Can I use other fruit instead for this baked oatmeal?

Absolutely! I used blueberries and bananas because that is what I had on hand, but I can see this being made with a variety of fruits!

The possibilities are endless. Maybe try it with apples? I’d be super into that as apples are my favorite fruit. Strawberries will also work. You could even add strawberries into this combo instead.

What Ingredients Go Into this Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

For this particular recipe, I used blueberries and bananas as my fruits but you can use strawberries, blackberries, apples, or even peaches.

I know after this is all gone I will be making more. This is a great way to get some more fruits into your diet. You could also add some flaxseed meal for a fiber boost or some chia seeds to up those omega 3’s.

How to make baked oatmeal?

Baked oatmeal is so quick and easy to make. You gather your ingredients (more on that below!) and put it together in a bowl making sure that the oatmeal is coated evenly.

Then you throw it in a baking dish and bake it in the oven.

How To Store Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

It’s delicious right away but can absolutely be heated up later.

I store it in the glass dish that I made the oatmeal bake in. The one I have came with a lid so it’s perfect for this purpose.

I often eat this the next day and for breakfast for almost a full week.

I love oatmeal, but I rarely have time in the morning to make anything. Having a tray of this ready to go is a lifesaver. All I have to do is scoop it into a bowl and warm it up at the office.
