Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats avoid instant oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1⅔ cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (plus extra for greasing the dish)
  • cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans divided
  • cups fresh blueberries divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Lightly sweetened Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and adjust the rack to the center position. Lightly butter an 8-inch or 2-quart baking dish to ensure easy release.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and ¼ cup of the chopped pecans. Stir the mixture thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a whisk until fully combined. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously until smooth. Gradually stir the melted butter into the liquid mixture.
  • Take the prepared baking dish and evenly layer 2 cups of blueberries across the base. Carefully pour the oat mixture over the berries, ensuring an even spread. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface if necessary.
  • Top the oatmeal mixture with the remaining ½ cup blueberries and ¾ cup pecans, scattering them evenly to create a crunchy, fruit-studded topping.
  • Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the oats are firm and the pecans have turned a deep, golden-brown hue. Remove from the oven and allow the oatmeal to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. For added creaminess and a touch of indulgence, pair it with lightly sweetened Greek yogurt, if desired.
