Triple Berry Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Breakfast has become one of my favorite meals of the day. While I often go for a savory breakfast like Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas, my kids prefer sweet dishes like Easy Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread or Cinnamon French Toast Sticks. But sometimes we need something with a little fruit so oatmeal to the rescue.

This Easy Mixed Berry Baked Oatmeal hits the spot with sweet berries in a cinnamon and maple syrup oatmeal then baked and served warm when you eat it. My kids always want more maple syrup drizzled on top but I tend to put it in a bowl with milk. Either way, it tastes so sweet and comforting. And maybe the best part- it only requires one bowl to mix it all together then pour it into the pan and it is ready to bake! It is seriously one of the easiest breakfasts to make!

Ingredients

  • Mixed berries– Fresh or frozen mixed berries with strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are what I tend to use but any type of berry can be used in this recipe. There is no need to thaw your berries either- just bake them from frozen!
  • Oats– This recipe is made with old-fashioned oats to give it a little heartier consistency. Instant oats could work too but may need a little less cooking time and will have a little softer texture.
  • Maple syrup– Pure maple syrup makes this taste so delicious! You could swap it out for brown sugar if you don’t have any syrup on hand.
  • Cinnamon– Ground cinnamon will bring out the flavor in most berries and is a good compliment to the oats as well. Feel free to leave it out though if you prefer.
  • Butter- I highly recommend adding butter to this dish. Not only does it give it such good flavor, but it also helps keep it from becoming rubbery. You can substitute coconut oil if you need it dairy-free.

How To Make Baked Oatmeal

  1. Mix all the ingredients except the fruit: In a large bowl, mix oats, baking powder, salt, egg, butter, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon.
  2. Add the berries: Gently stir in 1 cup of berries. Try not to crush them or they will tend to bleed out and give the oatmeal mixture a blue/purple color. It won’t taste any different though so it’s alright if that happens. Pour it all into a 9×9 or 11×7 inch pan and then top with the remaining berries.
  3. Bake: Bake the oatmeal for about 30 minutes until the center is just set and does not jiggle.
  4. Serve warm: This tastes best when served warm with maple syrup drizzled on top, in a bowl with milk, or just to eat by itself! It still tastes good when cooled if you need to eat it on the go.
  5. Store: Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Variation Ideas

One of the best parts about oatmeal is how many different combinations can be made to taste completely different! Here are just a few topping or mix-in ideas to switch it up:

  • Bananas
  • Spiced apples
  • Peanut butter
  • Jelly
  • Whipped cream
  • Yogurt
  • Brown sugar
  • Toasted coconut
  • Nuts like pecans or almonds
  • Chocolate chips
