Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Topping

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • splash of water (to achieve desired consistency)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it well or lining it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, stirring to evenly distribute all dry components.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture and stir until everything is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Blueberries and Nuts: Gently fold in fresh blueberries and optional chopped walnuts to the batter for bursts of flavor and texture.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup completely to ensure satisfying, full-sized oatmeal cups.
  7. Bake: Bake the oatmeal cups in the preheated oven at 350°F for 25 to 27 minutes, until they are set and lightly golden on top.
  8. Cool: Allow the baked cups to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
  9. Optional Topping: Mix powdered sugar with a splash of water to make a glaze and drizzle over the cooled oatmeal cups for an extra touch of sweetness if desired.
  10. Storage: Store the cooled oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to six months for longer preservation.
