If you're looking for the perfect way to jazz up a typically boring breakfast, then look no further because this recipe is it. Introducing my Easy Lemon Blueberry Baked Oatmeal, a delicious, fluffy, simple twist on the classic oatmeal recipe. By combining rolled oats with just a few simple ingredients and baking it in the oven, it becomes a fluffy, cake-like treat that is anything but boring!
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs or substitute 2 "flax eggs" to make this recipe egg-free
- 1 ⅓ Cup Milk of choice I use almond milk
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Lemon zested and juiced - this is approximately 1/4 cup
- 2 Cups Rolled Oats
- 3 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds optional but highly recommended!
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 ½ Cups Fresh Blueberries
Instructions
- To make this baked oatmeal, start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
- Next, prepare the wet ingredients: add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a bowl and whisk until they're fully combined.
- Next, grease an 8x8 or 9x11 baking dish with oil or butter and set it aside.
- Add all of the dry ingredients to the baking dish: the rolled oats, poppy seeds (if using), cinnamon, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- Pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients and mix until they're fully combined.
- Then, fold in the blueberries.
- Grate additional lemon zest on top of the oat mixture (if desired) and transfer the baking dish to the oven.
- Bake the oatmeal for 32-35 minutes, or until the top has set.
- Once it's done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing it into 8 squares.
- Finally, serve and enjoy!
