How To Make Sourdough Oatmeal Breakfast Cups

These sourdough oatmeal breakfast cups are an absolute cinch to make! Just mix them up, top with berries and bake! Perfect for those mornings when you have no time!

Flat lay of ingredients necessary to make sourdough discard oatmeal breakfast cups.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Lightly grease a 12 hole muffin pan with cooking spray or coconut oil.

In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, milk and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. There shouldn't be too much milk left as the oats will absorb most of it.

Now on top of the oats, add your sourdough starter, egg, coconut oil, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine everything. The mixture should be wet and easy to stir.

Evenly divide the mixture among the 12 muffin holes. Divide the frozen berries among the cups and gently push them down into the oat mixture.

Sprinkle each oatmeal cup with chia seeds and a little brown sugar (this is optional but adds to the flavor profile).

Cool on a wire rack.

Flavor Variations

I've used delicious frozen raspberries and blueberries to create these flavorful sourdough breakfast oatmeal cups, but there are so many other flavor combinations you can try!

  • Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Chopped apples or pears (you could use the apple cinnamon mixture from this sourdough apple fritter quick bread recipe).
  • Your favorite jams or preserves - try topping with raspberry, blueberry or strawberry jam.
  • Chopped bananas and shredded coconut.
  • Nuts - I love adding pecans and walnuts to the top of these.

How To Store + Freeze

These sourdough oatmeal breakfast cups can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They also freeze really well. I freeze them individually in ziploc bags for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature overnight for an easy breakfast on the run.

    Maple syrup is in the ingredients but not the instructions. I added it with the milk. Recipe turned out great!

    Maple syrup is in the ingredients but not mentioned in the instructions. I added it with the milk. Recipe turned out great! Will definitely be making it again.

    I made this for picky kids and it was a hit! I ran out of mixed berries so just used blueberries and I added a hint of nutmeg. Also, I had the 'hearty' rolled oats which are slightly thicker than 'rolled oats' but they turned out great! Thank you for a lovely recipe!

  4. I love this recipe, but where does the syrup get used. It’s in the ingredient list, but not in the recipe. I am assuming it’s with the oats.

    Thank you

    1. Baking with a scale is so much easier, not to mention more accurate 🙂 I promise once you switch to a scale, you'll wonder why you didn't do it before 🙂 You can read more about the benefits of weighing your ingredients here 🙂
