Tips

  • Most berries will work for this recipe, except strawberries, which may make the oat cups too watery.
  • Store the oat cups in a resealable box for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds to refresh, if needed.
  • These oat cups can be frozen and then reheated in the microwave.
