Instructions
Tip
Baked oats should have a cake-like texture and be soft and tender on the inside. Use a toothpick or knife to check if they are fully baked. If they are still soggy in the centre, leave them in the oven a little longer until they are done but do not overbake them as they will come out dry if you bake them too long. Only fill the ramekins ¾ of the way full as they rise during baking; otherwise, they might overflow in the oven.
Tip
If you do not have any ramekins, use a muffin pan with muffin liners and pour the batter into the liners. Store the baked oats in an airtight container for two days at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week.

Deliciously soft both warm and cold
These blueberry baked oats are perfect throughout the day. With their tender, puffy and spongy texture, you can eat them both warm and cold. They are most delicious warm right out of the oven but will get slightly denser once they have cooled – though they still taste great. So just pop them in the oven or microwave for a few minutes while you get ready for work and enjoy them on the go. Or, wrap them in cling film and bring for an easy snack or light lunch at work or in school.
Add your own touch
There are so many delicious ways to vary your breakfast or make something that goes well with an afternoon snack. Here is some inspiration to change up the blueberry version that you do not want to miss out on.
Chocolate baked oats
Blueberry baked oats also taste great with cocoa powder. Add two tablespoons of good-quality cocoa powder to the batter to give it an intense chocolate flavour similar to a chocolate cake. You can add the blueberries or simply bake the batter without them and instead serve the berries on the side along with vanilla skyr. On a cold winter or autumn morning, add a dash of cosy cinnamon for some spice to go along with the sweet flavours.
Chocolate chip baked oats
Love the taste of chocolate? Skip the blueberries and fold a handful of rich chocolate chips into the blended batter. The chocolate chips melt slightly when baked in the oven, and you will end up with a cross between cake and chocolate chip cookies. It is like having dessert for breakfast. To enhance the chocolate flavour, stir ½ teaspoon of your favourite coffee or brewed espresso into the batter. You get chocolate chips and coffee flavour in every bite. A tasty breakfast with a caffeine kick – what a way to start your morning! And, if you need some freshness, keep the blueberries in the batter for a fresh and sour kick in each bite.
Baked oats with berries
Blueberries are delicious on their own but taste even better mixed with other berries. Add a splash of vanilla paste or extract to the batter. Place blueberries, raspberries and blackberries in the ramekins, sprinkle with grated lemon zest and pour the batter over the berries and zest. These baked oats burst with sweet and juicy flavours and a touch of lemon for a fresh take; it is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. Dust them with a thin layer of icing sugar and serve with skyr.
