These blueberry baked oatmeal cups are a make-ahead breakfast that kids love. They’re portable, naturally sweetened, and packed with juicy blueberries in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole, oat, or almond)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in 1 tablespoon of flour first to prevent sinking.
  7. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow oats to absorb liquid.
  8. Scoop the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for a tender texture. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in flour to prevent sinking. These cups freeze well for up to 3 months. Reheat in microwave for 20-30 seconds.
