Also, there are optional ingredients:
- Vanilla Extract. Will add more aroma to the oatmeal cups.

Hello Veronica! I’m Yuklin! I just saw, & read your recipe instructions for making blueberry oatmeal muffins.
Your muffins look delicious, I must say! I would like to.make it. Right now I have all the ingredients, except blueberries. Can I substitute green apples, & raisins in the recipe instead? That’s what I have on hand right now.
Please let me know if I can use … 1/2 green apple + 1/2 raisins combined…to replace the blueberries to make the recipe, until I go to the store next time to get blueberries. Then, i will make the blueberry muffins.
Thanks so much Veronica. I appreciate your help, & input I hope the green apples, & raisins combo will work! I can’t wait to hear from you.
Again, thanks so much Veronica. Have a nice day.
I’m planning to pour in muffin tins a day early, then bake ???? Yes?
I have to make ahead for my crowd
Hi Beth, It’s better to bake these oatmeal cups a day before and refrigerate. Then reheat them before ready to serve.
Would frozen blueberries work?
Hi Brigid! Yes, you can use frozen berries in this recipe. I would just defrost them first and remove the excess liquids, not to make the oatmeal cups too mushy.
Those oatmeal cups looks amazing! So healthy and so delicious! Blueberry’s are so satisfying, these muffins are definitely satisfying!
I would build an oatmeal cups tower as tall as it’s possible in my kitchen… that’s how much I love them. It’s time for me to try something new – your recipe looks just perfect!
