Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Baked Oatmeal is a celebration of blueberry season, and a must-make summer breakfast. Make it ahead and keep it in the refrigerator for easy grab-and-go breakfast all week!
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of baked oatmeals. I mean, it’s almost like eating cake for breakfast - how bad can that be?! When I’m really ambitious, I’ll make a baked oatmeal and a batch of mini frittatas, so I have my choice of either sweet or savory (or both!) for easy breakfast options throughout the week.
This Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Baked Oatmeal is loaded with bright, sunny flavors - tart lemon and sweet blueberries are a match made in heaven, plus the slight nutty flavor of the poppyseeds - yum! The poppyseeds add a little boost of minerals to this breakfast in the form of calcium, iron, and zinc. The vitamin C from the lemon helps with the absorption of iron, especially non-heme, plant-based iron like that found in the poppyseeds. Plus you’ve got antioxidants from the blueberries and great fiber from the oats, making this a nutrient-dense, satisfying breakfast.
Make this Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Baked Oatmeal while you can get fresh blueberries in season! But don’t worry, frozen work great too. Just be sure to add this recipe to your meal plan soon.
