Description

Delicious and nutritious blueberry baked oatmeal, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale

⅔ cup roughly chopped pecans
2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt (or ½ teaspoon regular table salt)
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ¾ cups milk of choice (almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk or cow’s milk all work)
⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
2 large eggs or flax eggs
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or coconut oil, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces or 1 pint fresh or frozen blueberries (or 2 ½ cups of your preferred berry/fruit, chopped into ½” pieces if necessary), divided
2 teaspoons raw sugar (optional)
Optional toppings: plain/vanilla yogurt or whipped cream, additional maple syrup or honey for drizzling, and/or additional fresh fruit

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
Pour the nuts onto a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 4 to 5 minutes, until fragrant.
In a medium bowl, combine oats, toasted nuts, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine.
In a smaller bowl, combine milk, maple syrup or honey, egg, half of the butter or coconut oil, and vanilla. Whisk until blended.
Reserve about ½ cup of berries for topping. Arrange remaining berries evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
Cover the fruit with the dry oat mixture, then drizzle the wet ingredients over the oats. Wiggle the baking dish to ensure milk moves down through the oats.
Gently pat down any dry oats resting on top. Scatter remaining berries across the top and sprinkle with raw sugar if desired.
Bake for 42 to 45 minutes (45 to 50 minutes if using frozen berries), until the top is golden.
Let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle remaining melted butter on top before serving.
