Recipe Highlights

Here’s why I keep thinking about these oatmeal cups as one of my favorite healthy breakfast ideas.

Here’s everything I use to make Triple Berry Baked Oatmeal Cups, along with some helpful notes and easy replacements.

• rolled oats: Old fashioned oats add rich texture to these cups. Quick oats will have a little effect, but the texture will be softer. I love Millville Old Fashioned Rolled Oats for this recipe.
• Oat flour: This will bind everything together and create a softer, muffin-like texture. I usually mix the rolled oats into the fine flour at home using a food processor or high-speed blender. 2 minutes is enough!
• banana: The riper the better. Brown, speckled bananas provide the best flavor, natural sweetness, and moisture. Bananas are a great overall source of potassium and fiber.
• egg: Two large eggs help hold the oatmeal cups together and provide structure. If you need an egg-free option, you can use flax eggs, but the texture will be slightly softer. Bonus: Eggs are a great source of protein and vitamin A.
• honey: This natural sweetener keeps it lightly sweet without being overpowering. If you have pure maple syrup, it’s an easy swap.
• blueberryRaspberry, blackberry: This berry mix adds sweetness, tartness, and a boost of vitamin C. Fresh or frozen creations. If frozen, you may want to thaw them a bit first. Do you like berries and chocolate? my Raspberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cups.
• Almond Milk: Milk, whether dairy or non-dairy, adds moisture and loosens the dough. Many plant-based milks are also fortified with calcium.
• Coconut Oil: It adds a little richness and prevents the cup from drying out. Neutral oils such as melted butter or avocado oil also work.
• vanilla extract: Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor and adds warmth to the overall taste.
• cinnamon powder: Just a light touch adds a warm flavor and the berries and bananas go together perfectly.
• baking powder: The baking powder will give the oatmeal cups some strength and keep them from being too dense.
• salt: A small pinch will enhance all the flavors and balance out the sweetness.

How to Make Baked Oatmeal Cups

These oatmeal cups come together quickly. Once you make them, you can combine them faster or play with the flavors!

Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. I liberally grease a standard muffin tin with coconut oil or non-stick spray. Don’t skip this step. Oatmeal cups tend to stick, so make sure each hole is well coated, especially around the edges.

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until almost smooth. A few small lumps are okay, but you don’t want any large lumps. The texture of mashed bananas is thick and slightly lumpy, similar to applesauce.

Add eggs, vanilla extract, honey, and almond milk and whisk until fully combined and smooth. I prefer honey, but maple syrup works here too.

In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Distribute everything evenly so there are no clumps of baking powder or spices.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until combined. Then add the melted coconut oil and stir again. Do not add coconut oil any faster. This will ensure that all the ingredients do not harden into little clumps before they are thoroughly mixed. The batter should be thick but still scoopable.

Finally, gently fold in the berries. Don’t overmix, especially if you’re using raspberries or frozen fruit. The dough may break and streak. All it takes is a few gentle folds.

Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup to the top. Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are ready when the tops set and no longer look wet. Look for light golden edges and centers that are firm to the touch and bounce slightly when touched.

A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Let the oatmeal cups cool in the pan for about 5 to 10 minutes before removing them. This will ensure it stays firmly in place and can be easily removed without breaking. Afterwards, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

This rolled oats recipe is perfect for meal prepping and the oatmeal cups keep up really well throughout the week. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It remains soft and moist, making it perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

If you plan ahead, double or triple the batch and store it in the freezer for busy weeks. Freeze these oatmeal cups in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Store in a single layer or with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

When ready to serve, reheat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds and serve warm, or thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Easier than a bowl of oatmeal!

Can I use stevia? applesauce Instead of sweetener in this recipe?

With a few tweaks, it’s possible. Applesauce is easier to swap. Replace the honey with an equal amount of unsweetened applesauce. The oatmeal cups are slightly less sweet and slightly milder, but still delicious. It also adds extra moisture.

You can use stevia or brown sugar, but the texture may be a little drier since it doesn’t add as much volume as honey. If you use stevia, consider adding a tablespoon or two of applesauce or milk to balance the moisture.

Can I use it as powder? peanut butter to Baked Oatmeal Cups?

You can use peanut butter powder, but it’s best used as an additive rather than a complete replacement for the ingredients listed.

Powdered peanut butter adds a light peanut flavor and protein without the saturated fat, but it doesn’t provide as much flavor as regular peanut butter. If you want to add some peanut butter flavor to your oatmeal cups, add a few tablespoons to the batter and mix in a little extra liquid to keep the texture from drying out.

If you want a stronger peanut butter flavor, you can whip up regular peanut butter (or almond butter) before baking, or add mini chocolate chips for a peanut butter-chocolate combo.
