My mom was visiting us a few weeks ago and we wanted to make something for our breakfasts and snacks that were portable, delicious, simple and full of summer fruit flavor. Since the combinations of peaches and blueberries has always been a favorite of mine, I thought why not pack them into cute little oatmeal cups with the addition of creamy protein-packed almond butter?! Best breakfast ever!
By the way, I recently introduced baby Sidney to almond butter and he can’t get enough! I swirl it into his oatmeal or put it on bananas and he always gobbles it up. My absolute favorite almond butter lately has been Wild Friends because it’s creamy, perfectly salted and DRIPPY. They just gave me a discount code ‘AMBITIOUS15’ to share for 15% off (just sharing the love with you all!)
Ingredients in peach blueberry oatmeal cups
These easy peach oatmeal cups have super simple ingredients but pack plenty of delicious flavor from juicy peaches and blueberries. They’re dairy free, naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and easily made gluten free. Here’s everything you need:
- Almond butter: use a natural, creamy almond butter that just has almonds and salt as ingredients. Peanut butter will also work well.
- Coconut oil: to add a bit of dairy free moisture to these oatmeal cups. You can also sub butter or vegan butter.
- Eggs: we’re just using 2 eggs to help these oatmeal cups hold together and add a boost of protein. I haven’t tried using flax eggs in this recipe but let me know if you do!
- Pure maple syrup: you’ll just need a bit of pure maple syrup to naturally sweeten the oatmeal cups. Honey would also work well!
- Milk: keep these peach blueberry oatmeal cups dairy free using your favorite dairy free milk. I personally like using unsweetened almond milk.
- Vanilla: for a little additional flavor.
- Rolled oats: feel free to use gluten free rolled oats to keep them gluten free. Do not use steel cut oats as the texture will be much different.
- Cinnamon: for a wonderful, cozy spice addition.
- Baking powder & salt: to help these oatmeal cups bake up properly.
- Peaches: we’re adding diced peaches inside the oatmeal cups and slices on top for extra peach goodness!
- Blueberries: fill your oatmeal cups with juicy blueberries along with the diced peaches. YUM.
How to make baked blueberry oatmeal cups
The best part about these gluten free peach blueberry oatmeal cups is how easy they are to make!
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with muffin liners and spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent oatmeal cups from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the almond butter, coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
- Next stir in dry ingredients: oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; stir well to combine. Fold diced peaches and blueberries into the batter.
- Evenly distribute oatmeal batter between muffin liners. Place a peach slice on top of each muffin. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Drizzle with your favorite nut butter before serving, if desired. Serves 12.
How to store & reheat oatmeal cups
You can make these healthy blueberry peach oatmeal cups ahead of time and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Once ready to eat, just reheat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Great news: freezing baked oatmeal cups is easy! Simply allow them to cool completely after baking, then place them in an airtight container or reusable bag such as these and freeze for up to 3 months. Once ready to eat, you can microwave them for 45 seconds-1 minute or until warm.

Omg YUM! Would frozen peaches and blueberries work in this recipe? Can’t wait to make tonight for tomorrow’s breakfast!
I would not recommend as they would likely have too much liquid. The frozen blueberries might be fine, but probably not the peaches. Hope you get a chance to try these!
This was super easy to make, my 3 yo lead the combining process. Unfortunately we only had frozen peaches that didn’t fully defrost so I’ll update you on what happens. But the organization was PERFECTION!!
Perfect! Love it!
I had to save this to my August board on Pinterest – did you know August is National Peach Month? These are perfect And portable as you noted – especially for a school lunch or just on the go. They look hearty too!
Perfect timing! Let me know if you give them a try 🙂
Wow!!!! These muffins are the easy and tastiest muffins I’ve had in a long time!! I’ve already eaten 2 of them and I just finished baking them.
So happy to hear that! Perfect breakfast 🙂
How can these be made nut free?
You can try sunflower seed butter 🙂
Easy and delicious, Just wondering how they would be if I made the oats into oat flour? The oat texture was strong to me.
Maybe even doing half rolled oats and half quick oats would help!
Glad you liked them! I think you could do quick oats for better texture or just pulse the oats down a bit.
These are delicious! Blueberries & peaches + almond butter & oats… all of my favorites in one perfect little cup! I made them exactly as the recipe said. Going on a quick overnight trip to the beach and our hotel doesn’t offer breakfast so I made these! I hope they are still around by the time we leave on Wednesday…
The perfect breakfast! And they should be just fine 🙂
I want to give these to my 13 month old daughter but the rolled oats (even after baking) would be not easy for her to chew. Do you happen to know whether subbing with Oat flour work?
Thank you!
I think you could do quick oats for better texture or just pulse the oats down a bit! That’s likely what I would do for my son!
These were amazing!! I followed the recipe, including peach slices on top, and the whole family gobbled them up. The oats give them a great texture and although I could have eaten about 5 in a sitting, one of them really was good for a filling snack. As always, a 5 star recipe.
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Delicious! I had just bought a jar of almond butter to make some ice cream and was thinking that I needed another recipe w/ almond butter to use the rest of the jar, and then you posted this! Husband really enjoyed them too. I loved the cute little peach slices on top. I used thawed frozen blueberries, and they worked out well.
Love it! Perfect timing 🙂 glad you both enjoyed!
Love the blueberry & peach together! Flax eggs worked great. Thx for another great recipe.
Isn’t it delicious? I’m glad the flax eggs worked out well! 🙂
These were great! I accidentally bought a sweetened almond butter, so I chose to leave out the syrup. They turned out wonderfully.
Good call! I’m glad that worked out well 🙂
Easy, delicious, and light but filling! These have been the perfect quick breakfast or snack for a breastfeeding mama! Amazing flavor, always come out super moist.
I started subbing out fruit for diced pear and they are DE-LISH.
Absolutely! So glad you loved them 🙂
