Baked oatmeal is an easy and delicious way to start your morning with a healthy breakfast. This version features fresh, juicy blueberries and a squeeze of lemon… one of my favorite combinations! It also reheats beautifully so you can enjoy a good breakfast all week long.

Last year I made my first batch of baked oatmeal (apple cinnamon… yum!), but it’s been awhile since I’ve tried any new flavors. So yesterday I started brainstorming what kind I wanted to try next, and before I knew it, I had half a page full of ideas. Apparently, I LOVE me some oatmeal.

I went to the store, picked up a huge container of oats, and went on a little oatmeal binge for the afternoon. A drinking binge at 11:00 am on a Thursday afternoon just didn’t seem like the responsible thing to do. 😉 I narrowed my list down to the top 3 flavors I wanted to try first and asked on Instagram which recipe you guys wanted to see the most. (We’re friends on Instagram, right??)

The winner was this amazing blueberry lemon baked oatmeal, and I have to say that you guys were totally right! The combination of sweet, cinnamon oatmeal mixed with juicy blueberries and a fresh, bright squeeze of lemon turned out to be my and Wyatt’s favorite too… but that’s no real surprise when this kid has been sucking on lemon wedges since he was just a year old. There is NOTHING funnier than watching a baby take a bite of lemon and make the world’s most adorable pucker face! I know… #parentsoftheyear

For those of you who haven’t tried baked oatmeal before, here’s a few reason why I love it so much:

  • It feeds a crowd. Most of the baked oatmeal recipes I make will serve about 6 people, which is perfect for our family. We each get a piece and have some for leftovers!
  • Speaking of leftovers… this stuff reheats BEAUTIFULLY. I like to bake a batch or two of oatmeal on the weekend and have a warm, healthy breakfast all week long. Just store it covered in the fridge and microwave a portion when you need a quick breakfast. If it gets a little dry on you (mine usually doesn’t), just stir in a splash of milk before reheating.

I’ve tried some baked oatmeal recipes are more of a dry oatmeal bar than a soft, creamy bowl of oatmeal. That’s not what we’re going for here, folks. I make my recipe with plenty of liquid so that it comes out of the oven soft and creamy, but it’s still thick enough that you can cut and serve it into pretty pieces. I’m thinking this would be AWESOME for Easter brunch!

FYI, I plugged this recipe into My Fitness Pal (one of my favorite apps!), and it says this oatmeal will run you about 240 calories per serving. Not too shabby!

I hope you REALLY enjoy this baked oatmeal recipe, because I have about 897 more flavor ideas floating around in my head… What flavors would you like to see next??

    We have an abundance of blueberries from a farmer’s market last year that we froze. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy them! Thank you so much!

    Could you use steel cut oats for this recipe?

      Hi Amanda! Yes, you can use steel cut oats, but the cooking time and texture may be slightly different. You’ll have to let me know how it turns out!

    It doesn’t just look yummy, it is yummy. I highly recommend giving it a try. The texture of the oats is perfect while the oatmeal itself is creamy. My blueberries came from the farmer’s market and were actually sweet enough that I could have reduced or even eliminated the sugar. I have put this into small containers to take it to work a couple of days. I am also going to freeze a serving to see how it does. I’ll let you know.
