Berry Baked Oatmeal recipe is loaded with fresh fruit like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, but you can always use frozen berries! It’s sweetened with honey and has vanilla to add a delicious flavor to it.

Baked Oatmeal

Put down that packet of oatmeal! I’m going to show you just how easy it is to make your own flavored oatmeal from scratch. This Berry Baked Oatmeal recipe is delicious and flavorful, and it requires minimal effort. It is full of fresh mixed berries and fragrant vanilla.

It’s baked in the oven, which means no standing over the stove and stirring. Woohoo! Mornings just got a little easier, and a whole lot tastier. 😉

You know me, I love lazy morning breakfasts! Here are a few of my favorites – Make-Ahead Breakfast Muffin Melts, Cheesy Ham Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole or how about Berry Yogurt Breakfast Parfait – YUM!!!

Just stick the leftovers in your fridge and reheat portions throughout the week as needed. It’s always great to have a quick and healthy breakfast waiting in the fridge, especially on busy weekday mornings.

Can you use instant oatmeal for baking?

Short answer – no, you can’t substitute instant oatmeal for baking. The consistency is different, it’s processed and flavored, it’s not a substitute for old fashioned oats.

Should baked oatmeal be refrigerated?

Yes, because this recipe includes eggs it should be refrigerated. Allow it to cool completely, cover and refrigerate.

Can you make oatmeal ahead of time and reheat?

Absolutely, that’s the beauty of this recipe! If you’re serving it for a brunch, terrific – but this is also a great make-ahead breakfast you can portion and enjoy for your busy week!

Berry Oatmeal Bake

This recipe is super adaptable. I used raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries in it, but you can use your favorite combination of berries, or you can even swap some of the berries for sliced bananas.

Can I use frozen berries in Baked Oatmeal?

I used fresh berries, but if you’d like to use frozen, you can. Just FYI – The color from the frozen berries might bleed into the oatmeal a bit (don’t worry – it will still taste great).

Baked Oatmeal with Fruit

This dish gets its vanilla flavor from a combination of vanilla almond milk and vanilla extract. The vanilla compliments the berries perfectly. And since this dish is sweetened with pure maple syrup, it contains no refined sugar!

If you’d like it a little sweeter, feel free to drizzle the top of each serving with additional maple syrup. You can also stir in a splash of almond milk (or regular milk) to make it extra creamy.

How do I make Baked Oatmeal with Fruit

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease the baking dish set aside.
Combine oats, baking powder and salt. Place half the oat mixture in the baking dish, top with half the berries, and then top with the remaining oat mixture.
Whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the oats. Top with the remaining berries.
Gently shake the baking dish back and forth from side to side to allow the wet mixture to get down into the oats.
Bake uncovered until oats are tender, and the mixture is set.

I love how versatile oats are. Each of the recipes that I’ve recently shared are so different. Some are breakfast worthy, some are healthy, and one, in particular, is decadently delicious (one my all-time faves).
