My 12 month old granddaughter has one of these for breakfast each morning. She loves them! Thanks for the recipe! I also added a bit of cinnamon. And I used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1/2 cup brown sugar for the sweetner. I also just use one banana instead of two.

Linda says
How much cinnamon did you put in?
Brenda poage says
I just made these and they are so easy to make. I only had reg. oatmeal to use. I used splenda brown sugar. Next time i will cut down on the brown sugar. A little to sweet for me. But they are wonderful. I freeze bananas when they are getting to ripe just for things like this.
Kristin says
How much cinnamon did you add?

Hi Colette, you are right, you need to add blueberries after mixing. Enjoy
Sonya says
Yes that part was missing but I knew to do that but one other question, at the top of the recipe it says bake time 25 minutes but in the instructions it sates 15 minutes, which is the correct time?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Sonya, 25 minutes is the total time. You need to bake these Oatmeal cups for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
Kathryn says
I’m wondering the same thing. I don’t see where it says what to do with the blueberries. Do you fold them in at the end?
I just made a batch and they are very yummy but they fell apart so I’ll going to have to give it another try. Great for group breakfast! Thanks.
Maisie Bradley says
Mine have also fallen apart – any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Karen says
What can you replace the cup of sugar with? Would apple sauce work?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Karen, I haven’t tried without sugar, but I think apple sauce would work for this recipe. Good luck and enjoy!
Judy says
What about honey?
Britni says
Did you use honey? Where they successful?
Dan says
These look great. I’m wondering, though, if the oats need to be cooked before mixing with other ingredients and then baking? Or do they get added dry?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Dan, you need to add dry oats. Thank you and enjoy!
Linda Abegg says
At the top this says bake time is 25 min, but in the recipe it says 15. Which is it?

Lidia Simic says
Hi, you can make these oatmeal cups without sugar. Good luck and enjoy!
Barbara Miller says
An odd question – what might be substituted for the bananas?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Barbara, I really don’t know, I always make them with bananas. Good luck!
Kristy says
Canned pumpkin ??
Rebbecca Heath says
Did you make them without banana? I would like to know how they turned out as I’m not a big fan of bananas in oatmeal.
PxyDust says
Pumpkin works!
Logan says
How much pumpkin do you use?
Claudia says
Hi !!! I HATE bananas and I always add zucchini (2) / apple / carrot / spinach and 3/4 cup of non fat Greek yogurt to make up for the moist in the banana good luck !!

Maria says
Can you make them without eggs?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Maria, You can use a “flax egg” or “chia egg” here. I’ve tried both and they work fine, or you can try 1/2 cup applesauce!
Mercedes gastelum says
Instead of blueberries I would like to use walnuts and cinnamon how do you think will turned out ?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Mercedes, you can use walnuts and cinnamon is always a good idea for oatmeal cups. Good luck!
Heather says
I’m trying to eliminate processed foods & refined sugar from my diet, any suggestions as to what I can replace the sugar with?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Heather, you can make these cups without sugar. Enjoy!
Suemarie says
I make something similar and basically you can add any fruit. I add pears as they’re sweet but I don’t use sugar. adding walnuts sounds good think I’ll try that. Also add 0% day Greek yogurt as I don’t use banana. Thanks for the recipe Lidia.

Thanks Emilie! 🙂
Sherie says
I took an educated guess as to when to add the blueberries to the recipe since your recipe above does not include this step.
Lidia Simic says
Hi Sherie! Blueberries need to be added with the other ingredients. Enjoy!
Sherie says
I’m making these again. I thought for sure you would edit your recipe and include when the darn blueberries are added!!!!

Hi Laura, you can get 12 muffins. Enjoy!

I make these weekly. Instead of a full cup of brown sugar I use half and half of truvea. I alnerate my fruits. This week I used apples and raisins. Love these muffins!
Lidia Simic says
🙂
Patti says
Thanks so much for this great recipe. My husband and all my co-workers loved these. All the healthy ingredients and having them ready to grab for a quick breakfast make these a new favorite.
Lidia Simic says
You’re welcome Patti! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this nice comment!
Bob says
Hi, i just noticed that in the instructions section, you had forgotten to say to add the blueberries’ was a bit confused.
Thanks
Lidia Simic says
Hi Bob, you are right. You need to add blueberries after mixing. Good luck and enjoy!
Lupita Flores says
I have made them and they are delicious and easy for in the run breakfast. I also added 1/2 cup of flax seed to mine, they are delicious!
Lidia Simic says
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for sharing this nice comment! 🙂
KelseyM says
I made these and ended up using 1/2 cup of coconut sugar and it was a bit too sweet. I think I would use honey next time to make it a little healthier. Otherwise, they are delicious. I’m sure they’re really good with the brown sugar but I try to keep things a little better for me nowadays, would have given 5 stars if they were. I used the cinnamon and it was a really good addition, totally agree with the commenters. All in all, very tasty and will totally make them again this week.
Alli says
Made these the morning for the first time. I’m hooked lol. Love them Used with a hint of cinnamon. They are delish. Thanks
Alli says
Forgot to mention I used Coconut Sugar instead of the brown sugar. It was still delicious.
Lidia Simic says
You’re very welcome! 🙂 I’m glad you like it! Thanks for sharing this nice comment!
Missy says
The recipe calls for blueberries, but when do you add them? Do you mash them with the banana or fold them in before dividing into the muffin pan?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Missy, you are right, you need to add blueberries after mixing. Enjoy!
Val says
These sound great and I’m going to try them, but I think your calorie count is low by about half. The brown sugar adds more than 800 calories to the total recipe. I calculated 156 cal/muffin. Still acceptable, but I’ll probably reduce the sugar by at least half for my taste. I also think cinnamon would be great in this recipe!
Lidia Simic says
Hi Val, cinnamon is always a good idea for oatmeal cups. Good luck!
Carrie says
Awesome recipe thank you!!! Made a couple of different batches and the ease makes this a quick go to for healthier treats.
Lidia Simic says
Thanks for sharing this nice comment Carrie! 🙂
Erika says
Thank you for posting this recipe. It was easy, delicious & healthy. I made a few changes & wanted share.
My updates are: 3 frozen (really ripe) bananas. 2 bananas were small, 1 was medium. 2c quick oats (I was out of old fashioned) 2 eggs. 1/2c local honey. 1t baking powder. 1t vanilla. Heaping 1/2t cinnamon. 1c fresh blueberries. Appx 2/3-3/4c chopped walnuts. Baked at 425 for 15 minutes. Made 10 muffins.
Kristy says
Thank you for the great modifications!
Stephanie says
I added a pinch of cinnamon, chia seeds and pecans. Delicious!!!
Amy says
Loved the idea but way too much sugar. I may try this again with half the sugar and some nuts.
Sandy says
These were amazing !… Will make weekly ! I only used 1/4 cup brown sugar and they were perfect Thank you so much ?
Lidia Simic says
You’re very welcome Sandy! 🙂 I’m glad that you like the recipe!
Melanie says
I just made these and I just replaced brown sugar with swerve and they are amazing. Thank you for such a simple delicious recipe
Lidia Simic says
You’re very welcome Melanie! 🙂 I’m glad that you like the recipe!
Ang says
Can the egg be substituted? Husband is allergic
Lidia Simic says
Hi Ang, eggs are the binder so they probably won’t stay together without them. I’m not familiar with egg substitutes. Tastes wise they’ll be okay without eggs, they will just probably not stick together.
Lori says
Are these Gluten Free?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Lori, Yes these cups are gluten free. Enjoy!
Mardy Joy says
Regular, or old fashioned oats are not gluten free because it’s processed by rolling it in wheat/flour.
Yummiest Food says
Thank you for the comment and useful information, Mardy! 🙂
Kris says
Thanks for the recipe, these were delicious! Followed the directions except I substituted one banana with pumpkin and added cinnamon. Easy to make and full of flavor
Lidia Simic says
You’re very welcome Kris! I’m glad that you like the recipe! 🙂
Jennifer says
I added the grated rind of a lemon and 2 TBSP of lemon juice. Yum.
Donna Herring says
Delicious, but I baked too long. Cook time at top of recipe says 25 mins. & at end of recipe says 15 mins. A bit misleading for me. Will definitely try again & bake 15 mins.
Jean says
I don’t have the liners is it OK to use without them? They look good!
Lidia Simic says
Hi Jean, You can make bars instead of cups. Good luck and enjoy!
Christine says
These are great. I add a little bit of cinnamon. I also reduce brown sugar a little to add a little maple syrup. It’s super easy to make more than one type by replacing the blueberries with a cup of topping.
Lidia Simic says
Thank you for such a nice comment Christine! I’m glad that you like the recipe! 🙂
Sarah says
Love this recipe! Tried it for the first time, so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I swapped the brown sugar for 2/3 cup of honey and they came out just as good. Also added a touch of cinnamon. Cannot wait to try it with other fruits aswell. Thank you for sharing it
Lidia Simic says
You’re very welcome Sarah! 🙂 Thank you for such a nice comment! I’m glad that you like the recipe!

Lauren says
Love this recipe!! I use coconut (palm) sugar instead of brown sugar and they taste just as sweet to me as when I tried the recipe with brown sugar. I also use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free oats and it turns out great.
Lidia Simic says
I’m glad that you like the recipe! 🙂 It’s a great idea to use coconut (palm) sugar instead of brown sugar! Thank you for such a nice comment Lauren!
Gina says
These are so delicious and will definitely be making them often!!
Lidia Simic says
Thank you for such a nice comment! I’m glad that you like the recipe! 🙂
Rebecca says
Delicious thanks !
Lidia Simic says
You’re welcome Rebecca! 🙂
Eva says
I need some help with this recipe because when I put it into my diet app it says each muffin is a little over 200 calories each. I am having trouble with figuring out how you are doing it to get it to how each muffin is only 76 calories. I have a screenshot to show all of the ingredients individually and their calorie totals as well as how much each serving is calorie wise. The Brown sugar is about 1400 calories and the oats are a little more than 600 calories for the entire recipe total and I divided it all by 12. Then adding the egg, banana and other stuff adds a ton more.
Katlyn says
Hi! Just wondering if it is okay to use quick oats instead of the old fashioned rolled oats?? Thank you in advance, excited to try them!!
Lidia Simic says
Hi Katlyn, I haven’t tried quick oats instead of the old-fashioned rolled oats, I think the quick oats will turn out mushy, but you can try
Angie says
I add a 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, it gives you a crunch and added deliciousness!
Lidia Simic says
A great idea Angie! 🙂
Pamela says
These were delicious, thank you! I am new to baking & thought this might not work without flour; silly me. ? 20 minutes in my oven and they were perfect. Thanks again.
Lidia Simic says
You’re very welcome Pamela! 🙂 I’m glad that you like the recipe!
Shannon says
Love these! I used dark coconut sugar and added chopped pecans and cinnamon.
Lidia Simic says
Thank you for such a nice comment Shannon! I’m glad you like the recipe! 🙂
Douglas says
I’m a novice baker but I made these last night and they were delicious! I kept them in the oven a few minutes longer than recipe indicated (probably 18 minutes) and they were still almost too moist on the bottom half. Still edible but not as perfect as they should have been. I wonder if it might be due to using foil baking cups (without paper liner) and/or old baking powder?
I also wondered if these it’s a bad idea to do them without a baking cup, just right in the muffin pan?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Douglas, I wouldn’t suggest it unless you spray the muffin liners because baked oatmeal tends to stick to them.
Teri says
Do you think they’d come out the same if I substituted honey for brown sugar? If it’s been tried how much honey should be used?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Teri, I haven’t tried without sugar, but I think honey would work. I would use 1/2 – 1/3 cup. Good luck and enjoy!
Hilda Vandergriff says

Heather Schwarz says
What is the best way to store these?? Just made them, they are delicious!!!!
Lidia says
Hi Heather, you can store them in the refrigerator to enjoy throughout the week. You can also freeze them and then heat them up real quick in the microwave for a quick and easy breakfast to take on the go. Enjoy!
Traci says
Sweet jesus these are good! Only thing I’m not digging is the amount of sugar added. Want to make them next time with half the amount and maybe stevia to make up for the rest. Also add some flax or chia to the mix. Thanks for the recipe!!
Yummiest Food says
You’re very welcome, Traci! 🙂 I’m glad you like the recipe!
Heather says
Had old bananas laying around blueberries that my toddler decided he didn’t want to eat anymore. Came across this recipe and it did not disappoint. I did bake them for about 18 minutes though as after 15 they still seemed too wet inside. DELICIOUS! 🙂
Yummiest Food says
Thank you for such a nice comment, Heather! I’m glad you like the recipe! 🙂
Mel says
Anyone use something other than bananas? I hate the flavor of bananas. Thanks!
Yas says
These are great!!! I didn’t know what to do with all these blueberries and this recipe was perfect. I also chopped up some walnuts and added for some extra crunch. Thanks a bunch
Yummiest Food says
You’re most welcome, Yas! 🙂 I’m glad you like the recipe!
HopeA says
Made this recipe and loved it!…so much so that I’m waiting for 3rd batch in 2 weeks! Awesome!
Yummiest Food says
Thanks for sharing this nice comment, HopeA! 🙂 I’m glad you like the recipe!
Wendy says
I just made thus for the first time. They taste delicious but stuck to the muffin papers, any suggestions for the next time I fix?
Yummiest Food says
Hi Wendy! I’m glad you like the recipe! 🙂 Maybe you could try to use a silicone muffin pan or baking cups from Reynolds. Hope it helps! 🙂
Lisa Sullivan says
Can applesauce be substituted for the bananas?
Yummiest Food says
Yes Lisa, it can. Naturally, it will be a different taste and texture. Have good luck with the modified recipe! 🙂
Nat says
Mine also fell apart once taken out of the oven and cooled!! Should I try adding another egg ?
Yummiest Food says
Yes. It’s a good idea! 🙂
Michaela says
do these need to be refrigerated or can they be left out and covered?
thanks!
Yummiest Food says
Hi, Michaela! ) No, they don’t need to be refrigerated. They can be left out and covered.
Kristin says
Do these need to be refrigerated?
Yummiest Food says
Hi Kristin! 🙂 No, the don’t but they can be. Hope it helps.
Denise says
LOVED these! My frozen banana pieces worked great but may have made my batter a little thinner (there was frost on them). I love nuts—adding walnuts upped the yumminess!
Thank you!
Rory says
These are delicious but I recommend 17 min min were still a little gooey in the middle
JaNesse says
Made these today, LOVE them! Will for sure be making them again in the future 🙂
Tara says
We love this recipe. I use it often, trading out different fruits, adding different nuts, honey, even dried fruits. We have even toasted coconut on the tops. Such a great and versatile recipe! Thanks so much for sharing.
Yummiest Food says
You’re very welcome! 🙂
