A comforting and wholesome baked oatmeal featuring fresh berries and crunchy nuts, perfect for cozy mornings and easy breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (160g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 225g) fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1/2 cup (about 60g) chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together evenly.
  3. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil until combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Add a splash more milk if too dry.
  5. Fold in most of the fresh berries and chopped nuts, reserving some to sprinkle on top.
  6. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and spread the oatmeal mixture evenly. Sprinkle reserved nuts and berries on top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats. Room temperature eggs and milk help blend ingredients better. Do not overmix to avoid dense texture. Fresh berries keep shape better than frozen; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess juice. Watch baking time to avoid overbaking. Let oatmeal rest after baking to firm up. Toast nuts lightly before adding for extra flavor. For vegan version, replace egg with flaxseed egg and use plant-based milk and coconut oil.
