Blueberry Baked Oats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
¾ cup blueberries, frozen are sweeter but fresh work too
02 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (pure is best)
03 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional if you'd like it spiced up
04 -
¼ teaspoon fine salt
05 -
2¼ cups rolled oats
06 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
07 -
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or swap with butter)
08 -
⅓ cup maple syrup
09 -
1¼ cups milk
10 -
2 large eggs
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F. Grab an 8x8 pan, then grease it lightly or fit it with parchment paper so cleanup's a breeze.
02 -
Combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Stir everything together until it's evenly blended.
03 -
Add milk, maple syrup, eggs, oil, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Stir well until it's all one smooth batter. Don't stress if it looks thin!
04 -
Carefully mix ½ cup of the blueberries into the batter. Pour this into the baking pan you prepared earlier. Scatter the last ¼ cup of blueberries on the top.
05 -
Put the pan in the oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes. You’ll see the center firm up by gently touching it. Let it rest a bit in the pan before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Frozen blueberries give extra sweetness, but fresh works fine too.
02 -
It's totally normal for the batter to feel runny—that’s what makes it so soft.
03 -
Butter can be used instead of coconut oil; both will work great.
04 -
Store leftovers in your fridge, so you’ve got quick breakfasts ready all week.
