Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

Here is the recipe for the blueberry baked oatmeal that I brought to Annie's today.  Look, I even took a picture!  It's a forgiving recipe, so you can sub things that you don't have pretty easily.  The flax seed for instance, I mainly add for extra nutrition and it would be fine without it.  

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 cup coconut oil (or butter)
• 1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1 Tb. cinnamon
• 1 tsp cardamom
• 3 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (not quick-cook)
• 1/4 cup ground flax seed
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/4 cups blueberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Use coconut oil or butter to grease a 8" x 11" glass pan.
2. With a mixer, blend egg, applesauce, and brown sugar. 
3. Add in vanilla, coconut oil or butter (should be very soft), and yogurt and mix.
4. In a small bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, and spices.  Add this mixture to larger bowl until incorporated evenly through the batter.
5. Next, add flax seed and oats and stir.  (I do this stirring by hand.)
6. Add milk and stir.
7. Finally, add blueberries and stir to mix.  I use frozen blueberries often times.  I stir as little as possible so the whole thing doesn't turn purple!
8. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.  It should set and look golden on top.

Some of our family members like to eat this with milk poured over it, or with yogurt on top.  Others like maple syrup or brown sugar sprinkled on top.
