Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries
This easy baked oatmeal is delicious and healthy all in one. Made with 6 simple ingredients, it's perfect for family breakfast, brunch, snack, or even dessert. It has a wonderful texture combined with juicy blueberries and cacao that make it phenomenal.
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup (120 g) rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk, (soy, oat, almond, cashew)
- 1 large (140 g) banana
- ½ cup (80 g) regular pitted dates
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1 cup (115 g) frozen blueberries
- 1 handful nuts or seeds, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Put the plant-based milk, banana, dates, and cacao powder in a blender for several minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Meanwhile, place the oats in a square baking dish (mine measures 20 x 20 cm (8" x 8").
- Pour the blended mixture over the oats and stir with a spoon to combine well.
- After that, spread the blueberries on top and sprinkle with some chopped nuts/seeds.
- Bake for 25 mins. Let it cool and set for at least 15 mins in the pan. Serve right away or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Any dairy-free milk is fine, e.g. soy, oat, almond, cashew, etc. I usually use whatever I have on hand.
- I used frozen blueberries. You don't need to thaw them. If you have fresh ones they are also fine.
- You can sprinkle chopped walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews on top. For a nut-free version use pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, or any other seeds of choice.
- You can add dairy-free chocolate chips before baking for more chocolate flavor.
