ByHugo Harnd February 16, 2026February 16, 2026

Introduction

Blueberry baked oatmeal is a comforting and nutritious breakfast that’s easy to prepare. Packed with ripe bananas, fresh blueberries, and a touch of cinnamon, it’s perfect for busy mornings or a cozy weekend treat. Serve it warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.

The image shows a baked oatmeal dish in a white rectangular baking dish. The oatmeal layer is light brown and slightly golden at the edges, with a soft and moist texture. Scattered evenly on top of this single layer are whole blueberries, some slightly burst and releasing dark purple juice that stains parts of the oatmeal. There are also small pieces of chopped walnuts distributed throughout, adding a rough, textured look. The baking dish sits on a white marbled surface, and a pink cloth is partially visible on the right side. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1½ cups rolled oats
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup Greek yogurt
½ cup milk
¼ cup honey
1 large egg
¼ cup walnuts (chopped)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8 x 8 inch or similar baking dish.
Step 2: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy and well combined.
Step 3: Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure no dry oats remain. Gently fold in 1 cup of the blueberries.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of blueberries evenly over the top, then scatter the chopped walnuts.
Step 5: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a nuttier flavor, try substituting walnuts with pecans or almonds.
Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness profile.
Adding a handful of chia seeds or flaxseeds boosts fiber and omega-3 content.
Swap the blueberries for other fruits like raspberries, strawberries, or sliced apples.

Storage

Store leftover baked oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until warmed through. This dish also freezes well—wrap portions tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How to Serve

A close-up view of a baked oatmeal square lifted by a black spatula shows three main layers: the top layer is golden brown with visible whole walnuts and baked blueberries, the middle layer is soft and moist with purple-blue mashed blueberries and oat texture, and the bottom layer that blends into the white baking dish also filled with oats and scattered blueberries. The dish rests on a white marbled texture surface, with the focus mainly on the square being lifted, showing the moist and dense texture inside photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
