Did I totally shock you in the last post, Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola, about wanting to buy a house in the near future? Or were you there, kinda like… UM, gurl, it’s about time!!

Note that we were thinking all of this (and this was written) before things changed… anyway.

It’s just, Erik and I are trying to do things. the super financially reasonable way because we’re still kinda working on the, let’s say, different levels of financial responsibility in the homes we grew up in. So we’re taking things nice and slow, and planning for the right time to buy a house. Ya know?

Do you ever feel pressure to move at society’s pace for what and when things “should” happen versus when they actually need to happen for you?

Obviously this has been something that’s been weighing on my mind a lot lately, and I just wanted to put it out there. Phew! It’s out there and it’s done. Lol. Let’s move onto something simpler, like these Simple & Easy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies (GF), or well, did someone say something about oatmeal cups? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Lay a 12-cup silicone baking pan on a medium baking sheet. This is the pan I use—it has narrower cups, which make for thicker oat cups. I highly recommend this pan, as it’s much easier to remove the oat cups. Set aside for later.
  • In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add almond butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until well mixed.
  • Heat in 20-second increments in the microwave until warm and fragrant, and the mixture begins to dry out (about 4-7 rounds). Whisk in between heating increments. *Stovetop instructions in Notes.
  • Add oats to the almond butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold until thoroughly combined.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop balls of cookie dough into the cups of the baking pan. Using a spoon, press and flatten mixture until tops are smooth and dough is evenly distributed in the cup.
  • Chill in the freezer for 15-25 minutes, until firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes

  • Where to Buy Ingredients: Gluten Free Rolled Oats | Natural, Creamy Almond Butter | Pure Maple Syrup
  • Storing Instructions: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 1 month.
  • Freezing Instructions: Store oatmeal cups in a freezer-friendly container for 1-2 months. Allow to thaw at room temperature for 5-15 minutes before enjoying.
  • *Stovetop Instructions: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add almond butter and maple syrup. Whisk until well incorporated. Stir occasionally, heating until this mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and carefully pour over the dry mixture in a heatproof mixing bowl.
  • Recommended Tools: 12-cup Silicone Pan | Baking Sheet | Favorite Snack Bags: Batman Reusable Snack Bags | Compostable Snack Bags | Washable Snack Bags | Glass Mixing Bowls | Prep Bowls

    I just made these with Nuttzo (7 nut & seed butter). I didnโ€™t have almond butter. To be extra I added melted enjoy life chocolate chips to the top after they were chilled. They turned out great! Iโ€™m a fan of salt, so I am thinking I would like to add finishing salt on top of the chocolate next time! Just an idea…

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      “To be extra” – lol!! Love it. Now’s the time to add a lil’ extraness into our days to brighten it up a bit, ya know? ๐Ÿ™‚ The added chocolate and nut/seed butter combo sound incredible. I’ll try these with salt next time! Enjoy.
