Creamy Blueberry Yogurt Oatmeal Bake
This cozy and wholesome dish is the perfect mix of creamy yogurt, hearty oats, and sweet blueberries. It’s ideal for breakfast, meal prep, or even a light dessert. With its soft texture and naturally sweet flavour, this baked oatmeal feels indulgent while still being nourishing and balanced.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 🫐
- Optional: 1 egg (for extra structure)
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and egg if using.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Gently fold in half of the blueberries, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Add the remaining blueberries on top for a beautiful finish. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Once baked, let it cool slightly. For that creamy layered look like in the image, you can spread extra yogurt on top and add a spoonful of blueberry compote or fresh berries before serving.
Servings
Serves: 4–5 portions
Notes
This recipe is very flexible. You can swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or even chopped apples. If you like it sweeter, simply add a bit more honey or maple syrup. The yogurt adds a creamy texture and a slight tang that balances the sweetness perfectly.
Tips
For extra richness, use full-fat yogurt. If you prefer a softer texture, add a bit more milk. Want a crunchy topping? Sprinkle some granola or nuts before baking. This dish can also be made overnight—just refrigerate the mixture and bake fresh in the morning.
