Notes
Opt for fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
Old-fashioned rolled oats work best in oatmeal cups as they provide a hearty texture and hold their shape well when baked.
Use a large ice cream scoop or measuring cup to ensure even distribution of the batter among the 12 cupcake cavities.
After baking, allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents them from falling apart.
