Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal Muffin Tops

Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal Muffin Tops are filled with plump blueberries, chewy oats, a few crunchy walnuts and are baked until golden brown and delicious.

Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal Muffin Tops are one of my kid’s favorite breakfasts before school.

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe school is starting for us in less than two weeks! Where has the summer gone?!

Are you ready for school to start again? I’m getting ready by going through all of my easy breakfast recipes and snack recipes, so I can make sure my kids have something delicious and filling in their bellies before school (and after school).

These Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal Muffin Tops are like mini baked oatmeals that are portable, not to mention totally adorable!

I baked these in my Wilton Muffin Top Pan  so my kids thought these were cookies and couldn’t wait to grab one.

The heavenly aroma that creeps out of your oven while these bake will surely grab everyone’s attention. But it’s the nutty and rich texture of the muffin, along with the sweet blueberries that will seal the deal.

If you’re not interested in the muffin tops, you can always bake these beauties in a regular muffin time! They’re just as portable, but a little thicker in size, so you won’t get as many servings per batch.

Here are some more great ways to customize this easy breakfast item:

• Use raspberries in place of blueberries
• Swap pecans or sliced almonds for walnuts
• Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warmer flavor

Either way you try these fun little bites, you’re going to love them!

How are you getting ready for back to school season?
