Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free if desired
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (any milk works)
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (honey is a good substitute)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and spray a 9×13-inch or similar-sized baking dish with nonstick spray. For thicker oatmeal, choose a smaller baking dish.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Toss in the frozen wild blueberries, ensuring they are coated with the oat mixture to prevent them from sinking.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the almond milk, beaten eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cottage cheese until well combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake Covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the top is set and golden.
- Serve: Serve warm with fresh blueberries and a splash of milk. Add stevia or your preferred sweetener if desired.
Notes
- Use wild blueberries for maximum flavor and texture, but regular frozen or fresh blueberries (1 ½ cups) work well too.
- Greek yogurt can substitute cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
- Depending on the baking dish size, thickness of the oatmeal might vary; adjust the dish size to your preference.
