Pumpkin Oatmeal Cups #SundaySupper

Sharing is caring!

Being a mom has changed my entire life.   One thing that has changed is that I often have to eat one handed and on the go.   I don’t have time to make a hot breakfast and sit down and eat it so I’ve been looking for easy breakfasts that don’t need to be warmed up.

Since it’s fall I’ve also been looking at delicious fall flavors like pumpkin and apple.   I found a recipe for pumpkin oatmeal cups that had cranberries and chocolate in it.   The oatmeal is good because it’s filling and the cups can be stored and eaten at room temperature so I was sold on them.

When the baby was sleeping I ran into the kitchen and whipped up a batch of these.   It said it made 2 dozen oatmeal cups but I found it more to be along the lines of 18 cups which was just fine.  They were easy to make because everything is placed in a bowl and mixed together then is put into muffin cups.

I will say that these oatmeal cups don’t look pretty.  They are a little bit lumpy and each one looks different.  They are studded with the cranberries, chocolate chips, and flax seeds.   I would grab two every morning with my coffee and they were really filling and tasted good too!

The oatmeal cups have a chewy texture and taste like spices and pumpkin.  The cranberries add a bit of sweetness and flavor while the chocolate chips add a nice richness.  This is the perfect breakfast for those that need to eat on the go or that can’t have a hot breakfast.
