Ingredients Needed

Here are notes about some of the ingredients needed for this baked oats recipe. All ingredients can be found at your local grocery store or at an online retailer, like Amazon.

  • Oatmeal: Old fashioned oats will be best. You could use quick oats, but the texture won't be as chewy. Steel-cut oats or instant oats would not work.
  • Blueberries
  • Brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar would work.
  • Almonds: I prefer to toast the almonds because I think the flavor of toasted nuts is so good. You could use raw if you prefer. The recipe uses sliced almonds, but slivered or chopped work great too.
  • Baking powder
  • Milk: Use your preferred milk variety for this. Almond milk, soy milk or any non-dairy milk substitute will work.
  • Banana: Use ½ cup ripe mashed bananas which is about 1-2 banans.
  • Butter: You will use melted butter.
  • Egg

Expert Tips

Here are some tips for how to make this easy recipe:

  • Plan ahead. This does take a bit of time to cook in the oven, so be sure to give yourself enough time! Pop it in the oven right when you get up and allow it to bake while you get ready for the day!
  • Drizzle with either heavy whipping cream or maple syrup. Both are delicious choices!
  • Swap out the blueberries for chocolate chips for an extra special treat!

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Sure. Frozen blueberries would work if you are making this outside of blueberry season.

Should I serve this warm or cold?

I think this is best served warm but it could be served cold or at room temperature too. Leftovers or cooled baked oatmeal can easily be warmed up in the microwave, if desired.

Can I use steel cut oats?

No. This is best made with old fashioned rolled oats. Steel cut oats take quite a bit more time to cook so will not provide the same texture.

Storing and Freezing

Store leftover baked blueberry oatmeal in the refrigerator covered tightly with plastic wrap for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through.

Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave until heated through.
