This Healthy Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts!

Made with only 11 ingredients, (many of which you likely have in your pantry or refrigerator), packed with healthy whole grains, and bursting with sweet blueberries – it feels more like a treat than a nutritious breakfast!

There are few things better on a chilly morning than a big bowl of warm, cozy oatmeal, right?

I love making this Healthy Blueberry Baked Oatmeal on Sunday to have in the fridge for the week ahead. It takes the guesswork out of deciding what to have for breakfast, and it’s just simple to meal prep!

For every ounce of me that loves oatmeal, there is equally the same amount of me that hates washing the pan from the oatmeal after you cook it on the stove.

IDK why, but it’s seriously always so difficult to clean!

Baked oatmeal is significantly better for a number of reasons.

Why we love baked oatmeal:

  • Cook once, eat 4 times! – This means there is only 1 time clean up.
  • Portable – Can be eaten on the go or on a dish!
  • Tastes great cold or warm – I prefer it warm but it’s totally yummy right out of the fridge.
  • Has only 11 ingredients – nothin’ fancy – all pantry staples you probably already have!
  • Takes under an hour to make!

Adding collagen peptides to baked oatmeal/oatmeal in general is one of the best things I started doing. On their own, oats don’t leave me feeling super full.

They’re high in carbs, so usually an hour later I feel hungry. I usually try to pack them with some sort of healthy fats, but adding in Vital Protein’s Collagen Peptides helps add protein so these keep me fuller for longer!

If you’re new here, collagen has a whole slew of benefits that I wrote all about in this post about 6 Reasons Why I Take Collagen. While I love adding it to my coffee… adding it to this Healthy Baked Blueberry Oatmeal  is the perfect way to start any morning. Give it a try!

Baked Oatmeal Substitutions:

  • Fruit substitutions: Baked oatmeal is pretty flexible and you can make a lot of substitutions to it. You can sub in any type of fruit or berry in this recipe. I’d check out this Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal if you’re looking for something a little more decadent!
  • Make it vegan: sub egg for one flax egg, sub honey for maple syrup, make sure to use a dairy free chocolate chip
  • Make it gluten free: make sure you’re using gluten free certified rolled oats.
  • Optional add ins: chopped nuts, more chocolate, shredded coconut, fresh fruit
  • Steel Cut Oats: You can use steel cut oatmeal in this recipe. Use 1 cup of steel cut oats and 2 cups of liquid/milk. We have a Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal recipe that you can also follow!

How long can you keep baked oatmeal for?

You can keep baked oatmeal stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you don’t plan to eat it before then, I would slice it, wrap into individual pieces and place them in the freezer. Then you can just quickly defrost when needed!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • In a mixing bowl, stir all dry ingredients until combined. 
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut oil, egg, honey + milk.
  • Combine wet + dry ingredients. Fold in blueberries with a spatula to prevent them from bursting
  • Pour batter in a greased 8x8 pan - it will look like there is too much liquid, but it will absorb.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until top is golden brown and milk is completely absorbed. Enjoy warm or cold!
  • Store in an airtight container in refrigerator

    This actually looks like one of those premade breakfasts I’d actually eat! Not a fan of leftover breakfasts that involve eggs… But this looks delicious!

    This looks ridiculously delicious yet easy to make and I think my daughters will love it. You cannot go wrong with the antioxidant potent blueberry. Pinning this for later. I love your recipes 🙂

    Oh my yum! This looks soo good and easy to make. Pinned! Can’t wait to try it.

    I’m with ya on the spring weather. I’m in NY visiting my family and we woke up to a little snow yesterday too. Definitely a bummer since it’s been so nice for the past couple weeks! Here’s hoping for warm weather very soon!

    Blueberries in oatmeal are my favorite thing in the world! I absolutely agree that overnight oats don’t have that nice stove-top flavor. But, baked oatmeal is wonderful for serving for multiple people or when you’re too lazy to stir and stir!

    Why does the weather NEVER work out the way we think it will. Today i checked my weather app in Calgary and it said “ICE FOG”
    ummmm ice fog is not a real thing, and definitely should not be happening during Spring.
    Totally into this oatmeal bake tho, it makes me feel a little bit better about the cold haha

    This is one of my favorite recipes that I’ve gotten from you. It’s part of my weekly Sunday meal prep. So easy and so delicious. I’ve made it so many times, I have the recipe memorized.
    I also just made your Mediterranean orzo chicken. So delicious, too.
    Thank you for these easy healthy meals!

    Good flavor. I did not use almond milk (used lactose free Fair Life milk) and had to cook longer than 40minutes in order for the bake to solidify.
