Ingredients
-
2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1½ cups low-fat milk
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten
-
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
-
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
Description
-
Combine oats and milk in a large bowl. Cover and let soak in the refrigerator until much of the liquid is absorbed, at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 375℉. Coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray.
-
Stir egg, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder and salt into the soaked oats until well combined. Divide the mixture among the muffin cups (about 1/4 cup each). Top each with 1 tablespoon blueberries.
-
Bake the oatmeal cakes until they spring back when touched, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Loosen and remove with a paring knife. Serve warm.
