Simple, fast, and delicious baked oatmeal cups with blueberries and cinnamon, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (180g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey (80ml)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk) (360ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries (150g)
  • Optional add-ins: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), chia seeds, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup or honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be thick and a bit lumpy.
  5. Fold in the blueberries and any optional add-ins carefully to avoid breaking the berries.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep oats intact. Grease muffin tins well or use paper liners to prevent sticking. These cups store well in the fridge for up to 5 days and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in microwave before serving.
