Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is an easy and healthy meal prep/ make-ahead meal prep breakfast you can make once and eat all week.

Packed with fiber, healthy fats and antioxidants from the berries, this breakfast has it all. Plus, it is yummy and satisfying as well.

How to make baked oatmeal

First gather your ingredients.

Ingredients

For tastiest results, always use the best quality ingredients you have access to.

Ingredients with label text on white surface

To make this baked oatmeal recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • ripe bananas
  • rolled oats
  • chia seeds
  • vanilla extract
  • lemon juice
  • maple syrup
  • almond, or plant milk of choice
  • salt
  • frozen blueberries
  • frozen strawberries
  • Chopped pecans – optional for serving

Of course, these ingredients are a baseline that you can adjust to fit your own taste preferences.

Heads up: For best results, I recommend using old fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. I would not recommend instant oats, quick oats or steel cut oats for this particular recipe.

I prefer non dairy milk for this recipe, but I see no reason why any milk would not work. Use your favorite.

Assembly

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.

Add the bananas to the prepared baking dish and mash them up with a fork.

Add the oats, chia seeds, vanilla, lemon juice, maple syrup, plant milk and a pinch of salt and stir that all up.

Yet, I just mix it all in the baking dish! No need to dirty up a large mixing bowl, unless you just want to. Add the frozen berries in an even layer over the oatmeal.

Then bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until it is set and lightly golden.

Once the baked oatmeal is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve and top with more maple syrup and chopped pecans.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days, and reheat when you are ready to eat it. We just use the microwave to reheat ours.
