Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Fruit
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature by the time the batter is ready.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix rolled oats, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the texture light.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them for perfectly juicy bursts in the baked oatmeal.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly before slicing or scooping to serve warm and enjoy your nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or another liquid sweetener of your choice.
- Use any milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Frozen blueberries work well, just do not thaw them before folding in to prevent color bleeding.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling nuts or seeds on top before baking.
- Baked oatmeal can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick breakfast throughout the week.
