Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries
Making overnight oats is one of the easiest ways to prep breakfast ahead, but nothing beats a warm bowl of oatmeal. On weekends, when I have a little extra time, this baked oatmeal with blueberries is my go-to. It takes minutes to prep, the oven does the cooking, and the result is a soft, hearty bake with sweet blueberries in every bite.
Why It’s Good For You
This blueberry baked oatmeal has fiber and complex carbs from the oats that keep you fuller for longer, and the blueberries naturally sweeten it and add fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Ingredients
Old-fashioned oats hold out best for baked oatmeal recipes. A little baking powder gives these a lighter texture, and a little salt for flavor. Milk, dairy or non-dairy, is the liquid in which the oats will cook; an egg holds them together, a little butter and vanilla for flavor, and a little honey is optional for a touch of sweetness.
