Here are some quick notes on the ingredients in this recipe. For a full list of ingredients and preparation, see the recipe card below.

Small bowls of oatmeal cup ingredients.

Oatmeal – Also known as “Old-Fashioned Oats,” choose certified gluten-free oats to keep them gluten-free.

Pure Maple Syrup – This refined, sugar-free liquid sweetener acts as a binder and sweetener.

Avocado Oil – This oil is rich in healthy fats and has a pleasant, neutral flavor. Alternatively, you can substitute with coconut oil.

Almond Butter – Use unsweetened almond butter. This ingredient provides protein and helps bind the oats. Alternatively, you can use cashew butter.

Strawberry jam or marmalade – I like to use low-sugar jam. You can also substitute other flavors for the strawberries or skip the jam altogether and use mini chocolate chips instead. This strawberry compote is also delicious.

Pure vanilla extract – This gluten-free staple rounds out the delicious flavor of these baked goods.

Baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon
