Triple berry baked oatmeal. This quick and easy berry oatmeal bake is going to be your new favorite breakfast.
I have a slight problem. I’m breastfeeding and struggling to produce enough. One of the things that helps is oatmeal. But I can only eat so many of those little packets. So I’ve been experimenting with different ways to make oatmeal. And stumbled across this berry version that I’m in serious love with.
This dish is made the morning you’re eating it. If you’re looking for an overnight breakfast casserole, check out my Sioux Falls Soufflé.
The original version of this recipe is on Julie’s Eat & Treats. I’m going to be honest…hers is the healthy version. Mine is the “uses ‘regular’ ingredients and adds brown sugar” version. So, if you’re looking for a healthy version, check out hers. If you’re looking for a sweet version of triple berry baked oatmeal, then stay right where you’re at.
Notes about Recipe
Oats- make sure you use the old fashioned variety. Not the 1-minute or overnight oats. Neither one will bake well in this.
Berries- I use strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. I especially love the blackberries! But you can substitute raspberries if you would like.
Milk- I use either 1% or 2%, whichever is in the house. I’ve also substituted vanilla oat milk (I’m drinking it because I’m trying to boost my milk supply.). If you use vanilla oat milk, I would add slightly less vanilla extract.
Butter- completely optional. I’ve made it both with and without. And honestly can’t tell the difference. I included it in case your “taste” is a bit more sensitive than mine. Plus, butter makes almost every baked dish taste better…haha.

How did you like this quick and easy triple berry oatmeal bake? If you liked it, why not rate it on the recipe card above? I would really appreciate it!
Could you do me a quick favor? If you enjoyed this, could you share it with your friends? Share buttons are at the top.
I’ll start by saying I hate oatmeal for breakfast but love a fruit crisp. This seems the best recipe for me. Does this reheat as a leftover? Is it better to decrease the recipe and make daily?
It reheats great for 2 days. After that, the edges start to get really hard.
Can you use frozen berries?
I haven’t tried. I know from personal experience, frozen berries release some extra liquid so maybe reduce the liquid a bit? Just a guess. Let me know if you try it! I would love to share with the readers whether it works or not.
The recipe doesn’t mention how many servings these amounts are likely to serve. Have you any ideas?
Nope. We just dip bowls according to that our appetite that morning.
