Personalized Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Cups: Gluten Free & Diabetic Friendly
Diabetic Friendly, Gluten Free Personalized Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Cups
Pumpkin baked oatmeal baked in portion perfect sizes with your own personal topping! Doesn’t get much better!! Perfect for a healthy on the go breakfast or snack and way better than grabbing a store bought oatmeal or granola bar full of preservatives.
If you are a follower of my blog then you know this isn’t the first recipe I’ve made personalized for a family with different tastes. Way back in February, I posted my Personal Sized Baked Oatmeal with Individual Toppings. That recipe has been very popular on Pinterest and many variations have come from it which I linked below for your convenience. This is the first though with an adaption eliminating the applesauce in the original recipe and completely replacing it with pumpkin. It is just as moist as any other baked oatmeal with a gentle pumpkin flavor. In fact if your children don’t like pumpkin and you eliminate the pumpkin spice in the recipe they probably wouldn’t notice the pumpkin in there anyway. Let then pick their toppings and they will eat it I tell you!
Let them cool a bit before removing form the cupcake liners. Silicone liners seem to work the best for me rather than paper, but once refrigerated overnight they don’t seem to stick to the liners as much. 🙂
Feel free to add your favorite toppings. You can also insert the topping choice into the batter as well. If you don’t have stevia you can use honey, about 1/2 cup will only make this slightly sweet but with a topping like chocolate chips that’s all you really need.
