How to Make Baked Blueberry Breakfast
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish (an 8x8-inch pan works perfectly).
2. Build the Base
Spread the oats (or bread cubes) evenly across the bottom of the dish. Scatter most of the blueberries over the top, saving a small handful for later.
3. Mix the Custard
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the oats and berries, making sure everything is well soaked.
4. Top and Rest
Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top. Let the dish sit for 10 minutes so the oats can absorb some liquid—this step helps create a soft, baked-through texture.
5. Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. The blueberries should be bubbling and fragrant.
6. Cool Slightly and Serve
Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up and makes slicing easier.
How to Serve It
Baked blueberry breakfast is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it with:
A spoonful of Greek yogurt
Warm milk or cream poured over the top
Extra blueberries or a drizzle of honey
A dusting of powdered sugar for a bakery-style touch
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
This dish stores beautifully. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven. It also freezes well—just thaw overnight and warm before serving.
A Morning Worth Waking Up For
Baked blueberry breakfast is the kind of recipe that feels thoughtful without being complicated. It fills your kitchen with a comforting aroma, feeds a crowd (or future you), and proves that breakfast doesn’t have to be rushed to be realistic.
If mornings had a flavor, this would be it—warm, bright, and quietly joyful. 🫐✨
