Healthy mornings start with this blueberry oatmeal bake!

Fiber-packed and full of natural sweetness, THIS oatmeal bake won’t disappoint.

Blueberry Flavor

The blueberry to oat ratio is almost a 1-to-1 match, so this oatmeal bake is super fruity, soft and creamy. It’s the kind of taste and texture you just can’t get from stovetop oats.

Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used in this oatmeal bake. The best are wild blueberries which are the perfect size to bake with and pack more anti-oxidants than commercial blueberries.

They distribute evenly guaranteeing a blueberry with every bite and are super sweet. I buy a HUGE bag of frozen wild blueberries and use them in these vanilla blueberry muffins and in this blueberry coffee cake.

Use fresh or frozen, big or small – all blueberries are welcome.

Coconut Flavor

To enhance the coconut flavor, there is a 1/2 tsp of coconut extract. Coconut extract is a great baking extract to have on hand if you LOVE coconut!

There’s also a TON of shredded coconut AND because I love the look of the big toasted pieces of coconut chips, they are always added to the top. What can I say, I love coconut! My wedding cake was covered in it!

This vegan baked oatmeal is also virtually OIL-FREE. There is no need to add extra oil to oatmeal. Oat milk typically already has oil mixed into it as an emulsifier, so you already have added oils by using oat milk in this recipe.

Why is this oatmeal bake so delicious? There’s no big secret. It’s just wholesome ingredients working together.

How to Make Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

This recipe is based off a favorite blueberry banana oatmeal bake in Supernatural Everyday. In this version, it’s made dairy-free. Butter is replaced with coconut oil, ground flax seed for the egg to add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids and coconut extract to boost that blueberry coconut flavor.
