Baked Oatmeal Recipe

  • Oats. We use ld fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. 
  • Eggs. A couple of eggs are added to help to hold the ingredients together.
  • Butter: You can use regular unsalted butter or vegan butter for this recipe, which adds a delicious buttery flavor.
  • Frozen bananas.  Sliced frozen bananas are added for a little sweetness and flavor.  They practically melt while baking, making the oatmeal tender and delicious.   If you use fresh bananas instead, then you’ll want to mash them a bit.  
  • Berries. I use a mix of fresh berries which gives this oatmeal a delicious flavor.  
  • Pure maple syrup. Pure maple syrup is our sweetener for this recipe (along with the bananas).  We also drizzle a little over the top with the walnuts for an amazing crispy topping.
  • Almond coconut milk. I like to use an almond and coconut milk blend, but you could use almond milk, oat milk or whatever vegan milk you prefer.  (I use an almond coconut milk blend by Califia found in the refrigerated section at markets).
  • Cinnamon. A little added cinnamon just adds to the amazing blend of flavors.
  • Pure vanilla extract. Also adds to the incredible mix of flavors.
  • Chopped walnuts. Chopped walnuts with an extra drizzle of pure maple syrup and dabs of vegan butter are added at the end to create an incredible topping.

How to Make Baked Oatmeal with Fruit

This healthy baked oatmeal recipe is one of those great breakfast recipes that you can prep ahead of time for popping in the oven the next morning.  

  • Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare baking dish. Lightly butter (using vegan butter or coconut oil) one 8×8 inch baking dish (you can also spoon mixture into ramekins to make individual baked oatmeal cups).
  • Whisk ingredients. Whisk together the ingredients, except the fruit.  Gently fold in the bananas and berries and pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
  • Topping. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the top with a drizzle of pure maple syrup and dabs of vegan butter.  This creates a really delicious topping when baked.
  • Bake. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden.

How to Serve this Oatmeal Breakfast Bake

This berry oatmeal bake is amazing piping hot fresh from the oven, but I’d never turn my nose up to it served cold.  It’s THAT good!  It’s amazing on its own and doesn’t need to be served with anything at all, but if you like, you could serve it with a dollop of vegan butter and a drizzle of pure maple syrup, or a dash of vegan milk or a dollop of yogurt. Or go ahead and serve it for dessert with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt.
