Baked oatmeal cups are an easy and healthy breakfast that can be made ahead of time. They freeze well for weekly meal prep or for a quick on-the-go breakfast.
Last year I was all about overnight oats. And while I still enjoy them, I’ve been wanting a little change. Enter baked oatmeal. This baked oatmeal recipe is a delicious way to enjoy oatmeal.
When the oatmeal is baked, they are chewy with a tender interior. I really love the texture.
Ingredients
- Old fashioned oats
- Baking powder
- Milk – I like to use skim milk but any milk will work including almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk,
- Large eggs
- Honey
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh blueberries
You can customize with various berries, dried fruit, and nuts like pecans or walnuts. The flavor combinations are endless!
So far, I’ve made blueberry, banana, almond, cinnamon apple and peanut butter chocolate chip. You could also try raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
Recipe Steps
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the oat mixture and stir. Stir in the blueberries.
Fill the muffin pan with the oatmeal mixture and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the oatmeal cups with a spatula and place them on a wire rack to cool.
Store the baked blueberry oatmeal in the refrigerator you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container.
I usually make about two dozen at once and store some in the fridge and some in the freezer. I reheat mine in the microwave.
Recipe now updated with video! For the video version, I substituted blueberries with cherries. You can view all my recipe videos on my youtube channel as well.

Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Cups
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup skim milk see note
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking oil spray.
- In a large bowl, add oats and baking powder. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, add milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until everything is evenly blended. Add liquid mixture to oats. Stir until all oats are coated in liquid. It is okay for your mixture to look watery as not all the liquid will be absorbed right away. Stir in blueberries.
- Fill each muffin mold to the top with oats mixture, making sure to include the liquid as it will help cook the oats during baking.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until tops of oats are a light toasted brown and oats are cooked through. The interior of the oat cups should be soft but not mushy. Loosen oat cups with a spatula to remove from muffin pan. Store uneaten oatmeal cups in fridge or freezer.

Delicious and so easy to make! I ate mine with a scoop of low sugar vanilla yogurt.
That sounds great! We’re so glad you enjoyed the recipe.
These are delicious! Your recipe gave me a perfect dozen. Instead of oiling a muffin pan, I just used silicone muffin cups and the blueberry oatmeal cups came out of them easily without sticking or breaking. I’m thrilled with this recipe and will switch out the blueberries for other fruits like peach, banana, or strawberry bits. Thanks for sharing this! It’s one of the best finds in Pinterest!!!
I’m so glad they worked out for you!
Could you just not use any sweetener? I am starting a 40 day sugar fast and trying to cut out all the sugar I can. Thanks.
yes definitely!
I’ve been doing Noom since January. These blueberry oatmeal cups have been a part of my go-to breakfast almost from the get-go of using Noom. I’ve also shared this recipe numerous times with other Noomers. Noom uses a food color system. So if anybody asks, they’re all green except for the honey, which is red. Paired with a couple scrambled eggs, I have a yummy breakfast for about 300 calories. Oh, I add a couple teaspoons of cinnamon to them. Sooo good!!
Thanks sooo much, Kirbie, for developing this recipe!
thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed these very much! I only used about half the honey and subbed almond milk and it turned out great! Swapped the blueberries for a couple chunky mashed bananas and added some cinnamon and they were great too. Great base recipe!!! Thanks so much. Excited to add some almond butter and flax to the next batch.
So glad you enjoyed!
Can I make this recipe without honey? I just don’t really care for t but will it mess up the consistency?
I think you can skip the honey and replace with sweetener of your choice.
Can I use almond or cashew milk?
yes
Oh my goodness. Made these this afternoon and they are so good!! Only had 1/4 cup of honey so 1/4 cup of sugar free pure maple syrup. Thanks for the recipe.
So glad you like them! I was actually just about to make a batch for this weekend.
Would I be able to use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes I think that should be okay
Do you use the 1 minute, or 5 minute oats?
Look for ones labeled old fashioned rolled oats. I buy mine in bulk at my local Sprouts. I believe the 1-minute oats are quick oats, which you don’t want. I’m not sure what the 5-minute oats are.
I love plain old oatmeal, but these look so delicious I just have to try them! Yummy!
hope you enjoy!
Do you have the variations or recipes for the pb choc chip, and cinnamon apple ones? These blueberry oatmeal cups look yummy too!
sorry I never shared the other variations on the blog. I will make sure to do so soon.
These baked blueberry oatmeal cups look really yummy Kirby! I’ll be making these as soon as I buy more oatmeal. I need to buy two at a time bc it seems to never last long. Lol.
I was also looking for your variations or recipes of the pb choc chip ones and the others you made, but I can’t find anything.
It’s always interesting to see what you come up with next.
Happy New Year and stay warm! It’s going to be -3 during the day and -20 at night on Saturday! The coldest it’s ever been!
I’m putting down newspaper for my dog to pee on tomorrow night. Lol.
I will share my other variations soon! I didn’t know there would be so much interest in the other variations. Stay warm!
YUMZ. These are so darn cute- and they look pretty darn delicious too. Definitely a top notch on-the-go breakfast!
My current favorite on-the-go breakfast!
Can’t wait to try this! I decided that I’m not a fan of overnight oats but this looks like a great way to vary my usual oatmeal. Happy New Year, Kirbie!
Happy New Year Sandy! Definitely try this one out. It’s a different texture than overnight oats so you might like this one!
When do you add in the blueberries?
It’s in step 3 at the very end
