Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups [V]

This apple cinnamon oatmeal cups are great for a fast fall breakfast!

I love this amazing oatmeal cups recipe from Dinner at the Zoo. I made them the FIRST DAY she posted them and we have loved having them for breakfast in our house. Ever since then we have been experimenting with good mix-ins! And now that fall is in full swing, I figured that apple cinnamon ones are perfect for this season, so I adapted it and added a little sugary goodness on top.

These oatmeal cups are great hot or cold (I prefer hot), and you can even give them a hit of maple syrup or honey to really finish it off. We keep them in a gallon zipper bag in the fridge and grab and go! I don’t have a whole lot to say about these, because you can see most of what Dinner at the Zoo has to say about the recipe in general and I’d love for you to give her love. I am also just pretty proud of this round of photos, so I’m going to let them speak for themselves.

Local Spotlight: Eggs, as per usual!

Make these oatmeal cups ASAP.
