This easy, healthy blueberry baked oatmeal is warm, hearty, slightly spiced, and bursting with blueberry flavor throughout. I love to prep it ahead of time and enjoy breakfast all week long! My kids love it, too.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups rolled oats certified gluten-free if needed
  • 2 1/4 cups dairy-free milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 servings vanilla or plain protein powder optional
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a square, 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir until combined.
    3 cups rolled oats, 2 1/4 cups dairy-free milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3-4 servings vanilla or plain protein powder
  • Fold in the blueberries, reserving about 1/2 cup to place on top, and stir well to combine.
    1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan and top with the reserved blueberries. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set. Check it at the 30-minute market and cover it with foil if the edges start to look too brown.
  • Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes then cut it into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature with nut butter, greek yogurt for protein, chopped nuts, or more fresh fruit.

Notes

Milk. I recommend unsweetened plant-based milk like almond milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk. You can also use cow's milk.
Protein powder. Mix in 2-3 servings of your favorite plain or vanilla protein powder. You will need up to ⅓ cup more milk. I like Be Well by Kelly protein.
Frozen Blueberries. Fresh and frozen blueberries work. Do not thaw frozen blueberries.
More Fiber. Add a few tablespoons of chia seeds or acacia fiber.
Oatmeal Cups: Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray. Separate the batter evenly into the cups and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until set in the middle.
More Fruit. Drop in some banana slices, other berries, or chocolate chips to complement your blueberries and add a touch of sweetness. 
Toppings. Slather a dollop of Greek yogurt, almond butter, or peanut butter on top for extra protein and flavor.
To Store. Store leftovers  in an airtight container or in individual bags or containers for up to 5 days.
To Freeze. Allow to cool completely then place in an even layer on a sheet pan to freeze. Once solid, transfer to a freezer bag or storage container to save space. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm it in the microwave or toaster oven.
