Blueberry Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal
This Blueberry Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal is a wholesome, nutritious and reminiscent of morning glory muffins! It’s a great meal prep breakfast or brunch recipe that everyone will love!
Good morning! I can’t think of a nicer way to greet you after a holiday weekend than with this wholesome, hearty Blueberry Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal.
The title has the words rise and shine written all over it, so it’s the perfect way to start the day. It completely made me excited to get out of bed!
I’ve loved morning glory muffins forever, so I decided to create a delicious spin. Needless to say it was devoured by everyone in the house!
If you’ve never had a morning glory muffin, they include grated apple and carrot, and often contain raisins, nuts, and coconut.
It’s very similar to carrot cake flavors, which I find irresistible.
I decided to swap out the raisins for fresh blueberries, and they’re so much better than raisins in this baked oatmeal.
Blueberries are my favorite breakfast fruit hands down. I love them in my blueberry overnight oats, oat flour pancakes and of course my blueberry banana smoothie.
The way those plump blueberries burst and ooze all over this baked oatmeal only makes it more inviting too, doesn’t it?
The grated carrot and apple add a slightly chewy texture to this baked oatmeal, which I love. On top of that, we have pecan pieces and coconut flakes all toasty and golden brown, which gives this a nice crunch factor.
This morning glory baked oatmeal is just packed with so many things I love. 🙂

Delicious oatmeal recipe. I loved the crunchy coconut and carrots.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback!
could you use frozen blueberries instead?
Yes — that’s actually what I used here! Just thaw them slightly and blot gently with a paper towel to avoid excess liquid.
Wow, this sounds delicious Marcie, healthy recipe for morning breakfast. 🙂
