Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the almond milk and maple syrup, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth liquid mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until all ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Carefully spoon the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cooled oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries - both work wonderfully! If using frozen, don't thaw them first to prevent color bleeding.
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg to the wet ingredients.
- Make sure to grease your muffin tin thoroughly or use silicone liners to prevent sticking.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense oatmeal cups. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or some chopped nuts to the mixture.
- These oatmeal cups are freezer-friendly! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months and reheat quickly for a grab-and-go breakfast.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips, raspberries, or chopped almonds to keep things interesting.
