Oatmeal Base
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 6 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 eggs (beaten)
Add-ins and Garnishes
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Milk (for serving)
- Brown sugar (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
- Prepare the oatmeal mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, brown sugar, salt, and beaten eggs. Mix everything thoroughly and place the pan over medium heat. Simmer the mixture, stirring regularly to prevent sticking, until it thickens, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat and prepare the baking dish: While the oatmeal cooks, grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the oatmeal.
- Add blueberries and pecans; bake: Once the oatmeal mixture has thickened, fold in the frozen blueberries and chopped pecans evenly. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until the oatmeal is fully set and baked through.
- Serve: Spoon portions of the baked blueberry oatmeal into individual bowls. Top each serving with a splash of warm milk, sprinkle additional brown sugar and powdered sugar to taste for extra sweetness and garnish.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen blueberries with fresh blueberries when in season for a fresher flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or another plant-based milk instead of regular milk.
- Chopped walnuts or almonds can be used instead of pecans for a different nutty flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar to your preference.
- This oatmeal reheats well and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
