Equipment

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups milk of choice
  • Juice from one medium lemon
  • zest from one medium lemon

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen

Greek Yogurt Lemon Topping Per Serving

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt plain
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Prep your pan. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9x9 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray for a prepared baking dish.
  • Mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, first mix together the egg and maple syrup thoroughly. This is because citric acid will curdle eggs unless they are protected by the addition of sugar. Then mix in the remaining wet ingredients.
  • Add the dry ingredients. Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the blueberries.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown, center is set and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes, while you make the lemon yogurt topping.
  • Add your high protein topping. This step is optional but I love to add a creamy topping to my baked oats.*

Notes

*Add Greek yogurt lemon topping only when you're ready to eat the lemon blueberry baked oatmeal recipe.  This helps to maintain freshness.
Lower sugar version: If you want to make this oatmeal less sweet, feel free to omit the maple syrup.
Higher protein version: For more protein per serving, feel free to add in a scoop of protein powder. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you obtain the right texture.
