Can I use a different berry?

Yes, substitute the blueberries with fresh or frozen blackberries, raspberries, or even diced strawberries for a slightly different taste.

What else can I add to my blueberry baked oatmeal?

Feel free to include extra mix-ins, like coconut flakes, dried cranberries, raisins, chia seeds, or chocolate chips. Or, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make the recipe for high-protein baked oats. Add an extra splash of milk to the oat mixture as needed to combine the ingredients.

Can I make this blueberry baked oatmeal recipe in a slow cooker?

I don’t recommend it. The oats aren’t likely to set, and the mixture will crumble and fall apart.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉. Mist a 9×9 or 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine the oats, milk, banana, eggs, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; stir well to combine.
Fold in the almonds and blueberries.
Transfer mixture to the prepared dish. Top with a few additional frozen berries and sliced almonds, if desired.
Bake until the center is set, 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled with desired toppings, such as whipped topping, yogurt, maple syrup, and/or a dash of cinnamon.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave a serving for 30-60 seconds or in the oven preheated to 300 degrees for 3-4 minutes until warm.

Notes

For gluten-free blueberry baked oatmeal, use certified gluten-free oats.

For a dairy-free recipe, use an unsweetened plant-based milk.

For a nut-free oatmeal bake, omit the almonds.

For an egg-free option: Mix 2 tablespoons ground flax meal with 5 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Mix well and let stand 5-10 minutes to thicken before using in place of the eggs in this recipe.

Substitutions

– May use applesauce in place of the mashed banana
– May use melted butter or coconut oil in place of the avocado oil
– May use honey instead of maple syrup
