Description
A wholesome and comforting Blueberry Baked Oats recipe featuring rolled oats, ripe banana, and warm chai spice. This naturally sweetened, dairy-free breakfast is blended to a smooth batter and baked until golden, topped with juicy blueberries for a perfect morning treat.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chai spice (or ground cinnamon)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries (or fresh blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature while you prepare the batter.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ripe banana, baking powder, chai spice, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the oats are fully broken down, which usually takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Prepare Baking Dishes: Divide the blended oat mixture evenly between two 10-ounce ramekins or small baking dishes. Spread the batter evenly.
- Add Blueberries: Top each ramekin with the frozen or fresh blueberries, gently pressing them slightly into the batter.
- Bake: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the baked oats are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oats to cool slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- Using fresh blueberries will add a burst of fresh flavor, but frozen blueberries work just as well.
- For a nut-free version, use oat milk or soy milk instead of almond milk.
- Try adding a handful of chopped nuts or seeds on top before baking for an extra crunch.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
