Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 large egg
- 0.333 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- as needed butter or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well incorporated. Gently fold in about two-thirds of the blueberries.
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Slowly drizzle in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oat mixture and whisk to loosen the cream cheese. This will make it easier to swirl into the oatmeal later.
Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the top and gently swirl it into the oatmeal using a butter knife to create a marbled effect.
Sprinkle the remaining blueberries evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as-is or with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.
