Hello! Happy Thursday (or whatever day you may be reading this)!
This yummy recipe is a filling, sweet treat that’s perfect for breakfast or as a snack!
These easy and tender oatmeal cups are made from simple ingredients with a rolled oats base (no flour), combined together with mashed bananas (no eggs), and loaded with chocolate chips and blueberries (so good together).
They are delicious fresh out of the oven. Melted, gooey chocolate, bursting fresh blueberries, and soft, chewy oats are perfect to serve on a lazy morning or for brunch.
I suggest serving them with a side of yogurt. I like the tangy flavour of plain Greek yogurt to contrast the sweet flavours of the oatmeal cups.
They are awesome cooled down and great to eat as a mid-day snack! Easy to eat by hand or to make a day ahead of time. They heat up well in the microwave or oven too.
I hope you enjoy this recipe for Blueberry Chocolate Oatmeal Cups!
