How To Make Oatmeal Taste Good
Before we dive into the blueberry muffin baked oat recipe, I want to discuss a few of the key methods I use to make my oatmeal super flavorful. There are a few simple steps that I follow to make my oatmeal taste incredible. The following are some of my tried and true strategies, many of which I used to make the blueberry muffin oatmeal recipe that I am sharing today.
- Strategy #1 – I like to use fresh or frozen fruit to sweeten my oatmeal. Fresh banana slices, blueberries, frozen cherries, chopped apple, strawberries, etc. taste absolutely delicious in vegan oatmeal bowls. They add a bunch of sweetness and micronutrients to the oats.
- Strategy #2 – I add some sort of nut or seed butter as a topping for my oatmeal. I love to add peanut butter or almond butter to my oatmeal bowl for extra flavor and satiety.
- Strategy #3 – I use some sort of liquid sweetener such as a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Now, this isn’t something I add to every single one of my oatmeal bowls. However, if I want a bit of extra sweetness, I will use this third strategy.
Now that we have covered some quick things to note for this recipe, let’s go ahead and dive into all the ingredients you will need to make this blueberry muffin baked oats recipe a smashing success!
Blueberry Muffin Baked Oatmeal Recipe – Ingredients
- Quick Cooking Oats – The first essential ingredient you will need for this recipe are the quick oats. The quick oats are necessary for any baked oatmeal flavor you want to create. Since we will be blending them up with the other ingredients in this recipe to form a batter, you can easily sub rolled oats if you prefer.
- Blueberries – The blueberries are yet another ingredient required for this recipe. I used frozen wild blueberries because I really enjoy the taste of them. They are smaller than traditional blueberries and they have a really unique, sweet flavor. However, you could easily sub traditional blueberries. If you do use frozen blueberries, make sure to heat them in the microwave, and then rinse and dry them thoroughly before adding them to your batter. That way, you will prevent excess water from getting into your oatmeal batter.
- Baking Powder – This ingredient acts as the key leavening agent for this recipe. It ensures that your baked oats come out nice and fluffy, so make sure that you do not forget it.
- Water – The water is the key source of liquid used to transform the dry mixture into a smooth oatmeal batter.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup is used to create the sweet oat crumb topping for this blueberry muffin baked oatmeal. You can can also drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top of your oatmeal after it bakes for additional sweetness.
- Peanut Butter – The peanut butter adds flavor, richness, and creaminess to this baked oat recipe. You can easily sub another nut or seed butter if desired.
