Oat-standing Peanut Butter Breakfast Cups

I love oatmeal. And I especially love baked oatmeal. However, with my schedule, I don't have time to wait 20 minutes for it to bake. Fortunately, these oatmeal cups came to my rescue.

I make a big batch at the beginning of the week and store them in the fridge for an easy breakfast on the go. I like to make a few different flavors to keep things interesting as the week progresses. (I usually save chocolate chip for Friday because fri-YAY)

The oatmeal cup recipe is fool-proof. Whether you've never baked or you're basically Martha Stewart, you can make these and will enjoy them. The ingredients can be easily manipulated to produce the amount and flavor you like. You can choose to omit peanut butter (but why would you) or bump up the maple for extra sweetness. You can even add apple butter and slices and make a itty bitty apple pie cups.

Any way you cut it (cup it?) your weekday breakfast routine just got a little less time-consuming - and a lot more fun.
