Healthy Oatmeal Cup Snacks

I made these yummy and healthy oatmeal cup snacks with my 3 year old the other day and she absolutely loved them. I was delighted because she normally asks me to bake cakes and these are super healthy. They are a perfect snack without sugar and packed full of nutrients. They were really quick and easy to prep and they are perfect for baking with kids.

I had some oatmeal and bananas and decided to mix in some dates to substitute the sugar.

The healthy oatmeal cup snacks are ideal for a healthy mid morning snack or to give the kids for school. read more
