These Make Ahead Savory Baked Oatmeal Cups are perfect for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack!  They’re great if you’re looking for a savory vegan breakfast that you can make ahead!

These Make Ahead Savory Baked Oatmeal Cups are perfect if you're looking for a savory vegan breakfast recipe that's easy to make and great for meal prep! There's six different flavors so you'll never get bored! They're also perfect for an afternoon snack or light lunch! Gluten free too!

I’m not strictly vegan, but I have noticed that there doesn’t seem to be very many easy make ahead savory vegan breakfast options.  I do enjoy sweet breakfasts, but every now and then I need a break.  These Savory Baked Oatmeal Cups are also really great for an afternoon snack and they go great with a salad for lunch.

You guys love my sweet Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal Cups so much (!) that I thought it would be nice to do a savory spin on them.  Baked oatmeal cups are so easy to make, they’re great for a portable breakfast and they freeze well.  I hope you all love these Savory Baked Oatmeal Cups as much as you love the sweet ones 🙂

A Few Things:

  • You can use quinoa flakes instead of oats if you wish.  They do get a little mushy the next day but are fine if re-heated in the oven.  You can substitute 3 1/2 cups, 12 ounce box, for the oats.
  • My favorite oats to use are these certified gluten free old fashioned rolled oats.
  • Most of these recipes make more than 12 oatmeal cups.  For that reason, I love using silicone baking liners instead of a 12 cup muffin tin.  You can bake the entire batch at one time.
  • I love using my 1/4 cup scoop to scoop the oatmeal mixture, it makes them the perfect size!
  • Oatmeal cups stay good in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Some of the different recipes make different amounts of oatmeal cups.  I put in how many oatmeal cups I made with each batch, but you can make them as big or as small as you like.  Different sizes may require different cooking times.
  • Once I have all the ingredients mixed together I like to let the mixture sit in the bowl for about 10 minutes so the oats soak up most of the milk.  This makes for more even cooking.  Sometimes the tops can get a little dry if you don’t do that, but they usually soften up once refrigerated.
  • Substitutions: I have not made these with steel cut oats so I’m not sure if that would work.  I’m guessing you would have to modify the recipe a bit.  You can use any kind of milk you like and you can also use one egg in place of the flax egg.
  • Feel free to add in any extras you like!  I would suggest cheese, roasted red peppers, herbs, spices or extra veggies.
  • Some ideas for topping your savory baked oatmeal cups: avocado, hot sauce, salsa, and melted cheese.

Description

These sweet potato black bean cups have a nice Mexican flavor them!


Ingredients

  • 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free certified if necessary
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax mixed with 2 1/2 tablespoons water, let sit 2–3 minutes)
  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened, non-dairy milk
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup sweet potato puree*
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion or green chiles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.  Grease a muffin tin or line it with parchment or silicone liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats and the rest of the dry ingredients.
  3. Add the milk and flax egg and mix until combined.
  4. Next, mix in the sweet potato, black beans and green onion or green chiles.
  5. Use a 1/4 cup scoop to scoop the oat mixture into the muffin tin.  Bake cups until cooked through and firm, about 20 – 23 minutes.  Let sit in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

*I make my sweet potato puree by peeling and dicing a medium sweet potato, boiling it until fork tender and then pureeing it in the food processor.  I believe you can also buy canned sweet potato puree, or you could use pumpkin if you like.

This recipe makes 12-14, depending on how big you make them. I  usually end up with 13.

  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened, non-dairy milk

    These “muffins” have been a LIFESAVER! My son is such a picky eater it’s driving me nuts. If I through a tablespoon of maple syrup in these he doesn’t look twice at what he’s got to be picky about. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    These all look amazing. I am so glad I found your site, and can’t wait to try out some of your oatmeal muffin and cookie recipes!! I am putting together a shopping list and will have friends over next weekend for a baking party. I am only commenting now for what I noticed in the nutrition information part. I noticed on this page, just these “MAKE AHEAD SAVORY BAKED OATMEAL CUPS” that in the nutritional labels the amount of sodium looks quite a bit off – – on all 6 of them. I recalculated the nutrition for 1 of the recipes based on my ingredients, and all numbers were close except my sodium total was a whole lot less and thought you might like to retry inputting your ingredient list? It appears you used the same program to calculate nutrition for your page, “HEALTHY NATURALLY SWEETENED BREAKFAST COOKIES”, but I don’t initially remark anything out of the ordinary on those.

      Thanks for pointing that out! I use myfitnesspal.com to calculate nutrition and sometimes they come up with odd numbers. I will definitely look into it!

        January 2, 2020 at 8:52 pm

        I agree the sodium looks way off and I believe that might be the total sodium for the recipe not each muffin. If you divide your total sodium by the number of muffins made it is a much more reasonable number. There is just no way that one of the muffins has over 3000mg of sodium. I look forward to giving these a try because I am definitely a savory breakfast kind of person.

    These sound great! I’m looking forward to trying them! I did read in the comments that you can substitute water for milk. Is it the same ratio? I have one child that is allergic to cows milk and one allergic to almond, so I would have to create 2 separate batches of each, with different milk. Thanks for any insight you have!
