Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon table salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Grease: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the oven rack in the middle position. Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Blueberries and Pecans: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Scatter fresh or frozen blueberries over the top, then sprinkle chopped pecans if using, evenly across the surface.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. The recipe recommends baking for about 38 minutes as an ideal time, but ovens may vary.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzling additional maple syrup on top for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Use old fashioned rolled oats for optimal texture; instant or steel-cut oats will change the final consistency.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries work equally well; no need to thaw if frozen.
  • To make it nut-free, simply omit the pecans.
  • Allow the oatmeal to cool slightly before cutting to help it set and hold its shape.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
