Equipment

  • 1 8x8 baking dish
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Saucepan If adding the extra blueberry compote layer

Ingredients

Crumble Topping -Optional you can exclude for less calories but it gives it that bakery flavor and indulgence

  • 1 C Oat flour
  • 1/2 C Gluten free 1:1 flour or all-purpose flour if you're not gluten free
  • 1/4 C Coconut sugar You can also use brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Pure maple syrup You may need more depending on how dry your flour is
  • 8 tbsp Vegan butter, stick form works better than the tub version. I used a brand made out of cashews or butter of your choice

Baked Oats Layer

  • 2 C Rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 C Fresh blueberries if using frozen blueberries you'll have to defrost and drain them first
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 3/4 C Milk of your choice, I used almond milk
  • 1/4 C Pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 2 scoops Vegan protein powder of your choice, I used Truvani vanilla If you don't want to use protein you can leave it out without replacement.

Extra Blueberry Compote Layer (optional)

  • 3/4 C Frozen blueberries or fresh
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Arrowroot starch, tapioca starch or corn starch

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 350F.
  • Make the crumble first. It's imperative that the crumble be chilled in the refrigerator before baking because we're using vegan butter which melts much quicker than regular butter so don't skip this step! Combine all the crumble ingredients in a bowl using a fork to make large crumble pieces. If your flour is dry you may need extra maple syrup. Refrigerate at least 10-15 minutes before baking
  • If you're making the extra blueberry layer you can make it now by combining the ingredients in a saucepan and simmering for 5 minutes until thickened
  • In the 8x8 pan mix the baked oat layer by combining and stirring the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, oil, protein powder and blueberries
  • If using the extra blueberry layer spread it over the top of the oats and swirl into the oats
  • Crumble the topping over the oats
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes on the top shelf uncovered. If you're crumble starts to get too brown cover with tin foil. Using a toothpick check the center to ensure it's fully cooked. If not check in 5 minute intervals until completed
    (In my oven in Florida -high humidity- an in a glass baking dish, uncovered it took the oats exactly 50 minutes to bake completely
