Blueberry Pecan Baked Oatmeal

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease an 8-inch or 2-quart baking dish with butter.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, ¼ cup of the nuts, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, break up the eggs with a whisk; then whisk in the milk and vanilla until well combined. Add the milk mixture to the oat mixture, along with the melted butter.

Step 4

Scatter 2 cups of the blueberries evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the oatmeal mixture over top and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup nuts and ½ cup blueberries on top. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the pecans on top are a rich brown color and the oats are set. Let cool for at least 5 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature with Greek yogurt, if desired.
