Notes

Variations

Add some other spices. Some cinnamon or allspice give a homey flavor! Try apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice too.

Stir in some chopped nuts. Pecans or walnuts would give some crunch. Just a ¼ cup will do it! Nuts are calorie dense so monitor the amount used if tracking calories or macros.

Dark chocolate chips. Add some mini dark chocolate chips for a hint of chocolate. They are a great flavor pairing with blueberries.

How to Store

Cover oatmeal cups or place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Warm slightly in the microwave before serving for best flavor.
