These easy baked oatmeal cups with blueberries are a quick, wholesome, and delicious breakfast option perfect for meal prep. They offer a soft texture with bursts of juicy blueberries and are ideal for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (135g) rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk preferred, or any dairy-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • Unsalted butter (for greasing) or coconut oil or non-stick spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with unsalted butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to distribute evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly with a whisk or fork. Add milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to break them.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 25-28 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for 10 minutes before loosening edges with a knife and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.

Notes

To prevent blueberries from sinking, toss them in a teaspoon of flour before folding into batter. Use fresh blueberries for best texture; frozen berries add moisture and require a few extra minutes of baking. Grease muffin tin well to avoid sticking. Avoid overmixing batter to keep cups tender. For vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and oil.
