Servings: 9 servings

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Silicone spatula
  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½-¾ cup milk of choice ½ cup for firmer oatmeal, ¾ for less-firm oatmeal
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup melted butter or refined coconut oil, plus more to grease baking dish
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries fresh, or thawed & drained if frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease baking dish with butter or coconut oil. Set dish aside.
  • Add oats, maple syrup, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • When oatmeal mixture is just combined, add blueberries and gently fold blueberries into oatmeal mixture, being careful not to overstir.
  • Transfer mixture into 9x13 baking dish. Gently spread oatmeal mixture out across bottom of baking dish in one even layer, making sure to press mixture into corners of dish.
  • Place baking dish in preheated oven. Bake oatmeal mixture 30 minutes, then check doneness. Continue baking as needed, checking doneness every 1 to 2 minutes, until top of baked oatmeal is golden brown and crisp. Bake time shouldn't exceed 45 minutes total, but times will vary from one kitchen to another.
  • When oatmeal is fully baked, carefully remove baking dish from oven. Let cool slightly, then slice baked oatmeal into 9 equally-sized bars. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries without defrosting, increase cook time by 5 minutes or so. Frozen blueberries will release moisture that may affect the texture of the baked oatmeal.
  • Leftovers: Let baked oatmeal cool completely, then transfer leftover bars to airtight container. Refrigerate up to 5 days. Reheat individual bars in microwave before serving, or serve chilled.
