I’m a breakfast person. In fact I couldn’t even begin to pick a favorite breakfast food…I love them all. French toast made with thick, eggy bread and covered in maple syrup…the real stuff! Buckwheat pancakes with a side of crisp bacon. Omelettes loaded with fresh vegetables and cheese. And when in a hurry, a steaming hot bowl of oatmeal. Without much more effort one can make baked oatmeal. If you’ve never had baked oatmeal you really must try it. It’s oatmeal…but more sophisticated…yet down to earth…I don’t know, it’s just good. This Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is divine. I adapted the recipe from one I found on Tasty Kitchen. I used egg and dairy substitutes so that is how I wrote the recipe but you could certainly use eggs, butter, and milk. I’m planning on trying it that way when I can and I’d love to know how it works for you!
This oatmeal was a hit with my kids as well. They polished off their bowls in record time and wanted to know when we were going to make it again!
Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
- 1 1/4 cups blueberries
- 3/4 cup soy milk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 large eggs (I used egg replacer)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ¾ cups butter, divided (I used Earth balance)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 4 tbsp. brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350° F. Melt butter; pour 1/4 cup into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle blueberries and 2 tbsp of brown sugar on top of the butter. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy milk, honey, eggs, remaining butter and vanilla.
In a large bowl, whisk together oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour over the fruit and smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp. of brown sugar.
Bake at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes, or until browned on top and fruit is bubbly. Allow to cool slightly. Serve with milk or cream. This would also be fantastic topped with a dollop of vanilla yogurt.

This looks AMAZING! I seriously have to try baked oatmeal. Especially this kind!
Thanks! Baked oatmeal is really good!
Baked oatmeal is the best. Love the addition of blueberries!
Thanks Maria…the blueberries were really good!
baked oatmeal is a pretty appealing dish, but you’ve knocked it out of the park by adding blueberries. it’s automatically more tasty, photogenic, and nutritious!
I found this on tastespotting and I just made it. It was seriously amazing! I didn’t have any baking powder and used quick oats and it was still good! thank you for sharing this awesome recipe!
I’m so glad you liked it!!
This was great! I have another baked oatmeal recipe I typically use, but this has less than half the milk, making for a drier, less mushy breakfast. The other recipe *had* to be microwaved or just was too slimy, but this was fabulous at room temperature. Also, the brown sugar on the top and the bottom was genius! Gave a nice extra jolt of sweetness without having to add a ton to the batter. I’ll be trying this with other fruits, too, although I think blueberries might become my fave. Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to try it with peaches! Let me know if you try any other fruits. Thanks for the comment:-)
I’ve already made this 3 times in the last week & a half. It’s so good! Thanks for sharing!
Emily – I love this too! Thanks for letting me know how much you like it as well!
Can we use a butter substitute? I’m trying to lower my cholesterol.
Brittany – a butter substitute will work great in this! That’s what I use in it since my boys’ are allergic to dairy.
We make baked oatmeal every week and I am always looking for ways to switch it up. Your blueberry version looks divine! Great photography too!
I posted a link to your page in my post about baked oatmeal today. Can’t wait to try your recipe!

This recipe is fantastic! I substituted 1/4 cup of agave nectar for the recommended 1/2 cup of honey to get the same sweetness without as much sweetener and it was excellent. I could eat the whole batch at once. And I wrote about it on my blog, linking out to your blog and to this recipe, and people seem really interested. Can’t wait to try more of your food!

Hi Jamie,
This is one of my favorite recipes! I’m so glad you liked it:-)
My husband had a Blueberry,Raspberry Oat Bake when we were in Maine and it was delicious-they would not tell us the recipe, but it had Oatmeal, Trail mix, Brown Sugar, The two berries, Maple Syrup. Served it in a bowl with milk. Just wondering if you had a recipe using these ingredients? I am sure this is not all the ingredients. Can you help me out with this? I have never tried baked oatmeal before. Thanks Earlene
