Moist and delicious Lemon Baked Oatmeal Cups with no added sugar make the perfect healthy breakfast on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.
So is it totally bizarre that I never really make baked oatmeal in a pan but am currently head over heels obsessed with these little cuppies?!
They're essentially baked oatmeal in perfect, portioned, portable form. It's not like it's that hard to use a spatula and cut a square from a pan, but there's something truly magical about the good old muffin tin.
When my blogging boos and I decided to make citrus the theme for January's round-up, I immediately turned to lemon. I messed around with the proportions in the cooler older cousin version of this recipe (Banana Zucchini Baked Oatmeal Cups) since winter isn't zucchini's best friend, thus opening up a whole new world of portable oaty greatness.
By the way, I'm all googly eyes for these silicone baking cups. They make clean-up a total breeze! 
Hellooooo most perfect breakfast how are youuuuUUuuUUUU!
