Clean Baked Blueberry Oatmeal

Breakfast is my hardest meal of the day to eat. Of course breakfast is the most important meal of the day to eat. It get's your body fueled for the day ahead. If you don't eat breakfast your blood sugar drops and then you crave sugar the rest of the day.



For breakfast I need convenience. I do a lot of smoothies with greek yogurt, but sometimes I need to switch it up a bit.

This baked blueberry oatmeal is good because I can make it on Sunday night and we can eat on it for days. It tastes like a dessert too!!

I got the original recipe from the blog So, How's It Taste? and really liked it, but it wasn't fully clean. It was almost there thought so I didn't have to change much!


Clean Baked Blueberry Oatmeal
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, divided
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup pure maple syrup 
1 cup almond milk (or coconut and soy)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. melted coconut oil1 tsp. 
100% pure organic vanilla extract (no sugar)
2-3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
1 cup blueberries frozen or fresh

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix the oats, half of the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the syrup, milk, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla.
Spread the sliced bananas in a single layer over the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half of the berries. Sprinkle the dry oat mixture over the fruit in an even layer. Pour the liquid ingredients evenly over the oats.
Sprinkle the remaining nuts and berries over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is browned and the oats have set. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
