A colorful and wholesome baked oatmeal featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, Greek yogurt, and a hint of cinnamon. Perfect for a quick, nourishing breakfast or a festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (135 g)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (240 ml)
  • 1 cup milk, any kind (240 ml)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, melted (30 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to distribute evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil until smooth.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh strawberries and blueberries, reserving a few berries for topping.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the reserved berries.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the texture is firm. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain well to prevent sogginess. Rest baked oatmeal for 10 minutes before serving for better texture. For vegan version, replace egg with flax egg, use plant-based yogurt and milk, and swap butter for coconut oil. Cover with foil if top browns too quickly. Adding chopped nuts or seeds on top before baking adds crunch.
