Tips
Storage: Bring these oatmeal chocolate chip breakfast cups to room temperature, then store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
Freezing: These oatmeal cups freeze well too. Just place cooled cups in a freezer bag and remove as much air as possible. Freeze for up to 6 months. To reheat, microwave the frozen cups for 30-60 seconds, or until warm.
Make it vegan. Instead of using regular milk, replace it with a non-dairy one. My favorites to use in this recipe are either cashew milk, coconut milk or oat milk. You could use unsweetened almond milk or soy milk, but it will taste a little less rich. Make sure that you use dairy free chocolate chips. To replace the eggs, you can either make chia or flax eggs. To make one vegan egg, mix 1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds with 3 tablespoon water. Allow to rest for 5 minutes until ready to use.
Swap out the chocolate chips. Instead of chocolate chips, add in your favorite toppings such as sprinkles, fresh fruit or chopped Oreos.
