No better way to make breakfast than to make one that lasts for days ahead and this mixed berry baked oatmeal does exactly that. Made with fresh or frozen berries, this mixed berry baked oatmeal is a great make-ahead meal for busy mornings.
Triple Berry Baked Oatmeal
I’m all about make-ahead meals lately; cook once and eat all week long is the name of the game for me right now. Although some people don’t love eating the same thing over and over, I personally don’t mind at all, especially when it comes to breakfast. Because so many of us are tight on time in the morning having something we can pull together quickly really helps to get us out the door and reduce that morning stress. Oatmeal is always a great breakfast choice, but for those mornings you just don’t have the time to turn on the stove and get the oats cooking, baked oatmeal is a delicious make-ahead meal that will store in the fridge or freezer for days or weeks to come.
Classic baked oatmeal recipes are often loaded with added sugar, so to make a healthy version of baked oatmeal I opted to sweeten it with natural sugars from a combination of berries, maple syrup. and a little cinnamon. This baked oatmeal is not overly sweet, so if you wanted to add a little extra sweetness or flavor once it is cooked, a splash of almond milk, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup help to make this mixed berry baked oatmeal a delicious morning meal.

I love this baked oatmeal dish and make it regularly. It’s a really tasty, comforting and filling breakfast. That being said I’ve also eaten it for a pre/post workout snack too.
★★★★★
Delicious recipe. I mixed the berries in the oatmeal rather than on top. Yeah I’m a rebel.

I have started making a large pan of these for my family on a weekly basis. We all love it! I recommend it to everyone!! Even the 2 year old!
One thing I have a question about is if anyone had experience with doubling it and it taking on too much of an “egg” flavor because of it being 2 eggs instead of one. I’m wondering if I can just do one instead of two without it messing up the consistency.
★★★★★
I’m so happy you and the family enjoy it, thank you so much for sharing! Doubling the recipe shouldn’t alter the flavour as the ratios remain the same. 🙂
I love making this ahead & heating it in microwave . Very. Very tasty!
As it’s so hot now can I cook in the crockpot?
If so, your recommendations
★★★★★
So happy you like it! I have not tested it in the crockpot but I’m sure it can be done!
Yes, I doubled it when I made it for the first time tonight & it definitely had a very eggy flavor. I’ll see what the real critics think tomorrow morning 🤞
