Blueberry Pie Baked Oatmeal
Warm blueberry pie has always been one of my favorite desserts, and I’ve been especially craving it lately with it being summertime. Unfortunately, it’s made with processed carbs, tons of sugar and unhealthy fats (which obviously I’m not a fan of). My healthy blueberry baked oatmeal serves as the perfect substitution when I’m craving blueberry pie!
The slow-baked approach to oatmeal is ideal since the fruit caramelizes and helps breakfast disguise as a delicious dessert. I also love to add a spoonful of peanut, almond or cashew butter on top for an even creamier, richer consistency – but feel free to add whatever you like!
The oatmeal is made with simple, healthy ingredients such as oats, cinnamon, vanilla, banana, blueberries, baking powder and almond milk. I suggest making a big batch on a Sunday and having leftovers for a quick and easy breakfast throughout the week.

Notes
I didn’t add any maple syrup, as I found it to be sweet enough with the mashed banana and blueberries in the mixture. However, if you like it sweeter add maple syrup to your liking.
I used this ramekin to bake the oats in:
This sounds like heaven!!! Can’t wait to try it, especially topped with some warm almond butter<3
Yessss let me know how it comes out!! It’s the BEST with the warm almond butter mixed in 🙂
