You need just 1 bowl and some simple, wholesome ingredients to make these healthy-ish chocolate chip baked oatmeal cups. They’re ready in about 30 minutes, keep well in the refrigerator, and make a wonderful on-the-go breakfast, snack, or healthier dessert. The whole family, kids included, love them.
But most importantly: adult approved because they’re quick… and have chocolate chips. And kid approved because they’re delicious… and have chocolate chips. A harmonious win for us all.
The little bit of sweetness from our chocolate chips makes them one of my favorite healthy dessert recipes and gluten free dessert recipes. A wholesome breakfast/dessert hybrid you can feel good about!
If you’re interested in another gluten free muffin option, I always love these blueberry almond muffins.
These chocolate chip oatmeal cups require just 1 mixing bowl. No need to break out your mixer, just grab a whisk and a spatula. Whisk all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) together, and then fold in the chocolate chips. It’s that easy.

It’s supposed to be very liquidy. Spoon into greased muffin cups. The recipe conveniently makes 12 in a standard muffin pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes. EASY!

I usually prep today’s oatmeal cups or these breakfast cookies in the beginning of the week, then refrigerate them for quick breakfasts and snacks. You can eat them cold straight from the refrigerator, or reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds. They freeze and thaw beautifully, too!
