Blueberry baked oatmeal in baking dish

Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts. I love eating a warm, cozy bowl of quinoa oatmeal or crockpot steel cut oats, but I’ll gladly eat it any way, shape or form.

Years ago I created this recipe for blueberry overnight oats, and it became the inspiration for this Blueberry Baked Oatmeal.

If you’ve every had baked oatmeal before, you know that it can be somewhat dry and dense.

This recipe is nothing like that because the oats soften overnight in liquid, then they’re baked the next day to fluffy perfection. 

If that’s not enough, they’re topped with a golden brown streusel that takes it completely over the top.

This is the ultimate breakfast for oatmeal lovers like me. 🙂

Ingredient notes

  • Sweetener. The sweeteners I’ve used may be substituted with your favorite sweetener in the oats and the streusel.

  • Coconut oil. The coconut oil in the streusel may be substituted with melted butter.

How to make blueberry baked oats

There are two components to this recipe — overnight oats and a streusel topping.

The oats are prepped the night before, where they will absorb the liquid and soften. This results in the fluffiest baked oatmeal ever.

Pro tip: The streusel topping may be made up to a few days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use. It may also be omitted entirely if you prefer!

See the recipe card below for full instructions.
