Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries | Weight Watchers (2024)

This Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries recipe makes a filling and tasty Weight Watchers breakfast.

If you follow the most recent WW Points plan, a generous serving is 3 Points. You can add it directly to your WW App by clicking on the 'Add to WW App' button in the recipe card below!

If you follow one of the older plans, then it works out at 4 Points per generous serving on the Blue plan, 1 Point if you still follow the Purple plan and 5 Points if you still follow the Green plan.

But don't be fooled! Just because it's low in Points (and fat & sugar) that doesn't mean that it is low in taste.

Far from it .... it tastes really, really good! The banana and small amount of maple syrup ensures that this dish is sweet and delicious. The blueberries add an additional sweetness and pair well with the hint of cinnamon.

I tend to eat this Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries warm with a handful of fresh blueberries and a spoonful of fat free yogurt on the side. A perfect low SmartPoint breakfast.

Although baked oatmeal (or baked oats if you are in the UK!) are typically eaten for breakfast, I have also eaten this dish as a snack and also for dessert - served warm it pairs really nicely with a low point ice cream.

Baked oatmeal à la mode anyone? ..... then take a look at this list of Low Point Ice Creams for an ice cream that you can serve alongside that doesn't break your Point allocation.

Of course you don't have to eat this dish warm. It is also really good eaten cold, straight from the fridge or even room temperature. So it's really adaptable.

Ingredients in this recipe

Although, you can't really go wrong with this recipe there are a few tips that I'll share here.

• In this recipe, I used old fashioned rolled oats. However, you can use any oats that you have available really. I just particularly like the texture that these rolled oat give this baked oatmeal.
• I used fat free natural yogurt in this recipe but I have also used fat free greek yogurt for equally good results.
• I used a small banana in this recipe, primarily to add sweetness but also to bind the ingredients. I've tried the recipe using a larger banana but found it gave the baked oatmeal a stronger banana flavour than I was looking for!
• You can use either maple syrup or honey in this recipe. Both are equally good.
• Lastly, I added both vanilla extract and cinnamon to the mixture for a bit of added flavour.

Tips for making this recipe.

This recipe really is very forgiving!

However, one tip I'd really recommend is NOT to stir the blueberries into the mixture at the start. If you do you will get a finished baked oatmeal that has a strange blueish gray hue - and who want to eat blueish gray food!

Instead, smooth half of the mixture into you dish (picture 2) then top with half of the blueberries (picture 3) before topping with the remaining mixture (picture 4) and the rest of the blueberries.

How to store baked oatmeal.

The baked oatmeal will keep covered in the refrigerator for three or four days.

Warm it through by microwaving it or by placing it in a warm oven for 5 - 10 minutes.

Can you freeze baked oatmeal?

Yes you can!

Once you have baked the oatmeal and it has cooled, you can cut it into portions and freeze it. Cover each portion tightly in plastic wrap and then freeze.

You can then just pull one serving from the freezer at a time, defrost it in the microwave and warm it through for a quick, filling breakfast.
