Simple stovetop oats naturally sweetened with banana. Topped with an easy sugar-free blueberry pie compote. Perfect for workweek breakfast!
Well hello, lovelies, and welcome to August.
I started off the month with an early bird Solid Core class (5:30 AM!!!) and a big bowl of oats that taste like pie.
OK, I make it sound seamless, but the truth is that there was a lot of snooze button-slapping and matcha-slurping that propelled me here.
Wanna join?
OK, if you can’t make it to class, I get it, but you should at least join me for breakfast.
This Blueberry Pie Oatmeal (No-Added-Sugar!) is my current favorite way to eat oats.
It’s completely fruit-sweetened and packed with protein, fiber, and a 2-ingredient blueberry pie compote.
We start with my basic model for some good tasting stovetop oats.
This is my go-to blueprint for any stovetop oat recipe, so save it and make your own versions!
All you need is:
- gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats
- unsweetened almond milk
- chia seeds
- smashed banana
Almond milk in place of water adds creaminess, chia seeds add bulk, and smashed banana adds that perfect hint of sweetness.
If you want you could mix in your favorite protein powder for an extra boost.
You could also add in your favorite veggie, like grated zucchini or riced cauliflower, but both this is totally optional.
Did you know you could basically make blueberry pie filling on the stovetop in under 10 minutes?
All you need are:
- frozen blueberries
- fresh squeezed citrus– lemon or orange juice
I like to use orange juice here because it adds a little extra sweetness.
You could add a bit of maple syrup here for extra sweetness, if you want, but I love leaving it no sugar added.
The blueberries will bubble and thicken until you have a sweet plump purple compote that’s pie without the crust.
This compote isn’t just good for oatmeal– you can also use it to top chia pudding, pancakes, waffles, toast, or smoothie bowls!
I mean, who *really* needs pie crust?
What are your favorite oatmeal toppings?
My bowls are usually topped with fresh fruit and some kind of crunch.
The crunch conduit in this instance is Bob’s Red Mill new Lemon Blueberry Pan-Baked Granola that I tried for the first time this week.
Yes, Bob’s Red Mill makes granola now!
The new Lemon Blueberry Pan-Baked Granola is a combination of whole grain oats, real maple syrup, coconut, blueberries and wholesome seeds baked to crispy, golden perfection.
I figured it would be the perfect topper to my blueberry pie oats, and I wasn’t wrong.
I usually prepare my oatmeal and blueberry compote in separate pans on the stovetop at the same time.
You’ll want to stir both frequently to ensure they don’t burn, so don’t go too far!
Usually I use the time to unload the dishwasher while the smell of warm blueberries fills the kitchen.
It’s a place you WANT to be, friends.
More often than not, they’ll be done at about the exact same time– at the 10 minute mark.
Not bad for breakfast on a time budget, yeah?
Try making these Blueberry Pie Oatmeal (No-Added-Sugar!) for an easy elevated breakfast cereal!
I like mine served warm to reinforce the warm pie vibe, but you could also throw these ingredients together in a jar to make Blueberry Pie Overnight Oats, too.
To do this, reduce the almond milk by 1/2 and mix together all the oatmeal ingredients in a mason jar.
In the morning, add more almond milk as needed and top with prepared blueberry compote and desired toppings.
This recipe serves one, as I’m oatmeal-ing for one over here, but you can easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe to feed more mouths.
Enjoy!
