These Old Fashioned Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups will have you prepared for breakfasts all week! A super simple baked oatmeal recipe that is full of fiber, and made with wholesome ingredients.
This stay-with-you-all-day breakfast can be prepared so fast! I was looking for a quick and healthy meal that could feed a few all at once. Okay, realistically I was looking for an easy and filling breakfast that would keep my toddler’s tummy full for a while and be eaten as leftovers for a few days (It lasted all of one day, but that’s beside the point!) This breakfast is healthy, naturally sweetened, and is super easy to whip up!
These Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups may seem old fashioned, but it has so many possibilities if you are looking to jazz the dish up a bit. (Don’t tell anyone, but I have even enjoyed this as a dessert. Serve this hot or serve it cold, but with steamed milk on top. Oh, my, goodness. Add fresh berries, add cinnamon, add a drizzle of honey, add nuts – the options are seriously endless!
Benefits of Oats
Rolled Oats are full of nutrients and are an excellent source of fiber. Do they line your stomach like my Granny used to tell me? I have no clue, but they sure do keep me full longer!
How to make Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups
To be totally transparent, because this recipe can be a quick prep recipe, I tend to just toss all of the ingredients into one big bowl and mix well. However, on days where I do have a few extra minutes to dedicate to this, I make it the proper way, and that I will share with you.
Start by combining the oatmeal, baking powder, and salt and mixing them in a large bowl. In a separate bowl add the milk, vanilla, eggs, melted butter, and honey. Depending on the type of honey, you may need to melt this as well in order to get it to a runny consistency. Mix the wet ingredients well.
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl and stir well.
Fold in the frozen blueberries.
Using a small ladle or spoon, divide the mixture evenly into a muffin tin. Take care in making sure the batter is divided evenly based on consistency as well – there may be some juice from the blueberries starting to form if they have been sitting out during the preparation – so each muffin should have an equal batter to liquid ratio!
Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
I’d recommend to let these cool completely in the muffin tin as this will help come time to remove them from the muffin tin. Alternatively, you can use muffin liners for an easy clean up.
Serve hot with cream or milk poured over each individual serving. Add fresh berries or drizzle maple syrup on top.
These Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups are an excellent source of fiber and can be eaten hot or cold. A fun way to “reheat”, if you will, is to steam some milk or cream and pour it over top of a leftover Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cup! – it will make it taste like it just came out of the oven.
These Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups are perfect for an easy breakfast meal prep, as a quick grab-and-go snack, or to make for the whole family for Sunday brunch.
