Plan ahead for hurried mornings and prep a batch of freezer-friendly breakfast cups—made with Nature Valley granola bars, oats and berries—today.

Updated April 9, 2015

Ingredients

  • 1
    cup crushed Nature Valley™ crunchy granola bars, any flavor (about 3 individual packages)
  • 1 1/2
    cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/3
    cup chopped almonds
  • 1
    teaspoon baking powder
  • 1
    teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1
    cup milk
  • 2
    eggs
  • 1/4
    cup real maple syrup
  • 1
    teaspoon vanilla
  • 1
    cup fresh or frozen mixed berries

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, mix crushed granola bars, oats, almonds, baking powder and cinnamon. In another medium bowl, beat milk, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla with whisk. Add to oat mixture, and stir to combine.
  • 3
    Fill muffin cups three-fourths full; top with berries.
  • 4
    Bake about 25 minutes or until set. Cool slightly before eating.
  • 5
    If desired, freeze any extras on a sheet pan until solid. Once frozen, seal in freezer bag, and store in freezer. Reheat in microwave in 30-second to 1-minute increments until warmed through.

  • Most berries will work for this recipe, except strawberries may make the cups too watery.
  • The reheated oatmeal cups are great with a little smear of butter.
