    A quick to put together breakfast, this Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is a delicious treat for your family. Sweet blueberries, soft oatmeal and loaded with cinnamon flavor. Such a great way to enjoy oatmeal on a cold morning.

    Ready for breakfast? This Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is warm on a cold morning.

    Oatmeal in the morning is a staple in most households. My kids (and husband) enjoy oatmeal and I'm glad because it is so good for them.

    I don't care for it, I think it is a texture thing. However, I LOVE this Blueberry Baked Oatmeal recipe.

    In fact, my whole family does and I would guess, your family will too.

    Ingredients

    What I like most about this recipe, is it's delicious flavor, of course, but the simple ingredients involved.

    • oatmeal
    • brown sugar
    • cinnamon
    • baking powder
    • milk (or almond milk)
    • applesauce
    • butter
    • vanilla
    • egg
    • blueberries

    Quick oats vs rolled oats

    The difference between quick oats and rolled (or old fashioned oats) is quick oats is cut more, steamed more and rolled thinner. They will also cook quicker.

    Old fashioned oats are larger and rolled into flakes. They take longer to cook.

    The difference in which oats to use, is up to you. I prefer to use rolled oats for this recipe as I feel they hold up better while cooking.

    The rolled oats do take longer to cook in this oatmeal bake verses the quick oats. The time you have to make this may play a factor in what type of oats you use.

    Instructions

    Dry ingredients for the oatmeal bake in a red bowl.
    The dry ingredients mixed and ready.

    In this recipe, you only need to mix the dry ingredients together, then mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

    Don't you love recipes like that?

    The wet ingredients will mix better if you start them out in a separate bowl then add them to the dry ingredients.

    If you are impatient like I am, you can add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredient bowl and just stir. The only problem you may run into is if the egg doesn't get mixed well enough.

    Other than that, it is fine. I decided to live dangerously and mixed the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients without using a separate bowl.

    Adding the blueberries to the mix!

    The blueberries will be added next, after the ingredients are mixed together thoroughly. The blueberries can be fresh or added frozen. Both will work well.

    The bake

    To bake this breakfast recipe (or it can be a breakfast for supper!), bake at 375 degrees. How long? Well, that depends on your oats.

    If you use quick oats, it will take about 30 minutes. If you use rolled oats, it will take 40-45 minutes.

    This is also baked in a square 9 inch casserole dish. It can also be baked in a 9x13 if you want to double the recipe.

    Substitutions

    This recipe is so versatile!

    Blueberries are used in this recipe, but you can certainly use apples, peaches or a combination of all three. Do you like nuts? A lot of people use pecans as a topping to this oatmeal bake.

    Most of my family would frown at that, so I didn't add it.

    FAQ

    Can I use oil in place of the applesauce?

    Yes you can, but it will certainly add more calories and fat to the recipe.

    Can I use chunky applesauce instead of smooth?

    Yes! In fact, it is a great way to add a little texture and apple flavor without having to cut up apples.

    Can the oatmeal bake be made ahead of time?

    Yes, it can. Make the oatmeal bake as listed above, but don't bake it. Then cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. Bake as normal in the morning.

    Storage

    If you have leftovers, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat when ready to eat.
