🍽️ Kitchen Tools and 🛠️ Equipment Needed 🔪
🧁 Small baking dish
🥣 Mixing bowl (optional if mixing directly in dish)
🥄 Spoon or spatula
🔥 Oven or air fryer
🧴 Cooking spray, butter or margarine
💡 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), 360°F (180°C fan), or preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) 🔥
💡 Fan ovens and air fryers cook slightly faster — adjust time accordingly!
Step 2: Grease a small baking dish with oil spray, butter or margarine 🧴
💡 This prevents sticking and helps form a golden crust.
Step 3: In the dish, combine oats, eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup and baking powder 🥣
💡 Mix well until fully incorporated — no dry spots!
Step 4: Stir in fresh or frozen blueberries gently 🍇
💡 Don’t overmix — keep the berries whole for juicy bursts.
Step 5: Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden, puffed and set through 🍰
💡 A toothpick should come out mostly clean — a little moisture is fine!
Step 6: Let cool slightly, then serve warm with extra yogurt or custard 💙
💡 Also delicious chilled the next day!
