Blueberry Pecan Baked Oatmeal Cups Recipe
Healthy Registered Dietitian breakfast recipe for oatmeal lovers!

Calling all oatmeal lovers! This Registered Dietitian approved make-ahead breakfast (or snack!) recipe works great eaten fresh or pulled out of the freezer and reheated for busy mornings. Although you may think this is a muffin recipe, think of this more like oatmeal, conveniently baked into a cup.
Makes 12 baked oatmeal cups
What You Need
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or any other of your favourite nuts)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon (or other spices, add more or less to taste)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries
How to Make the Blueberry Pecan Oatmeal Cups
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin cups.
- Mix oats, pecans, salt, baking powder, and spices. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, milk, syrup, and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients over dry, and mix well to combine. Fold in blueberries.
- Fill muffin cups about halfway, and bake until just set – about 30 minutes. Cool for 10-15 minutes and remove from tin.
- Can be kept in the fridge for 3 days, or in the freezer for a month.
- Serve warm on their own or with plain Greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.

I just made this recipe. I found when I was mixing it, it had more liquid than I expected…..it’s cooking now. Was that normal that the mixture was quite “ liquidy” ( not a word, I know!) before it is cooked?
Hi Frances – thanks for your note. The mixture will be runny but does firm up as it cooks – hope it worked out for you!
Is the recipe correct that there is no flour? I guess that’s why the batter is runny, as described in another comment. Thanks.
Hello Lisa – yes the recipe is correct – this isn’t a “muffin” recipe but think of it like “oatmeal” that is baked and happens to be in the shape of a muffin. Once made it has the texture of firm oatmeal. The oats will absorb the liquid if you let it sit a bit. Hope this helps!
