Ingredients for Berry Oatmeal Casserole

• Oats– Oatmeal works best in this baked oatmeal
• milk– We used 2% milk, but any non-dairy substitute works great here too.
• mixed berries– We used frozen mixed berries.
• maple syrup– Some maple syrup brings out the sweetness of the berries.
• eggs– The eggs help add structure and a bit of protein!
• butter– For wealth. Coconut oil is good too!

• Cinammon– Adds a warm flavor that beautifully balances the berries.
• baking powder– Adds lightness and improves texture.

Tips & Suggestions

Can I make baked oatmeal the night before?

Yes! Assemble the oatmeal as directed, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake in the morning according to the recipe.

Can I make baked oatmeal without eggs?

You can omit the eggs in this recipe, but you lose some of the structure that the eggs provide. You’ll end up with softer (but still delicious) baked oats. Adding a tablespoon of flaxseed flour to your oat mix can help ensure your baking is egg-free.

Can I Freeze Leftover Berry Oatmeal Bake?

Leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze individual servings in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can I use other fruits in this oatmeal casserole?

Absolutely! Try banana, mango, peach, plum or any combination of berries you like. This recipe is super adaptable and delicious in pretty much any combination.
