Blueberry Walnut Baked Oatmeal Cups

Easy, vegan, and oil-free baked oatmeal cups!

School is starting back and these healthy blueberry walnut baked oatmeal cups are perfect for a quick breakfast.  They can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.  I thaw them in the fridge the night before, then breakfast is ready for those busy mornings.  The oatmeal cups would also be great for snacks or school lunches.

The baked oatmeal is mostly old-fashioned oats so they have lots of fiber to keep you full longer, plus you get all the extra benefits of having your daily dose of fiber.  Blueberries are there so you can start your day off with some fruit, and we all know how great berries are for you.  

Tips for Baking Oatmeal Cups

I use frozen blueberries in baked goods, they’re cheaper and they can be found all year round.  After the dry mixture is combined with the spices, the spices will fall to the bottom of the bowl.  Your next step is to mix in the wet ingredients, make sure you mix the oat mixture with the wet ingredients really well.  Then gently fold in the blueberries and walnuts. Bake the oatmeal cups for 35 minutes, so they're firm yet still a little soft in the middle.  

I use silicone liners for my muffin tray.  The liners can be kept on the oatmeal cups when freezing them.  They also act like a little serving cup for your muffin.   

I love make-ahead meals for breakfast on school mornings.  It makes mornings go a little smoother and I won’t be reaching for processed food.
