THE DISH:
baked blueberry & banana oatmeal | serves 6
THE STUFF:
2 cups oats
1/4 cup oat or almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1 very ripe banana
1/3 cup dairy-free yogurt (plain or vanilla)
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
2 Tbsp nut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups almond milk
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
powdered sugar, optional
THE HOW-TO:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease/spray a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
In one mixing bowl: stir together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
In a second mixing bowl: add the banana and mash with a fork. Add the yogurt, eggs, sugar, coconut oil, nut butter and vanilla and whisk/beat until nut butter is broken up a bit. Add the almond milk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir to combine. Stir in the blueberries and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake until set, about 40-50 minutes. Let cool slightly, cut into squares and serve with syrup and perfectly placed blueberries and powdered sugar.
THE EXTRA:
• this recipe is super adaptable. don’t like bananas? (weirdo) - leave it out! Also, it’s ok to swap for other berries: raspberries, blackberries or strawberries or even chopped nectarines or peaches.
• if you don’t need/want to make this GF, you can absolutely use AP flour.
• if you don’t care if this is dairy free, no problem to use regular Greek yogurt and butter in place of coconut oil.
• make ahead: ✅ Just rewarm individual squares in the microwave.
