Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats use gluten-free oats, if necessary
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup*
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Optional Toppings:

  • Additional fresh blueberries
  • Drizzle of almond butter
  • Sliced almonds**

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 7x11 inch rectangular baking dish.
  • Combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
  • Next, add milk, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and almond butter. Stir to combine.
  • Fold the blueberries into the mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the oatmeal mixture into the greased baking dish and distribute evenly with a spatula.
  • Place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • To serve, top with a drizzle of almond butter, fresh blueberries and sliced almonds, if desired.

Notes

  • Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for at least 15-20 minute before cutting it and removing it from the pan to give it a chance to firm up.
  • If using frozen blueberries, add them from a frozen state (not a thawed state) to prevent them from releasing too much moisture into the baked oatmeal.
  • *If you wish to make this recipe with no sugar added, don't add the quarter cup of maple syrup, and instead add one cup total unsweetened applesauce. This is especially recommended if serving to babies under the age of one.
  • **If serving to babies or toddlers, I recommend not adding the sliced almonds on top of the baked oatmeal as they may be a choking hazard.
