    Why you should make this baked oatmeal

    ▶︎ It's healthy! Baked oatmeal is a great way to add fiber to your diet. This oatmeal is packed with blueberries which give you vitamin C, too.

    ▶︎ Simple ingredient list. I bet most of you have all of the ingredients to make this oatmeal in your kitchen right now.

    ▶︎ It reheats well! Make a double batch in a 9x13 pan and have a delicious hot breakfast all week.

    Ingredients

    You only need a few kitchen staples to make this easy baked oatmeal recipe.

    Ingredients needed to make blueberry oatmeal.

    Ingredient Notes

    Oatmeal: Use Old fashioned oats (not quick oats) to get the best texture.

    Eggs: Eggs make the oatmeal fluffy. Don't skip them.

    Brown Sugar: Dark brown sugar gives the oatmeal a rich, caramel flavor with just enough sweetness. Light brown sugar can be used, but the flavor won't have as much depth.

    Blueberries: Fresh or frozen can be used. If using frozen berries, there is no need to thaw them before adding to the recipe.

    Instructions

    Making baked oatmeal takes just a few minutes to prep before baking away in the oven.

    1. Add the oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon to a medium bowl.

    2. Stir to combine and set aside.

    3. In another medium bowl, add milk, eggs and vanilla.

    4. Whisk until eggs are fully incorporated.

    5. Add oatmeal mixture to milk mixture and stir to combine.

    6. Add melted (and slightly) cooled butter to the bowl and stir to combine.

    7. Add the blueberries and stir gently to combine.

    8. Pour oatmeal into a greased 2-quart baking dish and bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes at 350°F.

    FAQs

    Why do you add eggs to baked oatmeal?

    Eggs bind the oatmeal together. Using 2 eggs makes this oatmeal both creamy and fluffy for the best texture!

    Can I use fresh or frozen blueberries?

    You will get great results with fresh or frozen blueberries. Frozen blueberries may make the oatmeal a little more "blue" in color but will still taste great. Do not thaw the blueberries before baking if you are using frozen berries.

    What is the best way to reheat baked oatmeal?

    It's easy to reheat baked oatmeal in the microwave and it only takes a few minutes. Add a couple of tablespoons of milk when you are reheating and stir it before serving to get a super creamy texture.

    Expert Tips for the Best Baked Oatmeal

    ✘ Use old-fashioned oats, not quick oats, for the best texture. Quick oats tend to get mushy when baked while old fashioned oats hold together better.

    ✘ Get creative with your toppings! Maple syrup, milk, and toasted nuts are a few of our favorites!

    ✘ Don't have any blueberries on hand? No problem! Simply add 2 cups of another fruit (peaches are a great option) or omit it entirely and still get oatmeal that is packed with flavor.

      Can you use all old fashioned oats (which I always have in the pantry)? I don't normally buy the quick cooking oats.
