This Triple Berry Baked Oatmeal makes an incredible, warming breakfast that is healthy and light!
I’ve got another baked oatmeal recipe for you! These days I’ve been eating a lot of steel cut oats. They simmer on the stove in the morning while I’m working (before the kids wake up) and I really don’t mind the wait.
Sometimes, though, it’s nice to switch it up. By switch it up, I mean instead of steel cut oats, how about some baked rolled oats? I’m crazy like that.
Baked oatmeal is simple to throw together. You mix up the ingredients in one bowl and throw it in the oven. What comes out, about 20 minutes later, is a warm and puffy oatmeal bake that everyone loves.
Some baked oatmeal recipes have a ton of sugar–so much that they could be classified as dessert. This one is lightly sweetened with a little maple syrup. It’s more than enough sweetness for me (I usually just use a banana to sweeten my steel cut oats), but you can always top yours with a little more if you think it needs it.
Berries are some of the best fruits, health-wise, on the planet. Their vibrant colors indicate that they are rich in antioxidants, which help our bodies fight free radicals that can lead to illness. I eat berries, whether fresh or frozen, all year long. They are also great inflammation-fighters. The warm berries dotted throughout this healthy baked oatmeal recipe add a perfect sweet and tart flavor to the oats.
Baked oatmeal is just as good for leftovers as it is fresh out of the oven, so go ahead and make a batch to enjoy today and tomorrow!

October 22, 2016 at 2:11 pmMy son is allergic to strawberries, can I use bananas or any other fruit?
Maryea says
October 23, 2016 at 8:17 amYou can leave out the strawberries and add more of the other berries. Bananas would be great, too!

Adrienne says
February 24, 2016 at 9:11 pmDo you have nutritional information?
Molly says
May 5, 2016 at 11:13 amCan you replace the milk with almond milk? 🙂
Maryea says
May 5, 2016 at 4:48 pmYes! I usually use almond milk for this recipe.
Sara says
October 3, 2016 at 3:32 pmCan you skip or replace the maple syrup with anything else?
Maryea says
October 4, 2016 at 7:27 amIt depends on how sweet you like your oats. If you don’t mind them not having a sweetness, you can leave it out. I would recommend using an alternate sweetener, though. Honey or agave nectar would work, or you can also use Sucunat or coconut sugar.

October 3, 2016 at 1:10 amI make this one all the time…makes breakfast easy!
JAMES FORD says
October 22, 2016 at 11:09 amCan I use steel cut oats ? What alterations should I make?
Maryea says
October 23, 2016 at 8:19 amI haven’t tried baking steel cut oats. It would definitely need to bake longer. I would add a bit more liquid also. Please let me know if you try it!
Elena says
March 27, 2017 at 10:11 amcan we also use instant oats instead of the old fashioned ones??
Belinda says
May 7, 2017 at 8:15 amHi! Can we fast cooking oats or should it be normal old fashioned oats?
Maryea says
May 8, 2017 at 10:38 amI like the texture better with the old fashioned oats, but quick cooking does work.
Rachna says
November 30, 2016 at 12:45 amHow long we can keep it ?

November 30, 2016 at 9:26 amThis will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days.
amy vota says
February 14, 2017 at 4:14 amcan I prepare it the night before and stick it in the oven in the morning?
Maryea says
February 15, 2017 at 12:44 pmYes!!
Emmy says
April 10, 2017 at 6:50 amCan you use frozen berries with this? Would the cooking time change? Looks amazing! 🙂
Maryea says
April 12, 2017 at 6:19 amIf the strawberries are still cut and not huge whole strawberries, it should work fine without adjusting the cooking time. Please let me know if you try it! 🙂
Marguerite Hill says

Roxanne says
February 2, 2018 at 11:58 amSuch a superb recipe! I used unsweetened vanilla coconut milk, and while it was baking, I toasted some coarsely chopped pecans on the stove and sprinkled them on top for the last five minutes. Will make this over and over! Easy and GREAT!!
