Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (almond, dairy, or oat milk all work great)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey/sugar, to taste)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Zest of 1 small lemon
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe dish or ramekin (about 8-10 oz).
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Add the milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them first.
- Pour the oat mixture into your prepared dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the oats are set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra blueberries or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
