Blueberries & Crème Baked Oatmeal

This yogurt-based baked oatmeal is incredible!  Slightly rich, yet only in flavor, since plain Greek yogurt is high only in protein not in fat or calories.

The result: a wonderfully creamy baked oatmeal. 

Blueberries & Crème Baked Oatmeal – Finding Joy in My Kitchen

Ingredients

• 1/2 (heaping full) Greek Yogurt
• 1/3 C honey
• 3 C oats (quick cook or old fashioned, or both)
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 C milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 C fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

Being by mixing together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.  This includes 3 C oats, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. cinnamon. If you wish to use brown sugar rather than honey, substitute 1/2 C brown sugar for the honey and add along with the dry ingredients. 

Then, add in the heaping 1/2 C Greek yogurt (we used Fage 0%). 

Add in the honey (if you didn’t use brown sugar), 1 C milk, 1 egg, and 1 tsp. vanilla.  Stir to combine.

Toss in the blueberries and stir until well blended. 

Pour into a lightly greased baking dish – we used a 2 quart casserole dish, but an 8x8 or 9x13 baking dish will work too.  Choose the larger pan if you’d like a slightly shorter baking time. 

Place the casserole dish into an oven preheated to 350 degrees.  Cover with a cookie sheet for 20 minutes, then, remove the cover and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes until the center of the baked oatmeal is set. 

Serve warm with additional Greek Yogurt, plain, or my favorite way… 

with milk!
