Mixed Berry Baked Oatmeal – Barefoot in the Kitchen

Baked oatmeal, filled with berries and topped with brown sugar, is a great way to start the day. This Berry Baked Oatmeal has been a favorite for over a decade!

This oatmeal recipe is not too sweet, allowing the umami flavor of the berries to shine through. Berries are a mainstay in my refrigerator. We eat them plain most of the time, but they also make a great addition to countless recipes.

One day I had some stuff that needed to be used up and baked oatmeal sounded like the perfect way to make sure the berries didn’t go to waste. I love the convenience of baked oatmeal for an easy breakfast to prepare in the morning.

Baked oatmeal will keep in the refrigerator for several days. And it reheats perfectly in the microwave. I like to add a tablespoon or so of water to my cold oatmeal to help it evaporate and soften a bit as it warms. My kids like their baked oatmeal a little crispier on top, so they skip the water.

I try not to add too much sugar when making oatmeal. When serving, if the finished oatmeal needs sweetening, just sprinkle it with a little honey or maple syrup to easily sweeten it for your taste.

Oatmeal is one of my kids’ favorite breakfasts, and we’ve collected a ton of delicious oatmeal recipes over the past few years. I just checked and here are 46 oatmeal recipes! Gosh, we obviously love oatmeal.

Slow Cooker Oatmeal with Berries, Bananas and Pecans, Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal, and Stovetop Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal are just a few of the recipes we make on a regular basis.

Not to mention, homemade instant oatmeal mix has a permanent place in our pantries. Did you know you can make granola in a slow cooker? So simple!

My youngest son loves oatmeal so much that for a while he was trying to order it at almost every restaurant we went to. There’s nothing better than watching the waiter’s face when your kid asks for “a big bowl of oatmeal, please.” Luckily, he loves chips and salsa almost equally, so it’s easy to distract him.
