One of the most important things in life to me is the pursuit of pie. Pie is very, very dear to me.
It’s that one food that really just drives me crazy. That flaky crust and gooey caramelized fruit…oh baby! The trick is to get juuusst the perfect ratio of crust to fruit and then you stuff the whole thing in your mouth and just… Bliss. Someone catch me, I’m fainting.
And don’t you DARE forget that big scoop of vanilla ice cream to compliment each bite. You see, I’ve got it all worked out. You get slow-churned, half-fat vanilla ice cream so you can justify an extra piece of pie. Life is all about balance. That is, until you eat twice the amount of ice cream to go along with pie round #2 because it is a sin to have one without the other. And who wants to be a sinner? NOT ME.
But sometimes you just don’t have access to pie. If you’re like me, you leave it at your boyfriend’s apartment because you don’t have any self control and would literally make yourself gloriously sick off of it. It’s those sad, sad moments when you need to improvise on how to get your pie fix.
And sometimes miracles happen. Like when you’re able to get all the flavor and deliciousness of pie into a bowl of oats and your mind is blown and your tastebuds start to dance!
Not only can I satisfy my primordial need for pie, but I can do so in a healthy way! Instead of lathering on the processed sugar, the blueberry pie compote is made with just a half tablespoon of natural honey per serving and the rest of the sweetness comes from the blueberries alone. Oh! And it’s fast too! From start to finish, this recipe takes me just 10 minutes, which is perfect for someone who is always rushing in the morning like me.
This is one of those breakfasts that can get me out of bed in a jiffy. I kid you not when I say I look forward to waking up so I can get myself perched next to a bowl of these oats. They’re that good!
So if you’re like me and have an insatiable sweet tooth, give these fabulous Blueberry Pie Oats a go and get ready to load the train to flavor town. Choo choooooo!
Today I’m linking up with What I Ate Wednesday to share this recipe! Thanks, Jenn for hosting!
Just the title got me hooked. I literally have all of these ingredients. I know what I’m making soon!
Like you, I am a fanatic for pie. I love it. SO MUCH. There are so many different kinds. The possibilities are endless!
I wish I could write food descriptions as well as you. Got me droolin’ here..
I love it when I see a recipe I want to try and have all the ingredients on hand! Nothing better than not having to run to the store haha. Ok, you like pie. I like pie. LET’S BE BEST FRIENDS <3.
Yum! I try not to eat sweet in the mornings – because it results in draft to sweet all day. But this porridge – looks is delightful! I am ready to lick the screen, seriously.
Thanks, Marina! Wish I could invent a scratch and taste for computers like they have for perfume samples in magazines ;).
Oh my pie, this bowl looks like pure bliss. The only downfall to this recipe is I’d probably eat them so quickly I wouldn’t be able to enjoy every single bite – esp. the last one. LOL
Hahah that’s always my problem with good food! The one saving grace about this bowl of oats is that it’s pretty hot so I’m forced to slow down 😉
Your talk of pie almost makes me forget that I’m not the biggest fan — definitely a cake girl over here. But ugh… the thought of warm flakiness with melting ice cream is enough to make me weak in the knees. And I’m pretty sure that one of the main reasons I get put of bed is to have breakfast 😆
AMANDA. It pains me to hear you’re more of a cake girl. This put a huge strain on our relationship. We have some issues to work through apparently ;).
I’m with Amanda. I’m not the biggest fan of pie either, but whenever you talk about it or I see your pictures I’m like hmmm maybe I was wrong. This oatmeal looks amazing, though. I need to try it soon.
NOOOO! Not you too! I’ll have to send you over a piece of my salted caramel apple pie to try to sway you haha ;).
Blueberry pie for breakfast!?! I’m totally down with that! These oats look fantastic and I bet them smell amazing when they’re cooking!
Mhmm yes they do! The honey and blueberries caramelize and the house smells amazing
Oh my gosh, I hadn’t thought about pie in forever until I just read your post. I want pie now, like right now. These look super tasty and make me wonder why I don’t make oats for breakfast more often!
That blueberry pie oatmeal looks so much more appealing than the peanut butter banana oatmeal I just had! Pie isn’t my favorite, but I definitely want to try this recipe!! It would be a much needed change to my oatmeal routine.
I am completely obsessed with blueberries, and this looks incredible. I can’t wait to try it!
You definitely had me at blueberry! But the combination of blueberry, pie and oatmeal is just divine! I’m going to have this next week when I’m back home! Big love for this idea 😀
Oh wow, yep, this is amazing! The gooey fruity stuff on the inside is the best part and you’re telling me I can put it on oatmeal? You’re amazing!!!
So I totally just pinned that. Yum!!
Oh my gosh, this almost looks too beautiful to eat. And yet, it looks so delectable that I absolutely would. What a perfect summertime treat! Thanks for sharing the recipe
Pretty much anything with pie in the title and I’m sold
mmmm pie, blueberries, and oats. all the world needs! yummm<3
YES. Just yes haha! This looks amazinggg! I’ve never thought to add cornstarch before!
Pie for breakfast? ALWAYS! And how funny that you leave your baking creations at Kyles place – I do that all the time with Jay too
And then I have banana peanut butter oats at home instead. It works well to satisfy my sweet (pie?) tooth. But now I won’t to try your blueberry variation, which sounds lovely!
I have to let you know that just reading your title lured me in. This recipe looks so delicious! It’s now on my list of things to make! P.S. Blueberries are my favorite spring fruit
Wow, that looks so good!!
Oh my word, this looks so delicious! I know my oldest daughter would love this. When she was three, she would ask me for blueberry pancakes every day.
Your photography is looking so good girl! 
Mmmm.. pie <3 this looks so yummy! I've never used cornstarch so I'm a little clueless as to what it does to the blueberries.. but whatever. Also, YES to ice cream with the pie. You can't have one without the other. And always have two pieces:)
K so I don’t like oatmeal…… BUT after your awesome description of this recipe I kind of want to make this… SOUNDS SO GOOD.
I am eating this as I type and it is so. good. It deliciously warms you all the down to your toes (which don’t have socks on right now and are freezing!). This will be my regular breakfast for awhile, mainly because its really easy to make and is so yummy!
I also added chunks of protein bar on top for some chocolaty chewiness!
YAY! For some reason I’m only just now seeing this comment and it totally made my day :D. So glad I have you to give me feedback on so many of my recipes <3!
Those added protein par chunks sound so so SO good!
OMG. THIS OATMEAL. It seriously looks life changing. I’m definitely going to have to test out the recipe for myself. Luckily I have a huge bag of frozen blueberries in the fridge. Mmm. Looking forward to it.
I just made this for breakfast, it’s delicious
it was so easy to make . I halved the recipe because I knew if I made the full amount I would probably eat all of it! Thanks for sharing:)
I’m SO glad it turned out just as well for you! Smart of you to make only one servings worth, I should learn from you haha! It’s hard to resist all that blueberry goodness 😉
I tried to leave 5 stars but it may not have worked:) excellent recipe , easy and delicious . Thanks for sharing it. I halved it so I wouldn’t eat the whole thing:)
Ahhh this look so amazing! I will definitely have to try this! Thanks for sharing! xxx Yasmin
I am drooling. YUM. I cannot wait to make this! <3
That looks awesome!! But how do you make the oatmeal itself? I always manage to ruin it.
I honestly just follow the recipe on the back of the box! When I’m feeling lazy, I just microwave the ingredients together and it turns out great! Which oat brand do you use?
I use Quaker’s oats most of the time, though organic oats are available in our local supermarket in Israel. Is there some standard recipe or does it vary across brands? It always turns out sticky for me. I’m lactose intolerant so I can’t use milk.
Thanks!
Do you think I could substitute frozen raspberries instead of using frozen blueberries?
I think that would work fantastically! I was actually planning on posting another version of these oats using raspberries, so if you could let me know how they turn out I would really appreciate it!
Do the blueberries have to be frozen or can I use fresh ones?
Fresh blueberries will work perfectly! You might want to add in 1 tablespoon of water, though, to get more liquid in which would usually be in the blueberries from being frozen.
Fresh ones will work perfectly!
