Ingredients in Blueberry Breakfast Rounds

All-Purpose Flour
Gives the rounds structure while keeping them soft and tender.

Old-Fashioned Oats
Add heartiness and a bit of chew—plus that classic breakfast vibe.

Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup
For a warm, not-too-sweet touch. Use maple syrup for natural sweetness and a hint of richness.

Baking Powder & Baking Soda
Help the rounds rise and stay light.

Salt
Balances sweetness and boosts flavor.

Egg
Binds the ingredients and adds a little lift.

Milk (Dairy or Plant-Based)
Keeps the texture moist and soft. Use what you have on hand.

Neutral Oil or Melted Butter
For richness and moisture. Coconut oil works beautifully here too.

Vanilla Extract
Adds that cozy bakery-style flavor.

Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen)
The star of the show! Juicy pops of sweetness in every bite. No need to thaw frozen ones—just toss ’em in.

Instructions

Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, oil or butter, vanilla, and brown sugar or maple syrup until smooth.

Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Don’t overmix!

Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, toss them in a bit of flour first to prevent excess moisture.

Scoop and Shape

Scoop the dough into small rounds (about ¼ cup each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten the tops with your fingers or a spoon.

Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges and set in the center.

Cool and Enjoy

Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later!
