Blueberry Baked Oats (Without Banana)

Arielle Hess
A hearty, healthy dish bursting with blueberries and oats, this blueberry baked oats without banana is a cross between a fruit crumble and a bowl of oatmeal. Layers of blueberries and oats are topped with brown sugar and toasted pecans and baked. A great dish to make ahead and reheat, make this the next time you have a crowd to feed at brunch.

Notes

If you don’t like pecans, you can omit them entirely or use almonds or walnuts instead. You can use frozen or fresh blueberries depending on what you have on hand. Either works well.
When you go to toast your nuts, I recommend that you place them on a sheet of parchment paper on your baking sheet. Also, watch your nuts closely when you toast them. They will go from untoasted to burned very quickly.
When you bake the baked oatmeal, make sure that the center of the dish is fully cooked before you remove it from the oven. You can do this by inserting a small paring knife or toothpick into the center. It should insert easily. It likely will not be totally clean because of the blueberry juices in the dish. If you used frozen blueberries rather than fresh, you may need to add a little extra baking time.
