Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Description
This blueberry baked oatmeal recipe starts by lightly toasting oats and nuts in melted butter to enhance their flavor. The dry ingredients including cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg are combined with the toasted mixture. Separately, almond milk, maple syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla are whisked together and then mixed with the oats.
Frozen blueberries are placed both beneath and atop the batter to distribute their tart, juicy bursts throughout the dish. Baking until the top becomes golden achieves a textured surface with a moist and tender inside. The result balances sweet maple syrup with the earthiness of oats and spice from cinnamon and nutmeg.
Serving suggestions include pairing with plain or flavored yogurt, extra maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream to add creaminess and contrast. The dish can be adapted for vegan diets using flax eggs and coconut oil. Additional blueberries can be made into jam as a complement.
Nutrition varies with toppings and additions, so adjustments may be needed to fit dietary goals.

Instructions
