Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 egg (for a cakier texture)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and the optional egg (if using).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared ramekin or baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the oats are set, lightly golden on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra blueberries or a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired. Enjoy warm!
