Ingredients

Ingredients:

For the Oatmeal:

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg, beaten (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, thaw slightly and blot dry)

For the Streusel Topping:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour/almond meal for gluten-free option)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil (or melted butter)

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oat Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine oats, almond milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat Oven: The next morning, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add beaten egg and baking powder to the soaked oats. Stir until combined. Gently fold in blueberries. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
  4. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in melted coconut oil until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle streusel topping over oat mixture. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and oatmeal is set. If streusel browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  6. Serve: Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, or refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
