Easy Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
This baked oatmeal is the type of breakfast that you whip up in the morning then kick back, relax, and enjoy with a warm cup of coffee.
If you’ve never had baked oatmeal before, this recipe is the perfect place to start. Even if you’re not a fan of oatmeal, baked oats provide a totally different texture and flavor. This Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal is sweet, chewy, flavorful, and so filling. It’s super easy to make, gluten and dairy-free, and the recipe is basically fool-proof. Plus, all you need are a few basic ingredients! I bet you have most or all of them in your kitchen right now.
Not a blueberry fan? No worries, you can add whatever type of fruit you like or leave the fruit out completely. Do you like nuts or seeds in your oatmeal? Go ahead and add some. You can also add toppings just before serving it! The possibilities are truly endless with this breakfast.
My Baked Oatmeal Topping Ideas:
- Pure maple syrup
- Shredded coconut
- Honey
- Greek yogurt
- Natural peanut butter
- Cinnamon
If you’re a meal prep kind of person, this recipe is also wonderful for making ahead of time. It’s super easy to double (or triple) depending on how many servings you want to make. If you plan to eat it within 3 days, store the baked oatmeal in an air-tight container in the fridge. Or if you want to keep it fresh longer, cut the baked oatmeal into servings and place in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months!
So what are you waiting for? This baked oatmeal is delicious, nutritious, and provides the energy you need to tackle your day with confidence. I can’t wait to see how yours turns out!
