Healthy Baked Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cups are one of my favorite ways to snack throughout the day for a quick energy, satisfying treat when, I’m not reaching for cookies and brownies. 

I think of it as having pretty much everything a granola bar has in it, except this has milk and egg added to it and it’s baked in a muffin tin like baked oatmeal.

These oatmeal cups of course are wonderful for breakfast too!  Obviously!

Made with rolled oats, fresh strawberries, bananas, chocolate chips, cinnamon, a little brown sugar and some walnuts for some crunch and nutty flavor.

This baked oatmeal is so, so versatile!!! 

You can make it even healthier!  Substitute honey, aguave or maple syrup instead of brown sugar or leave it out all together, but I like it sweeter, so I have to have some sweetness. 

I used Silk unsweetened almond milk, which is very low in calories, 30 calories per cup, but you can use any kind of milk.

They have a creamy, custardy texture after they’re baked.  I like eating them at room temperature, refrigerated and warmed up in the microwave.  It tastes like a really awesome dessert, and it’s healthy!  Gotta sneak it in! 

To get the most out of the flavors, just microwave for 30 – 45 seconds and the chocolate chips melt and OMG..those flavors of the strawberry and banana pop!!  You can even top it with some milk or whipped cream too.  

When we were growing up, we always had milk served with our oatmeal.  These days, I don’t have milk with it. How do you eat yours?  Cold oatmeal or hot oatmeal?  Milk or not? 

Any way you eat it, you can prepare this recipe the night before cooking.  Just bake in the morning. Place bananas on the bottom of the dish so the bananas don’t brown.  Anytime you make it, it’s easy to prepare.
