Make-Ahead Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
BySarah Axtell, ND •May 20, 2019

This Make-Ahead Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is a breakfast item I’ve been making on Sundays in preparation for a busy week. It tastes reminiscent of a blueberry muffin…but thanks to the flax and minimal sweetener, it won’t make you crash like a traditional sugar-laden muffin. And thanks to the blueberries, your memory will be sharp!
I kept this particular recipe rather simple to appeal to kids. Feel free to get more creative by throwing in hemp seeds, walnuts, collagen, maca powder and/or nut butters.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 egg, whisked
- 2 TBSP coconut oil, melted
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Optional toppings: 1/4 cup walnuts, 2 TBSP maca powder, 1/4 cup hemp seeds.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and flax.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the milk, maple syrup, whisked egg, vanilla, and coconut oil. Whisk until blended.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the berries and any other toppings of your choice.

This can be stored covered in the fridge for 4-5 days.
