Single Serving Baked Oatmeal

I love to start my day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast! This single serving baked oatmeal is the perfect way for me to do just that.

This baked oatmeal recipe is a healthy and filling breakfast for one made with Greek yogurt, oats and fresh blueberries. It has a cake-like texture and fruity taste. Also, it comes together in one bowl in just 2 minutes.

Single Serving Baked Oatmeal

I am the only one in my family who enjoys baked oatmeal, so I usually make a single serving just for me, and sometimes I double the recipe and store it in the fridge for the rest of the week's breakfasts.

Another thing I like about this recipe is it is so easy to make and highly customizable. I serve this dish with only a few drops of maple syrup for breakfast or snacks.

I tasted this recipe with quick cooking oats, and it was SUPER good, exactly like a dessert.

I prefer to bake my oatmeal with fresh blueberries because their juices infuse into the oatmeal as it bakes, enriching the taste of the baked oatmeal.

The Greek yogurt in this recipe adds moisture to and prevents the oatmeal from getting dry, making it softer, and it also contributes slightly to the flavour of this dish, adding a mild tangy flavor.

Also, I flavoured this baked oatmeal with vanilla extract and lemon zest, which I highly recommend.

Ingredients

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

•  Greek yogurt: You can use milk, non-dairy milk instead or even sour cream, I just prefer yogurt.
•  Vanilla extract: To flavor.
•  Sugar: I like to add ½ white sugar and ½ brown sugar to sweeten my baked oatmeal.

•  Lemon zest: I use just ¼ teaspoon of fresh lemon zest.
•  Eggs

How To Make Baked Oatmeal for one

One: Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F.

Two: In a bowl, mix oats, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, Lemon zest, eggs, sugar and and blueberries (save some blueberries to top with).

Three: Pour the mixture in a medium-sized ovenproof dish or divide the mixture between two small baking plates (as I did).

Four: Spread the rest of the blueberries equally on top of the mixture.

Five: Bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven then serve hot.

Expert Tips!

• Don't use frozen blueberries; I find that using frozen blueberries produces a slightly mushy baked oatmeal, which I don't prefer.
• Don't use steel-cut oats; they do not absorb the wet ingredients quite easily, which badly affects the texture of the recipe.

maple syrup, honey, peanut butter, whipped cream or butter.

Variations

Yes, You can replace blueberries with any of the suggestions below.
