Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C). Butter the inside of a 5x5-inch baking dish with ½ tablespoon of butter, ensuring it’s well-coated to prevent sticking.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the oats, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, ½ tablespoon of melted butter, vanilla, honey, and egg until fully combined.
  • Prepare the Baking Dish: Spread the blueberries evenly across the bottom of the buttered baking dish.
  • Layer the Oats: Sprinkle the dry oat mixture evenly over the blueberries.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour the whisked liquid mixture over the oats and fruit, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.

Notes

    • Essential Formula: The key to single serving baked oatmeal is a simple formula: 1/4 cup of oats, 1/4 cup of liquid, one egg, and about a tablespoon of honey for sweetness.
    • Experiment with Spices: Swap out cinnamon for nutmeg, cardamom, or even allspice to change up the flavor.
    • Milk Options: Use any milk you prefer, from cow’s milk to almond, soy, or coconut milk.
    • Adjust Sweetness: Keep the recipe lightly sweetened, and add toppings like fresh fruit or a dollop of vanilla yogurt to customize the flavor.
    • Fruit Choices: While blueberries are popular, feel free to try sliced bananas, diced strawberries, or chopped apples.
    • Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your baked oatmeal warm, topped with milk, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
 
If doubling this recipe use a 6x8-inch baking dish.
