It’s one of my favorite one-dish recipes, and I make it again and again. Plus, it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and so simple to prep!

Let’s bake something bright and delicious together!

👩‍🍳 Method (In Depth)

Preheat the Oven

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This step is important because the oats need consistent heat to bake evenly and turn golden on top. I like to do this first so the oven is nice and hot by the time the mixture is ready to go in.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In your baking dish (I use a medium-sized one, about 8×8 inches), crack in the egg and pour in the 300ml of canned light coconut milk. Using a fork, whisk them together right in the dish until the mixture looks smooth and creamy. This saves you from dirtying another bowl yay for fewer dishes!

Add the Dry Ingredients

Next, sprinkle in your dry ingredients: 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 60 grams of chopped almonds. Then add 150–160 grams of rolled oats, depending on how thick you want your bake. Stir everything gently with a spoon until all the ingredients are well combined.

Fold in the Blueberries

Now comes the star of the show 200 grams of fresh blueberries! Add them last and gently fold them into the mixture so they don’t burst before baking. If your berries are a bit tart, don’t worry. They’ll sweeten up beautifully in the oven.

Bake the Oats

Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top turns golden brown and the oats are set in the center. Try not to open the oven too much while baking so the heat stays even.

Let It Cool Before Serving

This is a key step that many people skip! Once the oats are done baking, let them cool for at least 10 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes it easier to slice or scoop. If you cut into them too early, the texture may be too soft or mushy.

Serve and Enjoy!

Now it’s time to dig in. I love topping my baked oats with a drizzle of maple syrup or a big spoon of coconut or Greek yogurt. You can also enjoy it plain if your blueberries are sweet enough on their own.

🛠 Necessary Tools

• 1 medium baking dish (I use 8×8 inch)
• 1 fork (for whisking)
• Measuring spoons
• Mixing spoon

🍽 Serving Suggestions

• Add a spoonful of coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt on top.
• Drizzle with a bit of maple syrup or honey if your berries aren’t super sweet.
• Pair with a warm mug of tea or coffee.
• Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy them cold or reheated the next day!

🤓 Fun Fact

Did you know that blueberries caramelize when baked? That means their natural sugars bubble up and turn into a sweet, jammy bite without needing any added sugar at all!
