Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats for perfect chewy texture)
- 1½ cups milk (any kind, dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adds natural sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for warmth and depth)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (enhances sweetness)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (the star ingredient)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (adds a fresh citrus kick)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (drizzle to enhance sweetness)
- Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, to taste, for crunch)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (to taste, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (to taste, for a fun texture)
- 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes (to taste, for a tropical note)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup rolled oats with 1½ cups milk and stir until fully combined. This forms the base of your ‘Deliciously Blueberry Oat Muffin’ bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir gently to blend the flavors, building that classic muffin taste.
- Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the oat base for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently until the oats are tender and the mixture is thick and creamy. Remove from heat.
- For the blueberry topping, place 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup in a skillet.
- Warm the blueberry topping over low heat for 2–3 minutes until the berries soften and release their juices.
- Spoon the warm oat base into bowls. Top generously with the blueberry topping.
- Finish your ‘Deliciously Blueberry Oat Muffin’ bowl with any optional add-ins like chopped nuts, chia seeds, toasted coconut flakes, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra richness.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a perfect chewy texture; instant oats can become too mushy.
- Start with less maple syrup and adjust after cooking to avoid an overly sweet ‘Deliciously Blueberry Oat Muffin’ bowl.
- Simmer the blueberry topping gently on low heat to soften berries without breaking them down completely.
- Add nuts or seeds after cooking to retain crunch and fresh flavors.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best taste and visual appeal.
- Enjoy the ‘Deliciously Blueberry Oat Muffin’ bowl freshly made while warm for the most comforting experience.
- Store leftover ‘Deliciously Blueberry Oat Muffin’ bowl in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For freezing, portion cooled oat base and blueberry topping separately into freezer-safe containers for up to one month.
- To reheat, thaw overnight if frozen, then warm in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of milk if needed.
