Frozen Oats Cup

Frozen Oats Cup

Frozen Oats Cups are a quick, healthy breakfast you can prep in advance. These cups are filled with creamy oats, fresh fruit, and crunchy coconut, making them the perfect grab-and-go snack for busy mornings.

  • Total Time: 3 hours (freezing time)
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats: 1 cup – The base of the recipe, providing a hearty and filling texture.
  • Milk (any type): 1 cup – Adds creaminess and binds the oats together. Use almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup – Gives the oats a creamy texture and boosts the protein content.
  • Chia Seeds: 1 tablespoon – Adds a nice crunch and extra fiber.
  • Coconut Flakes: 2 tablespoons – Toasted coconut adds a tropical flavor and some crunch.
  • Frozen Berries: 1/2 cup – Fresh or frozen berries like strawberries or blueberries give a sweet burst of flavor.
  • Honey: 1 tablespoon – Adds a natural sweetness to balance the oats.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: No need to preheat anything, but you’ll want to set up your muffin tin or silicone liners.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and coconut flakes. Stir until everything is well mixed.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease your muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Spoon the oat mixture into each muffin cup. Press down slightly to ensure they are packed together.
  5. Cook to Perfection: There’s no cooking required for these cups. Just place the muffin tin in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 3 hours.
  6. Finishing Touches: Once the oats have frozen solid, you can remove them from the muffin tin or silicone liners.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Take one cup out of the freezer and enjoy it as a grab-and-go breakfast or snack. You can thaw it for a few minutes for a softer texture if you prefer.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, add a spoonful of yogurt to each cup before freezing.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, try drizzling a bit of honey or maple syrup over the oats before freezing.
  • Use fresh fruit that holds up well to freezing, like berries or bananas.
  • Experiment with different add-ins such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or even a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
