Mixed Berry Baked Oatmeal
This fresh take on a tried and true breakfast will knock your socks off. It’s easy to make, it’s comforting, it’s delicious and you can make it ahead of time. I used a bag of frozen mixed berries but you can use any combo you choose, fresh or frozen.
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees F.
Grease a loaf pan with butter. An easy way to do this is by dipping a paper towel into some soft butter, then wiping it into the loaf pan.
This step will help prevent the oats from sticking to the pan. Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees F.

Step 2:
Prepare all of the ingredients.
2 cups of rolled oats. I used sprouted rolled oats.
3 super ripe, medium sized bananas. Brown bananas are the easiest to digest and can be kept in the freezer until you’re ready to use them in baked goods. I always have a few lying around for smoothies and such.
3 large, fresh eggs. You can sub in a vegan alternative (flax-egg) but it will alter the bake results slightly.
3 tablespoons of REAL maple syrup, not the fake stuff! If you are sugar-free or making this for a baby, feel-free to omit the maple syrup all-together.
1 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen berries. I used a frozen berry mix or blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. Frozen berries are frozen at peak ripe-ness and are super convenient.
A pinch of sea salt to balance the flavours.
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to help the oats rise and get fluffy.
Step 3:
Combine the eggs, oats, maple syrup, bananas, salt and baking powder in a blender. I use the Vitamix blender, it is very powerful and creates the silkiest soups and smoothies. I highly suggest getting one!
Step 4:
Blend the ingredients on medium-high speed until they are smooth and creamy. Doing this makes the baked oats come out like a cake, with a beautiful, moist bake.
Step 5:
Gently fold the berries into the blended batter. Be careful not to over-mix. We fold the berries in afterwards so they wont break apart in the batter. If you were to blend the berries into the batter, it would be too wet and wouldn’t bake properly.
Step 6:
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. If you used frozen berries, you may end up with a very pretty marbled batter. That’s a good sign that you didn’t over-mix the berries into the batter.
Step 7:
Bake for 45-55 minutes in the preheated oven. To test it, insert a wooden toothpick or skewer into the middle of the oats. If the skewer comes out almost clean, with only a few crumbs clinging to it, then it’s ready!
Let the baked oats cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve!
Serve as-is, spooned onto plates with maple syrup drizzled over-top.
Or, let the baked oats cool completely. Remove them from the baking pan and cut into squares. This is great for packed lunches or a breakfast on the go.
For babies, cut them according to baby-led weaning standards and watch your little one go to town!
