Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups are an easy make ahead breakfast that are bursting with blueberries in every bite. These are not only delicious, they are healthy and made without refined sugars, making them perfect for kids and adults alike.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 6-count jumbo muffin tins with jumbo liners.
In a blender, combine the bananas, dates, 1/2 cup of milk, eggs, vanilla, applesauce, and melted & cooled butter. Blend until bananas and dates are finely processed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Pour wet ingredients from the blender, and the remaining two cups of milk into mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Add frozen blueberries, and mix until well combined.
Immediately spoon mixture into prepared muffin tins, making sure you have an even amount of wet vs. dry ingredients. There should be some milk visible on top of each muffin.
Bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until muffins are set in the center. Remove to cooling racks. EAT!
Notes
STORAGE: After making these muffin cups, I let them cool, and then wrap them up one-by-one in some cling wrap. Then place them in a couple of freezer bags, and freeze. My guys grab one in the morning, and warm them up when they get to work.
TRUTH: These are not sweet muffins. They are baked oatmeal cups, that are naturally sweetened with dates, cinnamon applesauce, and blueberries. If you are looking for a sweet muffin (as in quick bread), head HERE. :D
I highly recommend using jumbo muffin tins because it's the perfect breakfast portion. One muffin cup has only 167 calories, and is loaded with vitamins, protein, and fiber.
