Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Oil an 8-inch x 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Set it aside.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the flax egg - stir 1 tablespoon of flax meal and 3 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until an egg-like texture forms.
In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, baking powder, salt, chia seeds, coconut, and cinnamon.
Stir in the wet ingredients: flax egg made before, almond milk, plant-based yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
Fold in fresh or frozen blueberries and stir to combine.
Pour the lemon blueberry oat mixture into the prepared baking dish.
If you like, sprinkle extra blueberries on top of the oatmeal.
Bake on the center rack for 40-45 minutes at 350°F (180°C) or until the center is set, not soggy or soft. You know it's ready when the top is golden brown, and the sides are set and dry.
Cool in the baking dish at room temperature until lukewarm before serving, or until cold to store in the fridge.
Storage
Cool down completely, cover the baking dish with a piece of foil, and store in the fridge, for up to 4 days. Freeze in individual portions for up to 1 month in freezer bags.
Serving
Serve cold or lukewarm. Microwave or cook in a non-stick saucepan with a splash of almond milk. Serve with a drizzle of nut butter or plant-based yogurt.
Notes
Note 1: Stir 1 tablespoon of flax meal and 3 tablespoons of lukewarm. Set aside for 10 minutes until a gooey texture forms.
