Ingredients in gingerbread oatmeal cups

These gingerbread oatmeal cups are such a festive breakfast idea and a great way to get into the holiday spirit! They also come together with mostly pantry staples for the seasonings. Here's everything you need to make them:

  • almond or coconut milk
  • molasses
  • maple syrup
  • eggs
  • rolled oats
  • ginger
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg

How to make gingerbread oatmeal cups

While the ingredient list is simple, so are the instructions! Here's how to make gingerbread oatmeal cups:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together wet ingredients. In another bowl, mix together dry ingredients.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix together well. Line 12 muffin tins with muffin cup liners and divide mixture among them, making sure to get an even ratio of oats and liquid in each cup.
  4. Bake in the oven for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before enjoying.

Ingredient substitutions

While the ginger and molasses are really what bring out the “gingerbread” flavour of these oatmeal cups and I highly recommend you use them, there are some substitutions that can be made to this recipe. Here are some notes:

Spices – Cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg are the spices used in these oatmeal cups. You can leave out the nutmeg and add 1/2 tsp more ginger instead. You do need the cinnamon to sweeten the oatmeal cups and the ginger to bring out the gingerbread flavour. Make sure to use dried ginger powder and not fresh gingerroot.

Milk – I recommend a non-dairy milk like almond, coconut, cashew or soy milk to make these oatmeal cups lower in calories, but you can use regular dairy milk too!

Molasses – This is again one of the key flavours of these oatmeal cups, but if you don't have any on hand, you can sub in 2 tbsp maple syrup.

Storing for meal prep

These oatmeal cups are just PERFECT for meal prep! Let them cool to room temperature, then place two in a meal prep container and refrigerate up to 7 days. You can enjoy cold, or reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes to make them nice and warm. Add some nut butter or maple syrup on top for an indulgent breakfast!

Freezing oatmeal cups

You can freeze these cooked oatmeal cups too! Bring them to room temperature, then freeze in a freezer bag or in glass containers. You can defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes before serving. They will taste very similar to the fresh leftovers.

What to serve with oatmeal cups

I recommend that you serve these oatmeal cups with some fresh like fresh sliced bananas or fresh berries. You can also serve with some nut butter or Greek yogurt for a bit of extra protein.
