Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • It’s so easy to make – it only takes about five minutes to prep this dish!
  • It is so tasty! This was a huge hit in our house!
  • It’s perfect for meal prep for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
  • It’s great if you are making breakfast or brunch for a crowd – it easily serves eight!
  • It’s naturally gluten-free.

What oats are best for baking?

I used rolled oats in this baked oatmeal, and I find them the best for baking. They are whole, flatten oats that have a nice chewy texture. Quick oats are are similar, but they are cut into smaller pieces, so their texture is more delicate when baked. Old fashioned oats will result in a heartier texture.

Why You Should Meal-Prep This Recipe

This recipe is so perfect for make ahead breakfasts. The leftovers keep for several days in the refrigerator for easy to grab breakfasts throughout the week. Simply reheat a portion in the oven or microwave with a splash of milk.

If you are planning on serving this as a breakfast or brunch to a large crowd, you can make it the night before, keep it covered in the fridge and then bake in the morning before you serve it.

Is this a healthy breakfast?

Oatmeal is a great breakfast choice – oats are one of the healthiest grains yo can incorporate into your diet! They are a great source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and they keep you satisfied until lunch. Health benefits include lowering blood sugar levels, weight loss and management and a reducing the risk of heart disease.

Chef’s Tips

  • You could probably make this breakfast vegan by substituting 2 flax eggs for the eggs, using coconut oil instead of butter, and using a plant-based milk.
  • If you are gluten intolerant, be sure to check that the oats are GF certified.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Silicone spatula
  • 9×13 baking dish

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease baking dish with butter or coconut oil. Set dish aside.
  • Add oats, maple syrup, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • When oatmeal mixture is just combined, add blueberries and gently fold blueberries into oatmeal mixture, being careful not to overstir.
  • Transfer mixture into 9×13 baking dish. Gently spread oatmeal mixture out across bottom of baking dish in one even layer, making sure to press mixture into corners of dish.
  • Place baking dish in preheated oven. Bake oatmeal mixture 30 minutes, then check doneness. Continue baking as needed, checking doneness every 1 to 2 minutes, until top of baked oatmeal is golden brown and crisp. Bake time shouldn't exceed 45 minutes total, but times will vary from one kitchen to another.
  • When oatmeal is fully baked, carefully remove baking dish from oven. Let cool slightly, then slice baked oatmeal into 9 equally-sized bars. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries without defrosting, increase cook time by 5 minutes or so. Frozen blueberries will release moisture that may affect the texture of the baked oatmeal.
  • Leftovers: Let baked oatmeal cool completely, then transfer leftover bars to airtight container. Refrigerate up to 5 days. Reheat individual bars in microwave before serving, or serve chilled.
