These baked oatmeal cups combine tart lemon zest and juicy blueberries for a quick, wholesome breakfast that’s perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, 240ml)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g)
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (80ml)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (150g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Unsalted butter or coconut oil for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully to keep them whole.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 25-28 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
  8. Let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking or use silicone muffin liners. If tops brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk. Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats may become mushy. Fresh lemon zest is key for bright flavor. Fold blueberries gently to keep them whole. Store cooled cups in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze individually.
