Description

This Mixed Berry Baked Oatmeal is a wholesome and delicious breakfast option combining hearty oats with sweet and tangy mixed berries. Baked to perfection, it offers a warm, comforting dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for meal prepping or feeding a crowd. This recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, making it a tasty, nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

Oatmeal Mixture

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1½ cups milk (dairy or nut milk)
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Fruit

  • 1½ cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or 11×7-inch baking dish and set it aside to prepare for baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the old-fashioned oats, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until you achieve a uniformly combined mixture.
  3. Add Berries: Gently fold in 1 cup of the mixed berries into the oatmeal mixture, taking care not to crush the berries to keep them intact and distribute evenly.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared oatmeal and berry mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking. Then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mixed berries evenly on top for garnish and added flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges turn lightly golden brown, indicating that it is fully cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally drizzling with additional maple syrup or a splash of milk to enhance the flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • You can use either fresh or frozen mixed berries; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with any plant-based milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with brown sugar or honey, but adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
  • This recipe is easily doubled to feed more people or for meal prep.
