Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Bake

This healthy blueberry oatmeal bake is the perfect breakfast to enjoy with family over the weekend and makes an awesome meal prep for the week.

This recipe has become a breakfast staple in our home over the past year. I don’t know what has taken me so long to get it up on the blog. I’m excited for you to try it so here it is.

Healthy blueberry oatmeal bake is simple to make and put together. My 7 year old son can even prepare it for the family on Saturday mornings.

Since everyone is typically home, we make this recipe the same morning we want to enjoy it. However, I know first hand how much of a lifesaver this recipe is when I had my last baby this spring. We made several ahead so we could just unthaw the night before and pop in the oven the next morning. It re-heats very well and keeps the moisture good so the oatmeal doesn’t dry out.

Ingredients you will need:

• Gluten free oats
• Fresh blueberries
• Butter
• Milk
• Maple syrup
• Applesauce
• Eggs
• Baking powder

Yes, just make sure to pat dry any excess water that’s on them so the bake won’t have runny blueberries.
