Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these Breakfast Blueberry Oatmeal Cakes ahead of time, and how should I store them?
Yes, these oatmeal cakes are perfect for making ahead! Once cooled, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap individual cakes in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to eat, simply reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until warmed through.
What substitutions can I make if I don’t have all the ingredients on hand?
Absolutely! You can substitute almond milk or coconut milk for dairy milk in a 1:1 ratio to make the recipe dairy-free. If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use melted butter in the same amount (2 tablespoons). Honey can be used in place of maple syrup, also in a 1:1 ratio. For extra protein, add one scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder. If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used without thawing; just add them directly to the batter.
How do I know when the Breakfast Blueberry Oatmeal Cakes are perfectly cooked?
The oatmeal cakes are done when they are golden brown on top and set in the center. You can gently press the top; if it springs back, they’re likely cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The baking time is usually between 20-25 minutes, but ovens vary, so keep an eye on them.
Can I double or triple this recipe to make a larger batch?
Yes, you can easily scale this recipe up! When doubling the recipe, use two muffin tins or bake in batches. For a tripled recipe, you’ll likely need three muffin tins or the equivalent. Increase the baking time slightly, adding a few minutes at a time, and check for doneness as described above. Be sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the blueberries and other ingredients.
What are the nutritional benefits of these Breakfast Blueberry Oatmeal Cakes?
These oatmeal cakes are packed with nutritional goodness! The oats provide fiber for sustained energy and digestive health. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, offering numerous health benefits. The recipe is also a good source of complex carbohydrates, making it a filling and nutritious breakfast option. Adding protein powder will further increase the protein content.
