Instructions

Prepare for baking: Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 12-count muffin tin with cooking spray, or use silicone baking cups.

Make the oatmeal mixture: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the jam or jelly and stir until well mixed.

Assemble: Spoon the oatmeal mixture into the baking cups, filling the wells about 3/4 full. Leave about 1/4 of the oatmeal mixture for topping. Using the back of a small spoon, press the oatmeal mixture up against the sides of each muffin well, forming a divet in the center for the filling. Gently spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of jam into each muffin well. Take another small spoonful of oatmeal mixture and carefully cover the jelly. The muffin wells should be nearly completely full.

Bake: Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted around the edge comes out clean (don’t insert through the jelly, it won’t be clean!). There may be jelly bubbling out of the oatmeal cup – that’s okay! Let the oatmeal cups cool in the muffin tin for 4-5 minutes, then on a cooling rack until completely cool.

Serve and store: Serve the oatmeal cups immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Jam Placement Strategy 🎯
Place a spoonful of jam in the center of each cup before adding the final layer of batter to prevent it from sinking to the bottom and ensure bursts of flavor in every bite.
Peanut Butter Temperature Trick 🥜
Warm your peanut butter slightly before mixing to ensure it blends smoothly and evenly throughout the batter without creating clumpy pockets.
Oat Texture Control 🌾
Use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than instant for better structure and a more pleasant chewy texture that won't turn mushy when baked.
Optimal Cooling & Storage 🧊
Let cups cool completely in the pan for 10 minutes before removing—this sets the structure perfectly and prevents crumbling during unmolding.
Make-Ahead Mastery 🔄
Store cooled cups in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months; reheat gently in the microwave for 30-45 seconds to restore freshness.
