1. Preparation
Preheat your oven: Set your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by generously coating the inside bottom and sides with vegetable oil spray.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the quick oats, packed brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
4. Assemble the Oatmeal
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture until it is well combined and the oats are fully moistened. Carefully fold in the blueberries, trying not to crush them.
5. Bake the Oatmeal
Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven until the oatmeal is set and the edges have turned a lovely golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes.
6. Cool and Serve
Once baked, use oven mitts to carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. To serve, scoop the warm baked oatmeal into bowls and drizzle each portion with a bit of extra milk.
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the creaming process. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.
If using fresh blueberries, gently toss them in a small amount of flour before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
Make sure your oven is properly calibrated and preheated. An oven thermometer can help check the accuracy of your oven's temperature settings.
Line your baking dish with parchment paper in addition to greasing and flouring it for easy removal and clean-up.
When folding in the blueberries, do so gently with a spatula to avoid breaking the berries and causing streaks in the batter.
