Nothing like starting off the new year with a lil’ healthy recipe, right? This berry baked oatmeal is one of my new favorite breakfasts to meal prep for the week. It perfectly fits in my 8×8″ casserole dish and makes six servings. Stuff it with blueberries and raspberries and you have yourself a delicious cake-like baked oatmeal ready for the week!
One of my favorite things about this recipe is how it uses up a ripe banana! So if you have a banana going brown ready to use, you’ll want to make this berry baked oatmeal. The banana doesn’t have an overpowering taste—just gives it an extra sweetness instead of drowning this berry baked oatmeal in sugar.
And speaking of sugar, we’re keeping it light in this recipe. The entire baked oatmeal is only made with 1/4 cup of maple syrup, keeping each serving light in sugar while relying on the extra fruit to give it that touch of sweetness. Trust me, it still tastes like a divine maple oatmeal that you love, without all of that added brown sugar. A win, win, if you ask me.
If you plan on eating something else with this baked oatmeal—like scrambled eggs or a protein shake—split the baked oatmeal into nine smaller squares. The oatmeal is rather filling for a breakfast on its own, so you’ll want a smaller piece if you’re enjoying it with something else.
