Almond Butter Peach Blueberry Oatmeal Cups


My mom was visiting us a few weeks ago and we wanted to make something for our breakfasts and snacks that were portable, delicious, simple and full of summer fruit flavor. Since the combinations of peaches and blueberries has always been a favorite of mine, I thought why not pack them into cute little oatmeal cups with the addition of creamy protein-packed almond butter?! Best breakfast ever!

By the way, I recently introduced baby Sidney to almond butter and he can’t get enough! I swirl it into his oatmeal or put it on bananas and he always gobbles it up. My absolute favorite almond butter lately has been Wild Friends because it’s creamy, perfectly salted and DRIPPY. They just gave me a discount code ‘AMBITIOUS15’ to share for 15% off (just sharing the love with you all!)

Ingredients in peach blueberry oatmeal cups

These easy peach oatmeal cups have super simple ingredients but pack plenty of delicious flavor from juicy peaches and blueberries. They’re dairy free, naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and easily made gluten free. Here’s everything you need:

  • Almond butter: use a natural, creamy almond butter that just has almonds and salt as ingredients. Peanut butter will also work well.
  • Coconut oil: to add a bit of dairy free moisture to these oatmeal cups. You can also sub butter or vegan butter.
  • Eggs: we’re just using 2 eggs to help these oatmeal cups hold together and add a boost of protein. I haven’t tried using flax eggs in this recipe but let me know if you do!
  • Pure maple syrup: you’ll just need a bit of pure maple syrup to naturally sweeten the oatmeal cups. Honey would also work well!
  • Milk: keep these peach blueberry oatmeal cups dairy free using your favorite dairy free milk. I personally like using unsweetened almond milk.
  • Vanilla: for a little additional flavor.
  • Rolled oats: feel free to use gluten free rolled oats to keep them gluten free. Do not use steel cut oats as the texture will be much different.
  • Cinnamon: for a wonderful, cozy spice addition.
  • Baking powder & salt: to help these oatmeal cups bake up properly.
  • Peaches: we’re adding diced peaches inside the oatmeal cups and slices on top for extra peach goodness!
  • Blueberries: fill your oatmeal cups with juicy blueberries along with the diced peaches. YUM.
