Easy Baked Oatmeal Recipe
I love oatmeal. Quick oats, old-fashioned oats, steel cut oats. I love it with fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts. Warm, cold…and now baked! After years of hearing about baked oatmeal, and swearing I was going to make it, I finally did. It did not disappoint!
In this version, I used blueberries and almonds, but these items can easily be switched out with a different fruit and nut to keep the dish interesting every week.
I find that baked oatmeal is a really great go-to, especially when I have portions tucked away in the fridge for the busiest of mornings!
Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 3½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups whole milk, 2% works but is not ideal
- 6 oz. blueberries, (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup sliced almonds, divided, pecans also work
- heavy cream or maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, and milk. Add to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in the blueberries and ¼ cup of the almonds.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup of almonds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the oatmeal is lightly browned around the edges, slightly crisp on top, and a knife inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Slice and serve with a drizzle of heavy cream or maple syrup!

Get the oven going and prepare a baking dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine ingredients: Mix together 3½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats, ⅓ cup brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
Combine ¼ cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, and 1½ cups whole milk.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and combine. Fold in 6 oz. of blueberries and some of the almonds.
Pour mixture into greased pan: Pour the oat and milk mixture into the greased baking dish, flatten into an even layer, and sprinkle with the remaining almonds.
Bake: Bake until the oatmeal appears lightly browned around the edges, slightly crisp on top, and a knife inserted comes out with just a few crumbs. I usually bake mine for 25-30 minutes.
Let cool and enjoy: Remove the dish from the oven and allow the oatmeal to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve with a drizzle of heavy cream or maple syrup!
How to Store
To make ahead, assemble as directed, but instead of baking, cover it tightly and store in the fridge the night before. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking or you might need to increase the bake time by a few minutes.
To store, prepare as directed, allow to cool completely, then slice into portions. Store in the refrigerator in a large airtight container or in individual plastic bags, for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place portions in a bowl with a tablespoon of water; pop in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until desired temperature is reached.
Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly in an airtight freezer-friendly container. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
What to Serve With Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
On busy mornings, I love chowing down on this oatmeal alongside a coffee banana smoothie or this green smoothie. For more fruit flavor, sometimes I’ll add a dollop of raspberry jam to my oatmeal.
This was great! Thanks for sharing.
Delicious! Super easy. I used almond milk, and it worked fine. Recipe is not too sweet, and I ate it plain. Great new way to eat oatmeal.
This was perfect! I used blackberries – whole family loved it.
