Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Fruit
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, plus a few more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the oatmeal evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the old-fashioned oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir until everything is evenly blended.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in 2 cups of fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly throughout the oatmeal batter.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish, pour the oat mixture in, and smooth the top. Scatter a few extra blueberries on top for garnish and additional fruity flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the oatmeal is set and the top is lightly golden.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based butter.
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh are unavailable; no need to thaw before adding.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste preferences.
- Make-ahead option: Prepare the batter the night before and bake in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheat nicely.
