Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup, and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly incorporated, creating a smooth oatmeal batter.
- Gently fold in fresh blackberries, being careful not to crush them completely to maintain some whole berry texture.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full.
- Optional: Sprinkle a few extra blackberries on top of each cup for additional visual appeal and flavor.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes to help them set and become easier to remove.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges of each cup and gently remove them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Store any leftover oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Blackberries: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh blackberries. If they’re out of season, you can use frozen ones, but make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter treat, feel free to add a bit more, or use honey or agave syrup as alternatives.
- Mix Up the Toppings: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for an extra layer of flavor. You can also top the oatmeal cups with chopped nuts or a dollop of yogurt before serving.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to denser oatmeal cups, so be gentle when folding in the blackberries.
- Storage Solutions: These oatmeal cups are perfect for meal prep! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, or freeze them for a quick breakfast option on busy mornings.
