A Decadent Baked Blueberry Oatmeal

 


This is a delicious breakfast treat. It's very filling, creamy and delicious. If you are worried about carbs and sugar, this may not be for you. 

1 ½ cups old fashioned oats

¼ cup oat bran

¼ cup Tapioca or Arrowroot flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon allspice

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1/3 cup maple syrup

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

2 eggs

1 ½ cups milk or Half and half

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon coconut sugar

1-2 tablespoons puffed Millet

2 cups blueberries

2 tablespoons coconut milk

1-2 tablespoons raw cashews

 

1.      

2.     Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Grease the sides.

3.     Mix together in a bowl flour, oat bran, oats, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and baking powder. Set aside

4.     In a mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, milk, and melted butter. Add the oat mixture to this and mix together.

5.     Let stand for about 5 minutes for the dry ingredients to absorb the liquid and thicken up. Stir in 1 cup of blueberries and pour the mixture into the dish.

6.     Sprinkle the coconut sugar, blueberries, puffed millet and whole cashews over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

7.     Heat oven to 350 degrees F, pour the coconut milk over the top of the mixture in the baking dish and then bake for about 35-40 minutes until the sides are browned and a tester inserted comes out clean and the internal temperature is above 174 degrees F. Broil for about 3 minutes if you like a caramelized top.
