Easy Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Recipe
The best easy baked oatmeal recipe made with fresh blueberries, oats, protein-packed Greek yogurt, and oat milk. So simple and delicious!!
Last week I was so excited to get my copy of The Greek Yogurt Diet in the mail! Written by Dr. Sonali Ruder of The Foodie Physician and Jo Brielyn, co-author of Combat Fat for Kids: The Complete Plan for Family Fitness, Nutrition, and Health, this book is full of useful tips for healthy weight loss and a wonderful collaboration of mouthwatering Greek yogurt recipes, like the inspiration for this breakfast recipe for Blueberry Baked Oatmeal.
I have known Sonali for several years through blogging. She was a frequent contributor to the Fit and Fabulous Fridays recipe link-up that I ran for a while on the blog. I love her story. She’s a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and a chef, completing medical school and culinary school, how cool is that?!! She is truly a woman with many talents. I was really flattered when Sonali asked me to contribute a recipe to the book. You’ll find my Grape Salad on page 94. 🙂
How To Make Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
The recipe that I’m featuring from the book is also from a dear blogging friend, Marsha over at The Better Baker. I love baked oatmeal, so when I was browsing through the recipes and saw this healthy breakfast favorite I knew it was the perfect way to use the fresh blueberries I had in the fridge. It’s delicious and very easy to assemble. Just give yourself time to prepare and bake in the morning. If you’re anything like me, I wake up famished and want to eat right away. Breakfast is usually my biggest meal of the day. Get that engine revved up early!
I’m going to share Marsha’s recipe from the cookbook and then my recipe adaptation using nut milk and a favorite low-sugar sweetener. They are both delicious, so go with the one that fits your dietary preference. The nutrition info in the printable recipe card is for my variation.
Patience is well rewarded when you get to enjoy your warm oatmeal cake. I served mine with a pat of pastured butter, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a drizzle of real maple syrup. A deceivingly nutritious way to start your morning. So good.
Recipe Tips
Make sure the blueberries are ripe and sweet for the best flavor. You can always use frozen thawed berries if they aren’t in season. Also, I usually bake this the night before and just warm it in the morning. Make sure to cool the baked oatmeal completely, cover, and store it in the refrigerator. To reheat, just cover with foil and warm it in the oven at 300 degrees F until just heated through.
You can also switch up the fresh fruit in this recipe. Peaches, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all delicious! I like to go with whatever is fresh and ripe for the season. This oatmeal is so good all year round.
If you like nuts, you could throw in some pecans, walnuts, or almonds, too.
