Baked Blueberry Oatmeal (GF)
Baked Blueberry Oatmeal combines rolled oats, warm spices, and pure maple syrup into a moist, tender breakfast casserole studded with juicy blueberries. The oatmeal bakes to a soft golden top with a comforting flavor from cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. This gluten-free dish can be served warm or at room temperature, with optional pecans adding a toasted crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp table salt
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 TB vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- Optional: 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F with rack on middle position. Grease inside of an 8x8 baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients except for blueberries together until fully combined well.
- Pour into greased baking pan. Scatter the berries evenly over the top, along with pecans, if using.
- Bake 35-40 minutes or until top is golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean - I bake mine for 38 minutes, but each oven is different.
- Let cool at room temp for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temp, with additional maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- You can use any milk type, dairy or non-dairy, to suit your preference.
- If using frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing to keep the texture.
- Substitute or combine blueberries with other berries as desired.
- Make ahead by baking the dish the night before and letting it cool at room temperature; reheat gently before serving.
- For a drier, crisper texture, reduce milk by ½ cup.
