  • Oats: A great source of dietary fibre, particularly beta-glucan, which helps lower cholesterol levels and stabilize blood sugar. Oats are also rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
  • Coconut Oil: Contains healthy fats that can boost energy and support brain health. It’s also known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Yoghurt: Packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics, yoghurt helps with digestion, and bone health, and provides a good amount of protein.

Tips to Make Baked Blueberry Oatmeal:

  • Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both work well. If using frozen, no need to thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Customize Your Sweetener: Feel free to use your preferred sweetener, whether it’s sugar, honey, or a low-calorie alternative like erythritol (which is what I’m using in this recipe).
  • Add a Crunch: Top the oatmeal with flaked almonds or your favourite nuts for a delightful crunch.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Can I use a different type of yoghurt?

Yes, you can use any yoghurt you like, whether it’s Greek, dairy-free, or regular yoghurt. Just make sure it’s not too watery.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

I haven’t tried it yet, but to make this recipe vegan you could use a plant-based alternative for yoghurt, use a flax or chia egg in place of the eggs, and replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.

How can I make this gluten-free?

Ensure that the oats you use are certified gluten-free.

Can I freeze the baked oatmeal?

I haven’t tried, but if you need to freeze it, I would suggest cutting it into squares and freeze them individually.

What can I use instead of coconut oil?

You can use any other oil or melted butter as a substitute for coconut oil.
