We all know that eating breakfast is a good way to start your day but when you are caught up in the daily morning scramble to get your kids ready for school and then on to work, breakfast can feel like a challenge. Overnight oats are a popular breakfast idea right now but the texture doesn’t appeal to my son. Here’s a solution: baked blueberry oatmeal!

This baked oatmeal recipe takes the ingredients in overnight oats and bakes them into oatmeal cups that kids (and parents) love! This breakfast is as close as can I get to eating oatmeal cookies for breakfast. Hooray! My sweet tooth rejoices!

You can make this oatmeal breakfast bake the night before or whip the ingredients together in the morning. My favorite option is baking the oatmeal cups in a large batch and freezing them.

Then you can defrost the individual servings overnight and reheat in the oven. Serving a crowd? This baked oats recipe does well in muffin cups or in an 8 by 8 pan. Simply slice into baked oatmeal bars and serve.

Oh, did you say you wished that making a vegan dessert could be so easy too? No problem! With a simple dollop of Cocowhip™ and a topping of fresh blueberries, this breakfast is suddenly a company-worthy dessert! 

What ingredients are in Blueberry Baked Oatmeal?

• Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (gluten free)
• Silk® Oat Yeah™ Non-dairy Oatmilk
• Fresh Blueberries
• Maple Syrup
• Ground Flaxseed
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt

A quick note about flax: The ground flaxseed and a small bit of water combine to make what is called a “flax egg”. In vegan baking we don’t use any animal products so, of course, that means no eggs. A flax seed egg replacer helps to bind the ingredients together in this oatmeal recipe. You simple stir the ground flaxseed and water together, let them sit for 5 minutes, then add to the recipe.

Silk® Oat Yeah™

Silk® Oat Yeah™ is a dairy-free alternative to milk that comes in three options: plain, vanilla, and chocolate. Oatmilk is a creamy, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free beverage that you can use just like milk for everything from drinking straight from the glass to pouring over cereal to baking. 

I love making plant-based drinks like this chocolate peanut butter smoothie with Oat Yeah™.

Oat Yeah™ is part of Silk’s portfolio of beverages including almondmilk, soymilk, cashewmilk, and coconutmilk.  Nearly endless choices! Which is your favorite? All are dairy-free and are made with ingredients that are sourced responsibly. Silk takes pride helping people make progress towards living their best life.

For me that means eating a plant based diet for some of my meals. Baking with oatmilk is a positive step for me and as Silk says, Progress IS Perfection! If starting my day with these lovely, blueberry filled oatmeal cups is my road to perfection than count me in! 

Is this blueberry baked oatmeal vegan, dairy-free, and gluten free?

Vegan: Yes, all ingredients in this recipe are suitable for vegans

Dairy-free: Yes, all ingredients listed are free of dairy. 

Gluten-free: Pay close attention to your oats and buy gluten free oats. Oat Yeah™ is made with ingredients that are naturally gluten free but because there is a small risk of cross-contamination with other gluten-containing ingredients the oatmilk is not certified gluten free. If you require a certified gluten free recipe, simply use Silk Original Almondmilk in place of Oat Yeah™.
