Lemon Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Description
Lemon Blueberry Baked Oatmeal mixes old-fashioned oats, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and frozen blueberries into a base enriched with egg, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and fresh lemon juice and zest. The blueberry component can be sweetened prior to baking to balance tartness. Cream cheese is softened and stirred with sugar before being dolloped and swirled through the oat mixture to introduce a creamy texture and flavor contrast.
Baked in a 13"x9" pan at 350°F until set, the oatmeal forms a moist yet structured dish with tender oats and bursts of blueberries throughout. The lemon zest on top highlights the citrus notes and freshens the palate.
This baked oatmeal is prepared in six servings, convenient for slicing into portions for easy reheating. It can be enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack and is suited to those seeking a warm, flavorful oat dish with a hint of fruit and creaminess.

Instructions
For the Baked Oatmeal
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Measure out your berries. If you would like a sweeter end product, sprinkle a teaspoon of splenda or sugar over the top of the blueberries and allow them to macerate. It may help speed up the process if you thaw them in the microwave first.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, protein powder, and baking powder.
- Add in the egg whites, milk, syrup, 1 tbsp of melted butter, lemon juice, and the berries.
- Spray a 13"x9" pan with oil and add the oat mixture.
- Mix together the cream cheese and sugar. You can microwave it for a bit to help it soften. Put a few spoonfuls of the cream cheese around your pan and swirl it around as best as you can.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Plating
- This recipe makes 6 servings. Top with lemon zest. Cut the oatmeal into 6 equal pieces.
