Ingredients

  • 12 oz blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats or use more rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom optional
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup grade A maple syrup
  • 1/2 lemon juice of, approximately 1/2 tbsp per 1/2 of lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, quick oats, flax seed, cinnamon, cardamom, baking powder, and salt to a 9×13” baking dish and mix well.
  • Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and thawed blueberries and mix again. Top the oatmeal with additional fresh blueberries, if desired.
  • Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top of the oatmeal is golden (Note: if you want to serve a runnier oatmeal, bake for only 20 to 25 minutes).
  • Serve & Store: Serve immediately for a softer oatmeal, or let the oatmeal cool in the baking dish, then slice and serve into bars. Serve as-is or with a drizzle of nut butter and/or milk. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or pre-portion the oatmeal and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Fresh vs Frozen Blueberries: This recipe tastes delicious with both fresh and frozen blueberries – frozen berries are usually more cost effective, so I tend to use those. If using frozen berries let them fully thaw in the bag and do not drain the liquid.
  • Maple Syrup: Swap the maple syrup for equal parts cane sugar, agave, or brown sugar. This recipe is not very sweet as-is, but feel free to add more or less sweetener to your personal preference.
  • Walnuts: Swap the walnuts for pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option!
  • Protein Powder: Add 1-2 scoops of vanilla protein powder to this recipe for a protein boost! If doing this, increase the liquid to 3 cups and omit the sweetener.
