Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small ramekin or oven-safe dish.
- Blend the Oats: In a blender or food processor, blend oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, baking powder, and egg until smooth.
- Layer the Batter: Pour half of the oat mixture into the prepared dish.
- Add the Cheesecake Layer: Mix softened cream cheese with a little honey, then dollop it over the batter. Swirl gently.
- Add Blueberries & Bake: Sprinkle blueberries on top, pour the remaining oat mixture over, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before enjoying. Optionally, top with more yogurt, fresh blueberries, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- Make it Vegan: Replace the egg with a flax egg, use dairy-free yogurt, and swap cream cheese for a vegan alternative.
- Meal Prep: Prepare in advance and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
- Microwave Option: Instead of baking, microwave in a heat-safe dish for 2–3 minutes until set.
