Why not sneak a few in the kids’ lunchbox?
The mashed banana gives them a soft texture which is perfect with a hot or cold drink.
Packed with pumpkin and sunflower seeds, these are not too sweet and make a nice change from porridge or bars.
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.
