Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Make sure everything is well combined.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries and fresh lemon juice. Distribute them evenly throughout the mixture. If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them first.
6. Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
7. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set up a bit more and makes it easier to cut into portions.
