Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free if desired
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch or similar size baking dish with nonstick spray. For thicker oatmeal, use a smaller baking dish.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Toss in frozen wild blueberries to coat them with the oat mixture, which prevents sinking.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in almond milk, beaten eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cottage cheese until well combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake Covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
- Finish Baking Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then serve with fresh blueberries and a splash of milk. Optional: add stevia for extra sweetness if desired.
Notes
- Frozen wild blueberries can be substituted with regular frozen or fresh blueberries; reduce quantity to 1½ cups if using larger berries.
- Greek yogurt may be used as a substitute for cottage cheese if preferred.
- Adjust baking dish size if you want thicker oatmeal; a smaller dish works best.
- This recipe is naturally mildly sweet; adjust sweetness to taste by adding stevia or extra maple syrup.
