Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (plus more for topping, optional)
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds for added fiber
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well incorporated and smooth.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekin, leveling the top with a spatula.
- Top with More Blueberries: Optionally, sprinkle extra fresh blueberries on top for added fruitiness and visual appeal.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oats have set into a firm but slightly creamy texture in the center.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the baked oats to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, add a dollop of extra yogurt or drizzle with maple syrup to enhance flavor and creaminess.
Notes
- Use dairy or non-dairy milk based on preference or dietary needs.
- Softened cream cheese blends easier and creates a smoother texture.
- Fresh blueberries are preferred for best flavor, but frozen can be used—do not thaw before mixing.
- Optional chia or flaxseeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, enhancing nutritional value.
- This recipe is easily doubled to serve more people by increasing baking time slightly.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep a creamy center; check with a toothpick for slight moistness.
