My Thoughts on this Recipe
This Blueberry Muffin Baked Oats recipe from Lauren’s Lovely Kitchen is perfect for when you have a craving for a big ol’ blueberry muffin, but you don’t particularly want to indulge. It’s absolutely heavenly and a cross between a cake-like texture and oatmeal.
Ingredients
The main ingredients are blueberries, oats, banana, milk, peanut butter and maple syrup. View her original recipe for a single ramekin here.
Recommendations
When I made this, I had fresh blueberries, so I elected to use those rather than frozen, and I thought they worked great! I also didn’t have almond butter, so I substituted peanut butter, and I loved it! I have made them now several times with peanut butter, and I don’t think I will change it, but I’m sure almond butter would be delicious too.
When I took the first bite, I was not sure I liked it. It is not very sweet, which in a way is kind of nice and grew on me. That said, I have since altered the maple syrup from 1 teaspoon to 2 teaspoons per ramekin.
Since the original recipe was for a single portion, I have made the changes I make to the recipe and placed the measurements for four ramekins below. You can halve the recipe for two, if you’d like.
Future Ideas/Variations
Lauren has another recipe for Apple Baked Oats, that I’m sure is delicious. I also saw she had one for Chocolate Chip Baked Oats, and I would also be curious to try a carrot cake version, strawberry, and perhaps a banana walnut. I think once you have the basic recipe, it should be easy to mix it up, and I will be experimenting with it!
Final thoughts
This is a very yummy recipe that is different from your average breakfasts! Try it this weekend!
