These crispy one-pot baked oatmeal cups feature a golden Parmesan crust and a hearty, savory flavor perfect for brunch, snacks, or family gatherings. Easy to make with simple ingredients and a one-pot method.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (180g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 100g)
  • 1¾ cups milk (420 ml) – whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk as substitutes
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chopped chives or parsley) – optional
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease the muffin cups with butter or oil, especially if using metal tins.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, melted butter, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. If using fresh herbs, fold them in now.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese generously over the tops of each cup.
  9. Bake for 25-28 minutes until golden-brown on top and firm to the touch. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  11. Run a butter knife around the edges to loosen, then gently pop the oatmeal cups out.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

[‘Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best crispy crust.’, ‘Old-fashioned rolled oats provide the best texture; avoid quick or steel-cut oats.’, ‘Letting the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking can improve texture.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs and milk for smooth mixing and even baking.’, ‘Silicone muffin molds ease removal and cleanup but may produce less crispy edges than metal pans.’, ‘If cups are too soft inside, bake a few more minutes watching carefully to avoid burning.’, ‘For dairy-free, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and use plant-based milk and vegan butter.’, ‘For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats.’]
