A yummy make-ahead breakfast. I warm them up for a few seconds in the microwave before serving.

Make-ahead breakfasts are a timesaver on a busy morning, and these baked oatmeal cups are a healthy way to start the day. Don't confuse these with muffins, though. Their texture is completely different. They are only sweetened with honey, so they're not super sweet. The dried cherries plump while baking and add to the sweetness. You can easily drizzle a little extra honey on them when serving. Make these on a Sunday evening, and then all you need to do is pop one in the microwave for a few seconds during the week for a healthier breakfast.
