This Berry Baked Oatmeal is the perfect meal prep breakfast! Sweet and full of healthy ingredients, this will last you the whole week!

Meal prep gets me through my week, and I’ve become obsessed with creating new recipes.

Every Sunday afternoon, I make a breakfast for my family to eat all week long. It’s so much easier than making something every single morning; especially if we have to wake up early for work or school.

Baked oatmeal is a staple here, and this Berry Baked Oatmeal is a new favorite. It’s sweet, soft, and full of healthy ingredients to keep us full all morning long.

Ingredients

• Rolled oats- Full of heart-healthy fiber
• Chia seeds- Contains Omega-3 fats and fiber, to keep you full
• Baking powder
• Cinnamon
• Salt
• Greek yogurt- Extra protein!
• Eggs
• Milk
• Honey
• Frozen mixed berries

Other Additions and Substitutions

Need to make some changes? No problem! Here are some things you can try instead:

• Milk: Use a non-dairy milk like almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk
• Honey: Use maple syrup instead
• Berries: If you don’t like the triple berry blend, you can use just blueberries or another of your favorites
• Fresh berries: You also don’t need to use frozen berries! If you can find fresh berries in-season, you can opt for those instead.

Which Oats Are Best in This Recipe?

I definitely recommend only using rolled oats, also called old fashioned oats. They’re firm and have the best texture once baked.

Quick oats can become mushy, and steel cut oats need a lot more liquid so you’d need an entirely different recipe.

Baked Oatmeal vs. Overnight Oats

Oatmeal bakes and overnight oats can be made with similar ingredients, but have entirely different ingredients and textures!

• Baked oatmeal is baked in the oven and uses standard baking ingredients like baking powder.
• Overnight oats are basically a bowl of oatmeal served cold.

For overnight oats, you typically combine ingredients in a jar and store in the fridge overnight. The oats soak up the liquid and become creamy like regular oatmeal.

One of my current favorites are these Chunky Monkey Overnight Oats!

How to Make Berry Oatmeal Bake

Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In the same bowl, add the yogurt, eggs, milk, and honey. Mix thoroughly, then add the frozen berries and fold them in.

Bake and serve

Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8 casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is browned and the center is firm.

Cut into 6 slices and serve.

How to Store

Once the baked oatmeal has cooled to room temperature, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll keep for 5-7 days.

What to Serve With This

I recommend having some kind of protein with this baked oatmeal! It’s already got a little bit of protein from the Greek yogurt, but I like having something extra as well.

Here are some examples:

• Cottage cheese
• Scrambled eggs
• Sausage links (I like turkey sausage)
• Extra Greek yogurt
