BLUEBERRY CHIA BAKED OATS {GF, DF}

Baked oats? Why? How? 
​
To be honest, I wasn’t totally sure. But I gave it a go and was not disappointed by this sweet and satisfying blueberry-chia combination.
Baking the oats make them dense, creamy, and the ulitmate comfort food. I used a few simple ingredients, but of course you can use whatever fruits/toppings you’ve got!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes 
Yields one serving 


What you’ll need:


1/3 cup oats 
2/3 cup almond milk 
2 tbsp chia seeds 
1/4 cup blueberries
1 tbsp flax meal
1/8 tsp vanilla extract 
1/8 tsp cinnamon 
1/8 tsp baking powder


OPTIONAL ADD INS:
1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 scoop collagen powder or any vanilla protein powder 
1-2 egg whites


What you’ll need to do:

1. Combine ingredients in a small, oven safe ramikin or small dish.
2. Bake for ~30 min at 350. 
3. Get to topping! I used Greek yogurt, sunflower seed butter, chia, hemp seeds, and coconut.

Stay warm!
