Blueberry Almond Baked Oatmeal Cups

Baking the oats into individual cups is a nice change from my usual overnight oats, giving them a texture closer to a muffin than a bowl of porridge. Blueberries burst slightly in the oven, which spreads their sweetness through the whole batch.

Baking these in a muffin tin makes portioning almost automatic, since each cup is close to a single serving on its own. Almonds on top add a bit of crunch that a soft baked oatmeal would otherwise be missing.

This is a good option for anyone who doesn't love the texture of overnight oats but still wants something oat-based for breakfast. They hold up fine at room temperature, so they travel well too.

The recipe card has the full ingredient breakdown and bake time for all ten portions. Let the oatmeal cups cool before dividing them into containers, then refrigerate what you'll eat within four days and freeze the rest. They're good reheated or straight from the fridge.
