# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Add-Ins

09 - 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
10 - 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

11 - 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
12 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
13 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
03 - In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.
05 - Fold in the blueberries and nuts if using.
06 - In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
07 - Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dollop the yogurt mixture on top and gently swirl with a knife or spoon to create a marbled effect.

09 - Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's meal prep magic—make it once, eat it all week without the repetitive boredom of plain overnight oats.
  • The Greek yogurt swirl adds tanginess and creaminess that makes you feel like you're eating dessert for breakfast.
  • No refined sugar means your energy stays steady instead of crashing mid-morning.
02 -
  • If you add the blueberries when the batter is too warm, they'll start bleeding purple everywhere, so make sure everything is mixed and ready before they go in.
  • The yogurt swirl on top needs to be dolloped casually, not spread like frosting—the marbling happens because of that separation, and over-swirling makes it muddy instead of marbled.
03 -
  • Don't skip the 10-minute cooling step—it lets the custard set up enough to slice cleanly instead of crumbling into a pile.
  • If you want extra protein, stir 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder into the wet ingredients before mixing with the dry, though this slightly changes the texture.
