Why You’re Going to Love This Berry Oatmeal Bake

Oatmeal is fast. It’s easy. It’s healthy. And it’s one of our best last-minute breakfasts. Now we’ve found a way to add a laid-back weekend vibe to oatmeal. We think you’re going to love it!

This Berry Oatmeal Bake tastes like a lightly sweetened oat muffin: crisp and golden on top, and moist and chewy inside. Fresh berries and crunchy almonds add an elevated flavor and texture that is really hard to get with stovetop oatmeal. It’s really as simple as stirring the ingredients together and tossing into the oven, so it’s great for weekends or busy mornings. Plus, you can whip it up the night before. And because you can make it with fresh or frozen berries, this little gem of a breakfast is perfect all year round.

Ingredients for Berry Oatmeal Bake

• Oats– Rolled oats works best in this baked oatmeal
• Milk– We used 2% milk, but any non-dairy substitute works great here too.
• Mixed Berries– We used frozen mixed berries.
• Maple Syrup– A bit of maple syrup brings out the sweetness in the berries.
• Eggs– The eggs help add structure and a bit of protein too!
• Butter– For richness. Coconut oil is also good!
• Sliced Almonds– Adds a delicious crunch. Chopped walnuts or pecans also taste great.
• Cinnamon– Adds a warm flavor that balances the berries beautifully.
• Baking Powder– Adds lightness and improves the texture.
• Salt– For flavor. We like to use kosher salt.
• Vanilla Extract– Optional, but delicious!

How To Make Berry Oatmeal Bake

1. Stir together the dry ingredients in a large bowl, reserving some almonds for the top.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the milk mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to combine.
4. Add the frozen berries and stir gently to encorporate.
5. Add the mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until nicely golden and set.
7. Serve warm with a dollop of vanilla yogurt if desired.

Tips & Suggestions

Can I make baked oatmeal the night before?

Yep! Assemble the oatmeal as directed, then cover and put in the fridge overnight. In the morning, bake according to the recipe directions.

Can I make baked oatmeal without eggs?

You can omit the eggs from this recipe, but you will lose some of the structure that the eggs provide. You’ll end up with a softer (but still delicious) baked oatmeal. Adding a tablespoon of flax meal to your oat mixture can help your bake set up without eggs.

Can I freeze leftover Berry Oatmeal Bake?

Leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze individual servings in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can I use different fruit in this oatmeal bake?

Absolutely! Try banana, mango, peach, plum, or any combination of berries you like. This recipe is super adaptable, and delicious in pretty much any combination.
