# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined with no dry flour remaining.
05 - Gently fold blueberries and chopped nuts into the batter, being careful not to crush the berries.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
07 - Transfer oatmeal mixture into prepared baking dish. Dollop yogurt mixture across the surface and gently swirl with a knife or spoon to create marbled pattern.
08 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until center is set and top is lightly golden brown.
09 - Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's make-ahead magic that lets you grab a slice straight from the fridge on hectic mornings.
  • The Greek yogurt swirl adds richness without guilt, keeping you full until lunch.
  • No refined sugar means your energy stays steady instead of crashing mid-morning.
02 -
  • Don't thaw frozen blueberries—they stay whole and juicy instead of turning into purple mush that stains everything.
  • The yogurt swirl needs to be gentle; overworking it will turn the whole thing one muddy color instead of creating those pretty marble veins.
03 -
  • Use Greek yogurt that's a bit thick and creamy—thinner versions will sink into the bake instead of creating that beautiful swirl.
  • The maple syrup matters here; it has a flavor complexity that regular sugar just can't match, and it's worth seeking out pure syrup instead of the pancake kind.
