Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Description
This Blueberry Baked Oatmeal uses old fashioned oats mixed with granulated (or brown) sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and chopped almonds for texture. Wet ingredients include eggs, almond milk, melted butter, and almond extract which bind the oats and provide a rich custard-like finish once baked. Fresh blueberries are folded into the batter and sprinkled on top, providing bursts of fruity sweetness throughout.
A topping of sugar, flour, butter, chopped almonds, and oats is mixed to create coarse crumbs which are scattered over the berries before baking, adding a crunchy layer contrasting with the soft, tender oatmeal beneath. Baking at 350°F for 35-40 minutes results in a golden crust with moist interior.
This dish is ideal for a comforting breakfast or brunch, served warm. Almond extract can be swapped for vanilla extract, and almond milk replaced with other milks as preferred. Leftovers store refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheat well with a splash of water to restore moisture.
