    These Oatmeal muffins will start your day off the right way! They are perfect snack or treat for toddlers and kids or an easy grab and go breakfast option!

    Baked Oatmeal Cups

    With kids going back to school, mornings once again can get hectic. As a teacher, I know from experience that it takes a solid month to get back into the swing of things and re-establish a good routine. 

    Trying to prepare a nutritious, yet quick and simple, breakfast while getting those kiddies (or yourself!) ready for the day can be a challenge. Why not make your mornings easier with these yummy oatmeal muffins?! Your kids will love them, you will love them, and you'll have one less thing to stress about! 

    quick grab and go breakfast that's also nutritious

    These Oatmeal Muffins are made using Quaker Instant Oatmeal. The mixture takes 5 minutes to whip up and then 20 minutes to bake. This recipe yields 9 servings but you could easily double it. I suggest making a batch on Sunday so that you can grab and go the rest of the week.

    Get breakfast under wraps with these quick and nutritious oatmeal muffins

    My favorite thing about these is that you can switch up the toppings for each member of the family. I personally prefer them with bananas and cinnamon, my husband likes nuts baked in and strawberries on top and my infant son adores them with some blueberries. 

    Kids will love these Oatmeal Muffins for breakfast! They are gluten and refined sugar free

    Oh, and did I mention there's no refined sugar or butter in these? That's always a bonus in my books and makes them a "better-for-you" option than a lot of other quick breakfasts out there.

    Oatmeal muffins are a great grab and go breakfast idea!

    As you can probably tell, I baked my toppings in but you could always add them afterwards if you'd prefer. I also removed the cupcake liners about an hour after I removed them from the oven but you could leave them on - one less thing to have to do, right!?
