About the Recipe

This baked oatmeal recipe is my favorite breakfast of the moment. I love that it can serve a group for a special breakfast or brunch, but it’s also the kind of thing that you can make on a weekend and reheat on busy mornings throughout the week.

This blueberry baked oatmeal is made with healthy ingredients—think fresh fruit, almond butter, and whole rolled oats—but it tastes like a treat. The top is toasty and nutty, featuring a layer of pecans and coconut flakes that crisp up beautifully in the oven. The middle, on the other hand, stays soft and creamy, filling each bite with an amazing mix of textures. It’s lightly sweet, warmly spiced, and studded with bursty blueberries throughout. Go ahead, get a second slice.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 ripe banana, mashed (½ cup)

  • 1.5 cup unsweetened almond milk, at room temperature

  • 0.38 cup (or 6 tablespoons) smooth almond (or peanut) butter

  • 0.38 cup (or 6 tablespoons) maple syrup

  • 0.38 cup (or 6 tablespoons) melted butter or coconut oil

  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1.5 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 0.75 teaspoon sea salt

  • 3 cups whole rolled oats

  • 1.5 cup chopped pecans

  • 1.5 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, for topping

  • 3 tablespoons coconut flakes, for topping

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch or similar baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, almond milk, almond (or peanut) butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Add the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and whisk again.

  3. Fold in the oats, ¾ cup of the pecans, and ½ cup of the blueberries. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.

  4. Top with the remaining ½ cup blueberries, the remaining ¼ cup pecans, the brown sugar, and coconut flakes.

  5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is crisp and the middle is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
