Juicy blueberries burst through a tender oatmeal bake with browned edges. Slice it warm or chill it for breakfasts that reheat without turning gummy.
A shallow baking dish gives Blueberry Baked Oatmeal enough surface area to brown while the oats absorb the milk underneath. Eggs bind the grains into soft squares rather than a loose pot of porridge.
Choose old-fashioned rolled oats, which hold their shape through baking. Frozen blueberries work straight from the freezer; fold them in last so they do not stain all the batter purple.
Method
Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tsp of the butter.
Combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk the milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract and remaining butter in a separate bowl.
Stir the wet mixture into the oats and gently fold in the blueberries. Pour into the dish and spread the fruit evenly.
Bake for until the edges are golden and the center is set with no liquid pooling when gently pressed. Cut into six portions.
