Ingredients: 6 cups old fashioned oats; 4 tsp baking powder; 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt; 1 tsp cinnamon; 1/2 tsp nutmeg; dried fruits or nuts-optional; 4 eggs; 2 cups milk; 1/2 cup coconut oil; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 1/2 cup honey; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Baked blueberry oatmeal is one of my go-to comfort foods. It’s so delicious. I serve it with fresh cream drizzled on top. This stuff will make your house smell amazing as it bakes, and with its sweet and slightly crunchy outside and the softer inside it pretty much destroys regular old fashioned mushy oatmeal.

Adding fruit to oatmeal always fancies it up and gives that bit of tart to balance out the sweetness. It is so good! I beg you to try this recipe at your next brunch or breakfast gathering. You will gather oooh’s and ahhhh’s when they try baked blueberry oatmeal for the first time. It’s heavenly.

You just need to make it once, please. But I warn you, making it once may turn into a weekly occurrence. It could be dangerous.

Baked Blueberry Oatmeal

Ingredients:

6 cups old fashioned oats
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt (buy my favorite kind on Amazon here)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
dried fruits or nuts-optional
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup coconut oil (buy quality oils here)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Method:

In a large bowl mix oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Optional- Add in dried fruits and nuts. Set aside.

In a separate bowl mix the eggs, milk, melted coconut oil (melt it in the microwave), brown sugar, honey, and vanilla extract.

The coconut oil with harden up when it hits the wet ingredients. It should look a little like this. Fear not… this is normal.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.

Gently stir in blueberries.

Pour into a greased 2 qt. baking dish or 8×8 baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven. Serve hot with fresh cream or milk.

Are you drooling yet? This tastes just as heavenly as it looks. I hope it gives you and yours some happiness, just as it has ours. Enjoy!

* This recipe is very forgiving. You can add in nuts, dried fruit or other fresh or frozen fruits of your choosing. We love blueberries and so that’s what we make most often. I have also left out the nutmeg and just increased the cinnamon. One time I only had 1/4 cup of honey so I did 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup molasses. It was amazing. Get creative, who knows what amazing concoction you will discover.
