These chai baked oatmeal cups have all the cozy flavors of your favorite drink but in oatmeal form. They’re easy to make, great for meal prep and perfect for on-the-go. Vegan + gluten-free.

Oatmeal is one my favorite things to have for breakfast. I LOVE it, but for busy mornings when I’m running to a workout class or a meeting I need something I can take on the go and oats just aren’t very portable. Eating a bowl of hot oats while driving — risky business. Packing a bowl of hot oats to eat once you arrive to your destination — definitely not a good idea, unless you like cold, gluey oats.

That’s where these baked oatmeal cup come in handy. You can make them ahead of time, reheat and enjoy. They’re super portable and you eat them just like you would a muffin.

I’ve made plenty of baked oatmeal cups before, but this chai version is a little different, in a good way.

If you’re a chai lover, you will go wild for these cups! They smell amazing while they’re baking (kind of like the holidays) and they taste delicious. You’ll love the spice blend of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and cardamom as well as the crunchy pecan topping.

I shared a few of these cups with Maria, but most of them were devoured quickly by me. They’re delightful reheated in the toaster oven with a little almond butter drizzled on top! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
