This Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is like having cake for breakfast! It's super easy to make, filling, and perfect for mornings when you're craving something a little more decadent.
Regular Oatmeal vs Baked Oatmeal
There's something magical about baked oatmeal. It's a combination of oatmeal and cake you can eat for breakfast and I'm all here for it!
Regular oatmeal is a great everyday breakfast option. Check out my favorite flavor and one of the most popular recipes on the blog, this Pineapple Vanilla Oatmeal!
Baked oatmeal actually takes less effort than the stove top version! All you need to do is mix all the ingredients and bake them in the oven. No constant stirring and checking. It may take a little longer to cook in the oven but it's so worth the wait.

The best part is this Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is incredibly versatile!
- Don't have blueberries? Raspberries work just as well!
- Make it even more filling by adding your favorite nut butter to the batter!
- Optional toppings: Berries, mango, nuts, seeds, nut butter, chopped chocolate, yogurt, Raw Chocolate Sauce, or turn it into a dessert and add ice cream!
Special Tips:
- Add chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips to the batter. It makes it taste like a dessert!
- The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon coconut flour or ¼ cup almond flour. This is optional but recommended. The baked oatmeal will have a more cakelike texture after baking. What's better than having cake for breakfast?
