Saturday Vittles

 
My Daughter and I are trying to eat more healthy so I thought I would share some pictures on Saturday's of what we've made. Most pictures are from my daughter since she takes good food pics. lol

Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast/Dessert

You will need:

2 Ramekins
1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats
1/2 Banana
1/4 Cup milk
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/4 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
7 Packets of Equal or sweetener of your choice
1/2 Cup of fresh blueberries


What to do: 

Blend everything in a blender, until smooth except the blueberries. 
Pour the mixture into 2 greased ramekins, mix in the blueberries into both ramekins. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. 

I didn't have  2 smaller ramekins so I baked this in one of the bigger ramekins I have and just cut it in half. Oats spike my blood sugar especially in the morning so I actually ate this as a dessert at night. For some reason it doesn't spike my blood sugar as much if I eat more carbs at night before bed. Maybe I just sleep through the shaky feeling. lol 

This was good though especially if you like oats or oatmeal. 

This makes two servings. Each serving is 210 Calories and 27 carbs.

  3. That is so interesting about the blood sugar spikes. I’ve considered getting a continuous glucose monitor to see the difference in times of day with eating carbs.

    1. I thought about getting one but found out my insurance would only cover it if I had type 1 diabetes. Not type 2 which is what I have.

  5. That looks good, but I personally don't like my oatmeal too sweet and would cut back on the sweetener

  7. They often make microwave oats too with an egg and a banana on Facebook videos. Strange that oats spike up your sugar as they help diabetes people keep their sugar levels in control, they lower sugar, but maybe yours have sugar in them or something. I use the glufree ones only and never use sugar in my house.

  10. This baked blueberry oatmeal looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I love that it's both a healthy breakfast and a satisfying dessert option. Your tip about eating carbs at night is interesting—everyone’s body responds differently, and it’s great that you’ve found what works for you! Also, your daughter’s food photography skills must be top-notch because good food deserves to be captured beautifully. Looking forward to more of your healthy meal inspirations!

    I hope you are having a great weekend. You are invited to read my new post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2025/03/the-breathtaking-adventures-we-had-in-glencoe.html
