I’m not completely dairy-free, but I prefer to use some delicious dairy-free products instead of the regular ones. Plant-based milk and yogurt are two of those products, and they are full of delicious plant-based goodness!
I’ve tested out a few dairy-free yogurts that are not my favorite. Some have strange tastes and textures, but this Silk Dairy-Free yogurt has such a smooth taste. I chose the vanilla flavor to top my Orange Cranberry Baked Oatmeal Cups. They have so many other delicious flavors to choose from, too! When it comes to plant-based milk, I prefer to skip the sugar and use the original flavor (especially when baking), but the other flavors are also great! One thing I love about Silk dairy-free yogurt and milk is that you can easily replace it at a 1:1 ratio for regular yogurt and milk in almost any recipe. This allows you to enjoy the tasty goodness of plant-based foods without modifying any recipes!
This Orange Cranberry Baked Oatmeal Cup recipe is one of my favorites this time of year! The two flavors combine so well, making these oatmeal cups fresh and delicious. Not to mention, they’re so bright and pretty! I’m terrible at eating a substantial breakfast if it isn’t already made, and these oatmeal cups make it so easy to avoid sugary cereals.

Oatcup Recipe Ingredients
- Oats – I used old-fashioned oats, but if you’re gluten-free, ensure to use gluten-free certified oats.
- Coconut sugar – Brown sugar will also work.
- Spices – This recipe calls for ground cinnamon and salt.
- Maple syrup – Be sure to use pure maple syrup, not artificial pancake syrup.
- Orange – I used the zest of one orange and 2 Tablespoons of orange juice.
- Cranberries – You can use fresh or dried cranberries.
- Silk Non-Dairy Yogurt – I used their vanilla yogurt as a topping.
- Baking powder
- Ground flaxseed
- Plain Silk Soymilk
- Vanilla extract
As most of you know, we recently moved states, and I was really sad to leave my favorite Albertsons grocery store, which I was so familiar with. Thankfully, it turns out the Albertsons where we live now is just as amazing! Not everyone thinks about that stuff, but a good grocery store is a must when you shop a few times a week!
Another great thing about being able to continue shopping at Albertsons is that the store is set up the same way as our old one, so I immediately knew exactly where to find all my favorite products. You can find the Silk Dairy-Free yogurt and milk in the dairy section, right next to where you would find the regular milk and yogurt.
How To Make Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Cups
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix.
- Add all the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix until completely combined.
- Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, and scoop the oatmeal mixture into it using a large ice cream scoop or a 1/4 measuring cup.
- Bake oatmeal cups until firm to the touch and cooked through, 20-25 mins.
I hope you all had a wonderful New Year and that 2019 brings everything you long for and more! I love the fresh start that the new year brings! I will welcome my second child in just a few short weeks, so 2019 will definitely be a year of growth and adjustment for me, but I’m looking forward to every second of it!
Orange Cranberry Baked Oatmeal Cups Recipe Tips
- I sprayed my muffin tin with coconut oil, but you can also use silicone muffin liners if you have those.
- I like to let my baked oatmeal cups sit in the muffin tin for at least 10 minutes after baking so they have time to cool down and firm up.
- These baked oatmeal cups are freezer-friendly! I recommend freezing them in an airtight container for up to three months. Before eating, let them thaw overnight and then heat in the microwave or oven until the desired temperature is reached.
- They can also be enjoyed cold. I actually prefer them cold most mornings and don’t even bother heating them up.

Hi Lisa. My mixture isn’t very wet as you mentioned in the recipe on the original website I found. Now that I have seen this recipe I can see you call for 2 cups of milk rather than 2 1/3 cups and 2 tablespoons of juice rather than 2 teaspoons. So the mixture is more like granola?. The house does smell really good though!
Hi there,
I am wanting to make these. Has anyone tried using honey instead of coconut/brown sugar?
I haven’t tried it myself but I think it would probably work because this recipe is pretty forgiving 🙂
Is the yogurt to go in the recipe? Or is it to top with after cooking? Thanks
It’s just for topping them with 🙂
Looks like a delicious healthier item for breakfast!
Thanks, Carolyn! They’re perfect for a healthy breakfast!
Hi, am I am to leave out flax due to an allergy? And can I sub almond milk ?
The flax is mainly to help them firm up when you cook them. It should be fine without, they just may need to cool a little longer after baking, or you could add chia seed instead. I hope that helps!
Thank you!
Happy New Year Izzy! These look really good! Love cranberries & oranges together in the oatmeal! Yum! Best of Luck to you in the coming days with the baby!
Happy New Year, Tina! Thank you so much! Only a few more weeks to go!
These look and sound absolutely wonderful! Am going to try this for sure! Thank you!
Thank you, Lisa! I hope you enjoy them!
