Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup blueberries
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 banana, mashed
2 Tbsp flaxseed
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 pinch salt
Optional
walnuts
Greek yogurt
extra berries
Directions
Step 1 – Build the Base Like Actual Batter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a baking dish. In a large bowl combine oats, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, almond milk, mashed banana, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. (The banana naturally sweetens everything while also helping the bake stay soft instead of dry.)
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before baking so the oats begin absorbing moisture. (That tiny pause helps the texture feel way more cohesive later.)
Step 2 – Fold in the Blueberries Carefully
Gently fold the blueberries into the mixture without smashing them too aggressively. You want pockets of blueberry throughout the bake instead of turning the whole thing purple immediately. (Whole berries create better texture and little bursts of sweetness in each bite.)
If using walnuts, fold some into the batter now and save a few for the top.
Step 3 – Bake Until Golden
Pour the mixture into the baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 35–40 minutes until the center feels set and the top develops light golden edges. (That slight golden color gives the bake a toasted flavor that makes it feel way more comforting.)
The middle should feel soft but not wet.
Step 4 – Let It Cool Slightly
Allow the bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Cutting too early can cause everything to fall apart while it’s still setting internally. (Patience here makes the final texture much cleaner.)
Serve warm with Greek yogurt or extra berries if desired.
Step 5 – Meal Prep Without the Sadness
This recipe works extremely well for meal prep because it reheats easily throughout the week. You can warm slices in the microwave or oven and rotate toppings to keep breakfast feeling less repetitive. (Healthy eating gets easier once future meals are already waiting for you.)
