Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 egg (or 1 chia or flax egg* for vegan)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter (vegan butter, or coconut oil, melted)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: Additional blueberries for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep. To start, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2 quart baking dish (like an 8x8 or 9x9" pan).
  • Combine Dry Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Add Wet Ingredients. Next, pour in milk, syrup, egg or chia egg, melted butter/oil, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  • Stir In Blueberries. Fold in 1 cup blueberries with a spatula.
  • Bake. Pour oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish. If desired, you can sprinkle the oatmeal with a few more blueberries. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal has plumped and the top is golden brown.
  • Serve & Store. Remove from oven and let stand about 5 minutes before scooping or slicing. Serve slices with a drizzle of milk or syrup and more blueberries, or add a drizzle of nut butter, a dollop of yogurt, some sliced bananas or chopped nuts! Store leftovers covered in the pan (or in an airtight container) in the fridge 3-4 days. 

Notes

  • *TO MAKE A FLAX OR CHIA "EGG": In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp. chia seeds or ground flax with 3 Tbsp. water and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit 5 minutes or so to gel and thicken, then add to your recipe as usual.
  • Blueberries. Fresh blueberries OR frozen blueberries can be used here! Just know that frozen berries tend to "bleed" their color and juice so the end result won't be quite as neat and tidy looking. It's purely cosmetic, though--the flavor will be spot on!
  • Gluten-Free Rolled Oats. I've found that different brands of gluten-free oats can behave differently in this recipe. (Thicker cut oats absorb less liquid) I have the best results with Trader Joe's gluten-free rolled oats or Bob's Red Mill gluten-free rolled oats. Do NOT use quick oats or steel-cut oats for this recipe.
