These healthy blueberry baked oatmeal cups are my newest flavor creation for microwave oat recipes. I love all things blueberries so I just had to make this version and like the pumpkin and banana bread oatmeal flavors it was delicious.

I love this easy and healthy breakfast because they are gluten free and pretty low in sugar. You can make this batch of baked oatmeal for the week. It makes 4 individual servings so you can grab one and cook it in the microwave instead of the oven. So breakfast only takes a minute or two to cook. 

I also love that they are filling and a satisfying breakfast. If I eat one of these for a late breakfast I find I’m not even hungry for lunch. Also you can add all kinds of things to this delicious recipe to add even more flavor. Next batch I’m added a bit of lemon zest to make some lemon & blueberry oatmeal for breakfast!

Recipe ingredients I used.

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this blueberry oatmeal recipe – fresh blueberries, eggs, almond milk, Swerve brown sugar sweetener, oats, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract and baking powder.

I used the Swerve brown sugar sweetener to cut down on the sugar but if you would rather you can use regular brown sugar. Other options are regular sugar or sweetener or even coconut sugar or maple syrup. I love the flavor of brown sugar in this recipe though so try to use that if you can.

You can also add a ripe banana to add some natural sweeteners and try to keep away from refined sugars. I was trying to keep the carbs to a  minimum.

Also I used fresh blueberries but you could use frozen blueberries. Just let them thaw a bit before making these because they won’t cook in the short time that you are baking them in the microwave. Also you don’t want any excess liquid from any kind of frozen fruit.

Lastly I use almond milk because I like to be dairy free most of the time. However you can use your milk of choice be it regular milk, coconut milk or even oat milk if you want. You really just need some liquid.

How to make baked blueberry oatmeal cups.

Step 1: Add the wet ingredients (almond milk, egg, vanilla extract) to a high speed blender. Then add the dry ingredients (flaxseed, oatmeal, baking powder and brown sugar) and Blend until smooth like the picture below.

You put the blueberries in at the end before cooking in the microwave.

The batter will be a bit thin but don’t worry it will be fine.

Step 2: Get out 4 ramekins or small microwave safe containers. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. You can also grease each with melted butter or coconut oil if you prefer. Then pour the oat mixture equally in the prepared baking dishes. Next add a few blueberries in each cup.

Step 3: When ready to eat, place a ramekin in the microwave and cook for 60-90 seconds at 50% power. Check around the 50 second mark and if the top is just slightly wet it is done. Baking time may vary.

Step 4: If it’s too wet put back in the microwave and cook for a 5 second intervals until done. You don’t want to over cook them or they will be dry. Let them sit for a few minutes to cool.

If you don’t care about added sugar you can add a drizzle of maple syrup on top before eating. Please scroll down to view the printable recipe card.

If you are making these baked blueberry oatmeal cups for meal prep purposes, pour the batter and then cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, cook like above.

You can also cook all of them and just store the cooked oats in the refrigerator. Store the leftovers in an airtight container and just heat up a few seconds in the microwave when ready to eat. Or eat them cold.

Ways to change up this baked oatmeal recipe.

This is a very versatile recipe and I have a few ideas for how to change it up a bit.

• Add zest for more flavor. Grate some lemon zest or orange zest in the batter for another layer of flavor.
• Add chopped nuts like pecans, almonds or walnuts when you add the blueberries. These add flavor, nutrition and crunch.
• Add different fresh or frozen berries like chopped strawberries, blackberries or raspberries along with the blueberries.
• Add other healthy ingredients like unsweetened coconut, cacao nibs, white chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, etc.
• Spices like fresh or ground ginger, ground cinnamon or a pinch of salt.
• Lastly you can try different flavor extracts in place of the vanilla. Try lemon, orange, almond or even maple extracts for example.
