Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is warm and wholesome, made with fresh blueberries, chopped pecans, maple syrup, and cinnamon, perfect for meal prepping or feeding a crowd!
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking dish and set aside.
In the mixing bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and spices until combined. Pour in the applesauce, maple syrup, milk, and eggs and stir everything together.
Pour the oat mixture into the baking dish. Add the blueberries and pecans, and gently fold them into the oat mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed all of the liquid and the top looks golden brown.
Let the baked oatmeal sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing into it to let everything set.

Make sure you're using rolled oats for the best texture (see the gluten free tip in the Ingredients section of this post), not quick oats or steel cut oats.
If you're using frozen berries, don't thaw them first. They can go into the recipe still frozen. If you thaw them first, it's still fine, but everything will be blue and purple.
This will really hold together as it cools. If it's still really warm from the oven, you might not get a clean piece when you cut into it. It's still good to eat, though!
