Ingredients

Baked Oatmeal Base

  • 1 cup rolled oats for chewy texture
  • 1 cup milk dairy or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess
  • 1 large egg helps the oatmeal set
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional) vanilla flavor recommended
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey for sweetening
  • 1 tsp baking powder for lift
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon adds flavor
  • 1 pinch salt enhances flavor
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for bakery-like taste

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Lightly grease a small baking dish (like an 8x8 pan).
  • In a bowl, stir together oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Fold in most of the blueberries.
  • Pour the mixture into the dish, then sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top.

Baking

  • Bake for about 22 to 28 minutes, until the edges look set and the center is just barely set.
  • Let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.

Notes

This oatmeal reheats well and is versatile for substitutions. Add other types of fruit, nuts, or spices as desired.
