Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Now that the weather is getting cooler and morning runs are getting longer, I am ready for a little breakfast switch up. I have always wanted to enjoy eating oatmeal but could not find the right combination of taste and texture until now. This Berry-licious Oatmeal Breakfast Bake hits the spot and could not be easier to meal prep and enjoy all week.
Berry-licious Oatmeal Breakfast Bake
I’ve always felt that if I start off the day with a healthy nutritious breakfast, it sets the tone for the whole day. Not everyone has the time to whip up something every morning. That’s what makes this Berry-licious Oatmeal Breakfast Bake so fantastic. You can easily bake it ahead of time and enjoy it all week. It warms up just perfectly in the microwave.
Did I mention that this nutritious breakfast has no added sugar at all and only a few real ingredients? Steel cut oatmeal, bananas, berries, eggs and milk of your choice. Throw in a dash of salt, vanilla and baking powder and you’ve got yourself a power packed Berry-licious Oatmeal Breakfast Bake.
After a few recipe trials, I’ve found the simplest way to prepare this Berry-licious Oatmeal Breakfast Bake is to use frozen mixed berries and a fresh banana. This time of the year, the frozen berries are tastier and more economical. Also ensures that you always have them on hand. I’ve used a blend of frozen strawberries, blackberries and blueberries but any blend will work just fine.

I love that this is sweetened only with fruit! There is nothing like a warm bowl of oatmeal on a chilly morning to start the day right.
I have really tried to cut out sugar where ever I can and I don’t need it at breakfast
Yum! I love oatmeal and I love berries so this recipe is a win-win for me!
Thanks so much! Perfect runner fuel
This looks yummy. I always enjoy oatmeal more when the weather cools down.
Yes me too-definitely a fall or winter food for me too
Love reading your recipes. This one I actually have all the ingredients – if only I had the time. Someday.
It literally takes 5 min to get this into the oven. You can do it!
Wish I would have had this waiting for me this morning for breakfast! Instead I had a pretty boring, but delicious, bowl of oats.
You always have the best looking breakfasts and toasts!
I love warm oatmeal bakes in the winter!
Me too thanks for checking it out
I’m not the biggest fan ever of traditional oatmeal or overnight oats but this bake just might be the answer. It looks so good!
So I don’t care for overnight oats bc they are cold. To me, oatmeal should be warm. Hope you give it a try.
How tasty is this!!?? I love baked oatmeal and the berries in this are perfect. Thanks for hosting.

I’ve never made an oatmeal bake but I think my family would really enjoy this! Looks delicious!
This looks so good! I always forget about using fresh berries for things in the winter but this looks delicious.
Frozen berries are really quite good especially in something like this. Hope you try it
