    Strawberry Baked Oatmeal

    Strawberry Baked Oatmeal is the perfect weekday breakfast. Whole-grain oats, juicy strawberries and a hint of brown sugar combine for this grab-and-go breakfast that can be enjoyed hot or cold.

    One thing that has made my day easier as a mom is having something prepared ahead of time for breakfast.

    This Strawberry Baked Oatmeal uses pantry and fridge staples along with frozen berries for an easy and healthy breakfast. I developed this recipe because my kids love oatmeal but, if you turn your back on a toddler and a bowl of oatmeal it can get real messy, real fast.

    By baking the oatmeal, it holds together better and seems easier for little hands to manage. This can be reheated in approximately 20 seconds to reach the perfect temperature for a hangry toddler leaving you enough time to sit and finish your cup of coffee.

    INGREDIENTS

    • Oatmeal – Two cups of old-fashioned oats. 
    • Brown Sugar – For a hint of sweetness. 
    • Cinnamon
    • Baking Powder
    • Salt
    • Milk - I use whole milk for a richer taste but you can easily substitute 1% or 2% milk.
    • Eggs – Two eggs
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Butter - Uses just two tablespoons of melted butter.
    • Strawberries – This recipe is tested with frozen sliced strawberries. See tips below on partially thawing strawberries before baking. 

    Tips on using frozen strawberries to make baked oatmeal 

    I prefer to partially defrost the frozen sliced strawberries for one minute in the microwave before assembling the oatmeal. Be sure to drain the excess juice. If you only have whole frozen strawberries they will work as well, but there will be some color discoloration after baking. 

    Assembling Strawberry Baked Oats

    1. Layer one cup of sliced strawberries in baking dish.
    2. Spread dry oat mixture (oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking powder) evenly over strawberries.
    3. Next, pour wet mixture into baking dish.
    4. Evenly top with remaining sliced strawberries.

    Optional Add-Ins

    • Top with pecans or walnuts
    • Sprinkle in ground flax or chia seeds for some extra fiber.
    • Use frozen mixed berries

    Serving and Storage

    Serve Strawberry Baked Oatmeal warm or cold. I like to top with plain greek yogurt. Some readers have shared that they like to have it as a healthy dessert option.

    Cut baked oatmeal l into squares after it has cooled. Store in air-tight container in fridge, best if consumed within five days. Extras can also be frozen.

      I just put this dish in the oven! I wanted to add a protein but my husband is not a fan of nuts in his oatmeal.... So I added one cup of shredded coconut! Praying this turns out to be a delicious brunch item at our house! Thanks!!

        I had another reader who added coconut and said it was delicious, I'll have to try it myself. I like to serve mine with a little greek yogurt on the side for protein. Hope all enjoyed, thank you!

        Hi Mary - I have never tried freeze dried strawberries in this recipe. If you use dried strawberries I would recommend increasing the amount of milk.
