Strawberry Baked Oatmeal

This strawberry baked oatmeal is the perfect summer breakfast and a great meal prep idea for quick and easy mornings!

When it comes to busy mornings, there is nothing quite like a healthy baked oatmeal recipe. Not only is it easy to make and quick to prepare, but once you’ve got the basics down you can honestly flavour baked oatmeal any way that you like. From berries to bananas to pumpkin, there are so many different ways that you can flavour a baked oatmeal recipe and, since it’s always made with 100% whole food ingredients, you can feel confident that you’re eating a healthy breakfast that is good for you.

This strawberry baked oatmeal is made with rolled oats, cinnamon, baking soda, milk, vanilla, eggs and salt, and is naturally sweetened with a touch of maple syrup and strawberries. With the exception of a few ingredients, you can easily swap ingredients to use what you have on hand. I always recommend using rolled oats in a baked oatmeal recipe, because steel-cut oats are too tough and quick-cooking oats will leave you with a mushy texture, however, you could easily swap maple syrup for honey, butter for coconut oil, and include any combination of spices and fruit you like. Not to mention, you can also add ingredients such as nuts, seeds, shredded coconut or chocolate chips for a bit of fun and added flavour.

There are many different ways to serve baked oatmeal. Once cooked, it can be spooned into a bowl on its own, sliced into squares or served with a with a drizzle of milk or a dollop of plain yogurt for an extra hearty and filling meal. Plus, it can be served hot or cold and can easily last up to 5 days in the fridge or can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months making it a great meal prep idea.

Although this strawberry baked oatmeal recipe is intended to be eaten as a healthy make-ahead breakfast, it works equally well as a simple snack idea for adults and kids alike. Regardless of how you choose to eat it, you can’t go wrong with the warm and comforting flavours of a healthy homemade baked oatmeal.

I’ve shared a number of baked oatmeal recipes on the blog before, including my mixed berry baked oatmeal, apple pie baked oatmeal and peach baked oatmeal, so this healthy strawberry baked oatmeal is just another easy make-ahead breakfast you can add to your repertoire.
