Invite your friends over for this vegan lemon blueberry baked oatmeal that is perfect for spring! Serve with almond milk or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 5 tablespoons warm water
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk (I used plain, unsweetened soy milk)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
- Juice from 1 lemon (~2 tablespoons)
- Zest from 1 lemon (~1 tablespoon)
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats (not quick cooking)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Other Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- To serve: blueberries, almond butter, soy milk, blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray an 8″x8″ glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flax seed and water and stir well. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
- Add the rest of the liquid ingredients (coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and zest) to the bowl with the flax and whisk to combine.
- In a second bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oats, baking powder, and salt) and stir together to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well. Stir in the blueberries.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until top of the oatmeal is golden brown and the middle no longer jiggles when you give the pan a shake.
- Allow to cool on the counter a few minutes before cutting into pieces to serve.
