Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Blueberry Baked Oatmeal combines rolled oats, mashed ripe bananas, vanilla, and almond milk to create a hearty, tender breakfast bake with a soft set center and a lightly golden top. Fresh or frozen blueberries nestled inside and scattered on top offer bursts of juiciness, balancing the mild sweetness from maple syrup and bananas. This dish holds well in the refrigerator and can be reheated for an easy make-ahead meal that pairs well with nut butter or additional maple syrup for extra richness.
