This meal references a single recipe, but can be made lots of different ways depending on your tastes.

This blog post from Wholefully suggests eight different ways to make oatmeal cups. As I discover combinations, I'll add them to my list below. You can meal prep different ones for the week or make a bunch of the same type. Most of the recipes include pantry staples, so it's easy to put together a bunch of these quickly.

I used these Mason jam jars. They are the perfect size for 1/2 cup of oats and the toppings. I like the rounded jars and fun designs on the glass, but any 8oz glass jar would work well.

To make:

1. Build jars with oats and flavorings of your choice.

2. When ready to eat, add boiling water to the lower lip line (go higher if you want it less thick.*)

3. Once you add water, stir and put lid back on.

4. Let sit for a few minutes and enjoy!

*I like my oatmeal very thick. Add more water or cream if you'd like it runnier.

That’s it. Enjoy your oats! One cup. One meal.
