Baked Oatmeal with Fruit

July 22, 2014 by Meghan 5 Comments

When it comes to breakfast, I need to switch things up fairly often or else I get bored. I have decided that I can’t eat the same thing more than a few weeks in a row without getting really bored with it. That means that I need to have plenty of options in my breakfast rotation. This baked oatmeal with fruit was just added to the rotation a few weeks ago and instantly become a favorite. I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to make my own oatmeal. Like so many other things, I should have known that homemade oatmeal would be so, so much better than the store-bought varieties.

A breakfast food needs to meet a few criteria in order to be a regular in my breakfast rotation. First, it must be healthy. I like to eat a healthy breakfast and lunch most of the time so that I can eat what I want for dinner and dessert (mainly lots of Italian and Mexican food). Second, it needs to be quick and easy to prepare. This baked oatmeal is both of these things- and as a bonus it is highly customizable and can be made with whatever fruits and nuts you happen to have around the house.

Yield: 3-4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted, divided
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 large ripe bananas, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (fresh or frozen), divided
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, half the pecans, baking powder, ground cinnamon and salt. Whisk together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract.
  4. Place the bananas in a single layer across the bottom of the baking dish. Top the bananas with half the blueberries. Evenly sprinkle the oat mixture over the fruit and then pour the liquid mixture over the oats. Sprinkle the remaining pecans and blueberries on top.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top of the oatmeal has browned and the oats are set. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

    I tend to get bored with breakfasts, too – though it takes me a lot longer to feel the burn out. Sometimes I’ll go months with eating the same breakfast day in and day out, and then one day BAM – I can’t even look at it any more! This oatmeal looks fabulous! I really should make my own more often.

    I also get into such breakfast ruts and this looks like the perfect solution! Lately I’ve been trying buckwheat groats (soaked overnight) and blended in with my smoothie. So tasty! Baked oatmeal makes me happy because I can eat it all week long 🙂
