BLUEBERRY BAKED OATMEAL is packed with oats and blueberries and sweetened with brown sugar. It’s a cozy and filling way to start the day.
My brother used to eat instant oatmeal just about every morning when we were growing up and, truth be told, I thought it looked so weird that I never even tasted a bowl of oatmeal until I was an adult.
Weird, right?!
It’s still not an every day food for me, but sometimes I just get a craving for a warm, cozy bowl of oats. And if there are berries involved? Well, the more the merrier.I really love to make this baked oatmeal for breakfast once and then reheat it all week long. It makes mornings so easy and my kids are happy to take a break from their usual breakfast of cold cereal.
How to make this baked oatmeal recipe:
Making baked oatmeal is just as easy as making it on the stove, but we love the texture you get from baking. It turns out a bit cakey and who doesn’t want cake for breakfast?!
Add your oats, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl and give it a good stir.
Fold in some fresh or frozen blueberries.
Spread this mixture into a greased baking dish and pop it in the oven 30 minutes.
That’s it! It’s beyond simple.
To serve:
Top your baked oatmeal with a drizzle of heavy cream and maple syrup or dollop on a scoop of Greek yogurt.
More berries are always welcome on top of our baked oatmeal!
Make ahead:
This baked oatmeal with blueberries is perfect for making ahead! You’ll get 6 servings out of one batch, but feel free to double the recipe if you think you’ll eat more within 5 days.
Wrap the oatmeal tightly and store in the refrigerator.
Reheat individual servings in the microwave.
Freezing:
This baked oatmeal recipe freezes beautifully!
After baking, portion this into single serving sizes and package it up for the freezer.
Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes to reheat.

Can you substitute maple syrup for brown sugar?

Haven’t tried it, but I think it would work well.

First time making. Delicious! Using just-picked blueberries is key to success. I did not add cream/syrup as recipe suggested, but will next time as oatmeal was ever so slightly dry. Absolutely will make again.

My family loves this recipe. I love that it doesn’t call for flour. Sometimes I substitute peaches for the blueberries. Great with a dollop of greek yogurt. It’s like peach cobbler with cream.
Karly says
Sounds delicious with peaches! 🙂

This had too much egg and was a gross texture nightmare. Yuck! And I wasted my blueberries ?
