Description

This Zucchini Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is a wholesome and delicious breakfast option that combines the natural sweetness of blueberries with the moist texture of grated zucchini. Baked to golden perfection with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, this recipe is both nutritious and comforting—perfect for starting your day with a healthy boost.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Add-ins

  • 1 cup grated zucchini (drained)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, forming the base mixture for the baked oatmeal.
  3. Fold in Zucchini, Blueberries, and Walnuts: Gently fold in the grated zucchini (make sure it’s well-drained to avoid excess moisture), fresh blueberries, and chopped walnuts if using. This adds moisture, texture, and flavor to the oatmeal.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out so it bakes consistently.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set firmly. This ensures a nicely cooked texture without being soggy.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly before serving. For extra flavor, top with additional maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to prevent the oatmeal from becoming too watery.
  • Maple syrup adds natural sweetness but can be adjusted or replaced with honey or a sugar substitute.
  • Walnuts are optional but add a nice crunch and healthy fats.
  • This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated for convenience; reheat before serving.
  • Feel free to substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
