Baked Oatmeal Cups
These delicious Chocolate Banana Oatmeal cups are one of my favorite easy breakfast recipes! They are loaded with healthy nutrients and keep you full from the protein all morning long. Plus, they reheat great and are even freezer friendly. I love warming them up on busy weekday mornings for my kids, because I know they are going to go out the door with a full stomach and ready for school!
I also love making them when I need to get my eating back on track after the holidays!
I’m officially on Easter detox today. It’s kind of like Christmas detox. My house and my stomach! You guyssssss so much candy and food consumed over the weekend! It started on Friday with our traditional egg dying party at my aunt’s house. All of us cousins are invited over with our children and we dye eggs, hunt for Easter eggs and then have a pizza party! It’s so much fun! I look forward to it every year.
We are a large clan and the entire neighborhood is flooded with cars! Every year it seems to grow a little and we just got news that our cousin, who currently lives in California, is moving back this summer with his family so it will be even bigger next year!
Oatmeal Cups
Saturday was pretty low key around here. We hung out and I made muffins for church plus ran and got the last minute Easter basket fixings. Talk about leaving it to the end! I was sweating that one because there’s not a lot of choices when it comes to shopping around here!
The kiddos headed out to Grandpa and Grandma’s house to see the cows and calves with Dad in the morning so Mom got groceries and shopped alone. Alone. Welllll not alone alone. I still had Koert, but hey I’ll take it! So much easier! Actually Miss K just got to the age where it’s kind of fun to shop with her for the most part and run errands. She always has a smart remark to share with me so more often than not I’m doubled over in stitches. Way better than being alone on my errands most of the time!
The hubs made dinner on Saturday which is always a win in my book! I got him a smoker for his birthday present and he is all excited about making everything possible on it. I’m embracing it! Now, women, I got him something that technically causes him more work. Was that like him buying me a vacuum cleaner for my birthday?!

Sunday was Easter baskets, egg hunting followed by church then off to the hub’s side for Easter dinner. I was in charge of the dinner rolls. In fact they told me to bring a “package” of dinner rolls so I didn’t even feel tempted to make homemade ones! Ahhhhh, they must know I can hardly keep it together right now! I’m totally fine with this. In fact I said SWEET and got that package of dinner rolls that’s for sure!

It’s the season of life right now with three littles. I figured my time will come to pick up the slack and let someone else bring the package of dinner rolls in a few years right?
After that dinner I need a detox that’s for sure. Ham, potatoes, corn, bread, salads, desserts and everything in between! These Chocolate Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups are the perfect wholesome treat for the week ahead. I love that I can bake them on Sunday and keep them in the fridge for a quick snack or breakfast. They are also good in the freezer for a month but mine never get there! We eat them to fast!

My husband has type 2 Diabetes, so I had to change up the recipe some. I omited the faxseed, water, coconut oil and brown sugar. I used instead skim milk, 1 Tbsp Truvia, 1/2 tsp molasses, regular Milk Chocolate Chips. The nutrition per serving is: 101 calories, 3 g fat, 16 carbs, 2.5 protein.
