Notes

Top tips for perfect baked oats
  • Don’t overfill the muffin tin - they won’t rise much
  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries (no need to defrost)
  • Let them cool slightly so they firm up
  • Grease the tin well to prevent sticking or use silicone cases

There are so many ways to adapt these mini baked oat cups.
  • Swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries or chopped apple
