    These wholesome Loaded Blueberry Oats make for the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and start the day off right. Made simply with oatmeal, blueberries, and ALL the toppings—you won’t be able to get enough!

     

    If you haven’t been able to tell by now, I am a bigtime oatmeal fan. It’s easy to make, incredibly healthy, and crazy delicious. It’s also such a versatile dish that there are endless variations you can make. Whether you want chocolate for breakfast or a burst of fruity flavors, oatmeal has you covered.

    These Loaded Blueberry Oats are quick, easy, and packed with fresh flavors. If you’re looking for breakfast meal prep ideas, you can’t go wrong with oatmeal. Not only are they healthy and delicious, but they last in the fridge for up to a week. Now, onto the good stuff!

     

    What You’ll Need

    • Gluten-free oatmeal
    • Frozen Maine blueberries
    • Salt
    • Water
    • Almond milk (optional)
    • Toppings of your choice: chocolate chips, dragon fruit, nut butter, etc.

    How to Make Loaded Blueberry Oats

    1. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add oatmeal and a pinch of salt, then reduce to a simmer.
    2. Stirring frequently, add the frozen blueberries and continue to stir until the oatmeal is thickened to your desired consistency.
    3. Remove from heat and add a bit of almond milk if desired to thin it out.
    4. Garnish with the toppings of your choice! Get creative and mix it up!

    Oatmeal Topping Variations

    Because oatmeal is such a versatile dish, there are a ton of great options you can use for toppings. Some of my favorites include:

    • Peanut butter (almond butter and cashew butter also work!)
    • Fresh fruit like bananas and dragon fruit
    • Chocolate chips or chocolate-covered raisins
    • Pomegranate arils
    • Seeds like chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and hemp seeds
    • Chopped nuts
    • Shredded coconut
    • Yogurt
    • Spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and nutmeg

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make oatmeal in the microwave?

    Absolutely! Using the same measurements, you can add your oats, water, and salt to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until you’ve reached your desired consistency. You can choose to microwave the blueberries along with the oatmeal or add them in after, totally up to you.

    What can I use instead of blueberries?

    If you don’t have blueberries, any other frozen berries will work. You can use strawberries, blackberries, or even raspberries. Because blueberries are naturally smaller than other berries, I would recommend chopping your substitute berries into smaller pieces before using them.

    Is oatmeal healthy?

    Yes! In addition to being chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, oatmeal is also loaded with fiber to keep you feeling satisfied.

    How do I store this dish?

    You can store this dish by transferring the oatmeal to airtight jars or containers and placing them in the fridge for 4-6 days.
