Blueberry baked oats are a delicious and healthy breakfast option that's easy to prepare. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 egg (or a flax egg for a vegan option)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional: A handful of chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish (a 6-inch square dish works well).
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.
Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries (and nuts/seeds if using).
Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy it warm, or let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It also freezes well if you want to make a big batch.Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite fruits, spices, or toppings. Enjoy your blueberry baked oats!
