Bake the oatmeal for about 25-35 minutes, depending on what size pan you use. For an 8x8, 25 minutes will be about right. If you use a loaf pan like I mention in the notes, then it will need 30-35 minutes.

Spray a 12-count cupcake pan with non-stick oil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place almond butter in microwave to warm it up and loosen the texture (about 30-45 seconds from room temperature).

Add rolled oats, flax meal, sliced almonds, cinnamon and sea salt to a large bowl and stir until combined.

Add warmed almond butter, milk, and maple syrup to bowl and stir until no dry pockets remain. Mix in blueberries.

Scoop about 1/2 cup of oatmeal mixture into each cavity of prepared cupcake pan. Lightly press mixture into each cavity so that the top of each oatmeal cup is smooth.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until tops are firm when pressed. Allow muffins to cool to room temperature in pan.
