Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free if desired
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups frozen wild blueberries*
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk any milk works
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup maple syrup honey is a good substitute
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese****
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch or similar sized baking dish with nonstick spray. Use a smaller dish if you prefer thicker oatmeal.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Toss in the frozen wild blueberries, coating them with the oat mixture to prevent them from sinking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in almond milk, beaten eggs, pure vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cottage cheese into the dry ingredients until well combined.
- Transfer and Cover: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake Covered: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Finish Baking Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the oatmeal is set and slightly golden.
- Serve: Serve warm with fresh blueberries and a splash of milk. Optionally add stevia packets for extra sweetness.
Notes
- You can use regular frozen or fresh blueberries instead of wild blueberries but reduce the quantity to 1½ cups.
- Greek yogurt can substitute for cottage cheese for a variation.
- If you prefer thicker baked oatmeal, use a smaller baking dish than 9×13-inch.
