Blueberry baked oatmeal is a delicious and nutritious breakfast. This recipe is sweet enough to double as a healthy snack or dessert option, too. The base of this recipe is a sweet, baked oatmeal, and the topping is made of fresh blueberries that are cooked down with lemon juice and a touch of sugar. The topping for this oatmeal adds a touch of sweetness, some tartness, and extra nutrients from some fresh fruit. Serve this blueberry baked oatmeal with some whipped cream, or pair it with yogurt and a banana for the ultimate breakfast.
What is baked oatmeal? What does this one taste like?
Baked oatmeal offers the comfort of a warm bowl of oatmeal, but with the ease and convenience of baking a cake to make multiple servings. I first started making baked oatmeal for this exact reason: I love warm oatmeal, but I didn’t want to make it every morning (let’s face it, stirring oatmeal on the stove is not the most fun or practical for a daily breakfast). Sure, you can get those packages of instant oatmeal with flavors, but if you’re anything like me, those don’t really keep me satisfied. This baked oatmeal is bulked up with other healthy ingredients to make this dish super satisfying, as well as delicious. I love eating my baked oatmeal with a side of plain non fat Greek yogurt and sliced bananas. I typically eat it this way out of a bowl, and take little bits of each component on the spoon. It’s so delicious and filling!
What you’ll need to make this blueberry baked oatmeal
- bananas
- unsweetened applesauce
- sugar
- cinnamon
- kosher salt
- baking powder
- old fashioned oats
- unsweetened almond or cashew milk, or skim milk
- fresh blueberries
- lemon juice
- cornstarch
- water
Substitution suggestions:
- If you don’t like or are allergic to bananas, add more unsweetened applesauce (approximately 1 cup is equivalent to two bananas).
- If you are diabetic or do not want to use real sugar, you can use sugar replacements.
- Use frozen blueberries in place of fresh ones. The flavor of the fresh blueberries is unbeatable, though.
How to make blueberry baked oatmeal
Making the blueberry topping
Add the fresh blueberries to a saucepan with the sugar. Combine the lemon juice, water and corn starch together to form a “slurry.” Add the slurry to the berries, and then put the saucepan on medium to medium-high heat. Cook the berries for 10 minutes or so, or until the berries are cooked down, broken down, and resemble a compote or jam consistency. The blueberries should be thick and jammy, not watery. Keep cooking them if they are too watery. Once the blueberries are cooked down, set the pan aside to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
Making the baked oats
Preheat the oven to 375F. Grab a baking dish or casserole dish (I use this one) and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas and add the applesauce. Next, add in the baking powder, salt, cinnamon, extract, and sugar. Once those ingredients are combined, add the milk and fold in the oats. Pour this mixture into the greased baking dish. Then, top with the blueberry mixture. Bake for 35 minutes.
Once the baked oatmeal is finished cooking, remove from the oven and set aside to cool. You can top it with some powdered sugar, too.
Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Equipment
- baking dish, casserole dish, pie plate
- mixing bowl
- small sauce pan
Ingredients
Blueberry Topping
- 1 pint blueberries, fresh
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Baked Oats
- 2 bananas, overripe
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened, or cashew milk or skim
- 1.5 cups old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Pour the berries into the small sauce pan with the sugar, and turn the heat on to medium.
- Combine the corn starch with the lemon juice and water to form a slurry, then add it to the berries.
- Cook the berries for 10 minutes, or until they are broken down into a compote-jam texture. Set aside.
- Spray a small baking dish or casserole with cooking spray. I used an 8.5" x 11" 2.5qt casserole dish for this.
- Add the bananas to the bottom of a mixing bowl, and mash them with a fork.
- Add the applesauce, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and extract and stir to combine.
- Add the milk. Whisk together.
- Add the oats. Fold in.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the baking dish.
- Add the berry topping to the top of the oatmeal, in an even layer.
- Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until set up.
- Allow this bake to sit and cool for about 10 minutes until cutting, this will allow it to firm up.

All of the baked oatmeal recipes are amazing including this one. I make a different oatmeal bake once a week for meal prep and this is a new recipe for the rotation. Thank you!!!!
Shirley McLendon says
Wow, the Blueberry baked oatmeal is amazing. My first favorites were the lemon almond and then it was the carrot cake and now it is the blueberry. I have not tried the PB&J or the strawberry.
I try to make all of my treats 2 points or under on purple so I use less almonds and no cream cheese topping in the carrot cake and less almonds and no topping on the lemon one.
Thank you for all of your great recipes. You are a busy little momma with work, cooking and children.
I have not heard your story about your weight loss journey but you look fantastic now. So glad you post the WW points for your recipes.
Shirley

Jennifer says
This is my new favorite baked oatmeal! So delicious and bursting with flavor. Will definitely be making this all summer long. Thank you for continuing to share you fabulous recipes.
Lisa says
Thank you! I’ve been struggling with finding low WW points breakfast. I’m dairy and egg free and so many breakfast recipes rely on eggs and dairy. This is delicious and filling so it keeps me satisfied until lunch. I served it to my husband as a dessert with some whipped cream and he loved it. I didn’t tell him it was my breakfast! I love the simplicity of your recipes. Keep them coming!
Rachel Kunka says
This oatmeal bake is out of this world! I have made so many of these bakes and they are so amazing every time. I struggle with feeling full and satisfied for a long time and this is so great. It keeps me full for hours. A staple for me to eat to stay on track.
Liz says
Can I make this using steel cut oats?
I have 2 full boxes and would love to use it up. Thanks!
Caryn says
Did you try using the steel cut oats. I have a bunch as well that I would love to use.
Kathy Tanner says
These are so good! I had some fat free cream cheese to use up and mixed that in the blueberry topping (like you did with the strawberry baked oats). I’m eating it as a dessert right now… will take the other 3 pieces to work as meal prep
Jenny says
Delicious! Highly recommend. I ate it for the first time with Greek yogurt on the side this morning and already packed my breakfast for tomorrow. Blueberry topping gives it great flavor.
Patricia says
The Blueberry Oatmeal Bake is delicious and so easy to make. Love it warm from the oven. Had it for dessert the next day too. Going to try the PB&J bake next. I made your Veggie Egg Bake too. Again, great warm from the oven but good reheated for on the go. Appreciate what you do and the recipes you provide. Thanks so much.
Shannon says
This was perfection! I made it today and it’s taking a lot of restraint to only have one serving!
Karen says
So good – Blueberry and Strawberry shortcake are up there as the 2 best
Obsessed with these oatmeal bakes!
Erica says
Tastes like blueberry pie! Seriously! So good I can’t wait to try your other oatmeal bakes now.
Megan says
This recipe is absolutely DELICIOUS! I literally made this 2x in a matter of a 16 hour period!! Lol Thank you for taking the time to make and post these recipes. I recently found your IG and then it was history from there. I am on the blue plan for WW and really enjoy following you for inspiration!
Catherine Myers says
I just made this for breakfast this morning and OMG DELICIOUS!!! Love it! Thank you Steph for your amazing recipes!
Mandie Lever says
This is my favorite oatmeal bake! Thank you for sharing and creating such tasty recipes!
Chris says
I made this and it is so delicious hot or cold. Thank you for sharing.
Sam Turner says
Oh. My. Goodness! This is good if the Gods! This will be on repeat for my breakfast meal plan!
Amy says
Out of all Steph’s oatmeal bakes that I’ve tried so far, this is the absolute best. Sometimes I find the banana takes over the entire flavor of the bakes, so this time I used 1 banana and doubled the applesauce and it was perfect.
Kayla says
Okay the lemon almond baked oatmeal has been my favorite so far and a weekly meal-prep breakfast latelt, but now I think this one tops it! Made this today and it’s DELICIOUS.
Jeanna says
This is the second baked oatmeal recipe I tried. I have figured out I do not like the flavor the banana gives and omitted it when I made this one.
It came out so good. This morning I had it with a little whipped cream, it felt so indulgent for breakfast but also filling. I think I’m going to try the strawberry one next.
Thanks for a great recipe!
Katie says
I love all of your oatmeal bakes but this one is simply amazing! I had a piece for dessert tonight and will eat this for breakfast with Greek yogurt the next three days…my 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter even loved it! Thank you for all of your amazing recipes.
Karen says
Just made this morning, you’ve done it again Steph!
I loved it.
Tricia says
This is absolutely delicious! One of the best, if not the best, baked oatmeal I’ve ever had. The oatmeal itself would be excellent- the toooing takes it ver the top!
regina says
Thank you for another great and super practical recipe!
Tamar says
This is my first baked oatmeal and I’m hooked! It’s exactly what I want in the morning. I’ve made it three weeks in a row!
Brooke says
Another great oatmeal bake! I was surprised to see Almond Extract on this one but it was soo good.
Amy Schultz says
This is delicious! I needed to substitute applesauce for the bananas, but I only had a 4oz container, and had apples to use up. So I made applesauce on the stove while I was making the blueberry topping. The baked oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts.
Lonneke says
Ok this is my favorite baked oatmeal recipe hands down. I love the blueberry topping! So so good!! Thanks for another great recipe!
Katie says
This was easy to pull together and absolutely delicious! I had for breakfast with Greek yogurt but this would make an awesome dessert if served warm from the oven with a scoop of ice cream. I made it into 6 servings for 4 points each and high was still a very generous serving.
Chrystal says
Love baked oatmeal. My 1 and 5 year old loved helping, especially mashing (and tasting) the bananas. I didn’t have fresh blueberries, so I used raspberries. It was so good! Will be making it again!
CHRIS JORDAN says
This is so delicious. Thank you for all your hard work to put everything together for all of us. You are a blessing.
Sally Renna says
I made this it’s absolutely delicious, the first time I used frozen blueberries because that’s what I had on hand but I’m going to make it again now with fresh blueberries, I cut it into 10 pieces so it’s two points apiece to have as a little treat on the side with my breakfast.
Vanessa says
so delicious! made one with blueberries and one with cherries since we are surrounded by those fields in our area!
Diana Staggs says
Delicious! Easy to prepare!
I am wondering if you can leave out the two tablespoons of sugar or maple syrup in any of the bakes.
Steph says
You could but it will remove all sweetness!
Heather Martin says
Oh my, this is delicious. It was easy to make and I definitely will be making this again with my weekly meal preps.
Meghan says
I am not saying I’m a baked oatmeal expert, but I have made just about every baked oatmeal recipe Steph has posted. This one is by far my favorite! I eat it for breakfast with Fage Greek yogurt, berries and PBFit. So good and keeps me full!
Debra Veronica says
Making this on repeat for Father’s Day. We love it. I add an egg white in for a little more hold. Question, when I put this in WW Recipe Builder, I come out with 6sp on Green. I seem to be using the same brands except for Dominos sugar. Any ideas?
Melissa says
Yum! Another winner! This smells heavenly and tastes even better. Basically like blueberry pie for breakfast. Thanks Steph!
Patty says
All made and sampled for this weeks breakfasts!
Keli says
I truly loved this breakfast option. It was sweet and hearty to keep me full to lunch. Now, I am trying the peach baked oatmeal and I can not wait for it to come out of the oven. Thank you for you delicious recipes!
Maria says
Very good!
Lindsey Tanner says
Just made this for the fist time this morning and it was amazing!!! I really wasn’t expecting it to be as flavorful as it is. Super happy with how it turned out and can’t work to try the other bakes oatmeal recipes!
Megan says
So can’t wait to try this. All your recipes look delicious. Thanks for sharing all your great creations
Noelle says
Sooo good! My favorite oatmeal bake! I use vanilla extract instead of almond (the first time I made it I thought the almond was a little overpowering) but this is definitely a winner that the whole family enjoys!
Kortney Trippany says
My favorite baked oatmeal!! I make this on regularly, I prefer the blueberry mixture to be mixed in rather than on top.
Stacie says
Love, love, love this recipe! I make it at least monthly. This week, I made the topping a mix of bluberries and strawberries that were starting to look sad in the fridge. I love how hearty the serving size is and that it’s dairy free! Steph officially owns my breakfast meal prep between this, the overnight oats, and the egg bakes, I have so much choice!
CRL says
Love the baked oatmeal recipes! All of them! They are super easy and quick to put together. You can literally pick a different flavor and quickly make it for a different breakfast each week! The fact that they are such a great serving size for low WW points is A++. I will be making this ‘slurry’ for everything and use all fruits!
Brittany says
This is my favorite baked oatmeal recipe so far! I ate it for breakfast and dessert.
Rosalind Demonbreun says
So delicious!! I followed the recipe but substituted blackberries because we have them coming out of our ears. I put just a little whipped cream on top as well. My husband says he likes it as much as blackberry cobbler. Yay!!
Caylin Tate says
I had some fresh blueberries so decided to make this….so yummy!
Nichole Dunkelberger says
The fresh blueberries on top are so good! The baked Oatmeal is so easy and great for meal prepping.
Sally Renna says
I hated oatmeal all my life, I would force it because you know the doctors tell you it’s good for you blah blah blah well I will never eat oatmeal again until I made this delicious out of this world oat bake, I used to make something similar into muffins but also added and I did add an egg to this and it’s truly amazing and so delicious even as a dessert, Steph you need to write a cookbook, thanks again for all you do to make these delicious recipes available to us with the points for us Weight Watchers.
Heather says
Tried this with frozen blueberries and came out great. I will be trying the other baked oatmeal variations that you have!
Susan says
Did you thaw them first or just them frozen?
Megan says
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your creation.
Lauren says
Absolutely delish! Made it with substitute sugar which brought down the blue points to 4

Emily Svendson says
LOVE THIS BAKE!! So easy! it’s my go-to week after week. I love to serve it with Greek yogurt, sliced bananas, and peanut butter.
Cyndi says
What should the texture be like? Flavors are great but mine is mushy and not cake like. Lol this is why I don’t bake! Love your recipes!
Kim A says
I am having the same problem! Not sure what I am doing wrong!
Kristi says
This is delicious! I didn’t have exact ingredients on hand – only 1 banana, no applesauce, vanilla instead of almond extract and used oat milk. Still turned out great.
LeAnne Bell says
I have never done a baked oatmeal. I was a hit intimated but said must try. It was easier than I thought and turned out delicious!!
Sarah says
This was soooooo good! My bf and I both loved it. Excited to try another recipe next time.
Clare says
Delicious! We had some blueberries to use before they turned and I had seen this recipe before. We are getting 6 servings from it. I made it ahead of time and warmed it up in the microwave for 15 seconds. I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
Sara says
This baked oatmeal is so good. Love the tartness of the fresh blueberry top with the sweetness of the oatmeal. I realized as I was putting all the ingredients together that I didn’t have the almond extract so I had to use the maple extract and it was still great. Thank you for all your great recipes Steph!!
Jessica says
One of my favorite baked oatmeals I have made! Perfectly sweet and delicious! Thanks Steph!!

This baked oatmeal is SO good! I love the tartness from the blueberries and the texture is awesome. I reheat it and eat it warm 🥰

This was delicious. I used blackberries instead, I love that you can use any berries to change it up.

My boys absolutely loved this. They thought it was like eating pie! I used whole milk because that’s what we have. I even enjoyed it even though I’m not a huge oatmeal fan. We’ll be making it again including other varieties that you have created. Thank you!
Josephine says
This is my second recipe I made from your baked oats and both were delicious. Can’t wait to try the others!

How does this recipe do if I put together ahead of time and then bake the next day?
Debbie says
Such a delicious and filling breakfast! Thanks Steph for another baked oatmeal recipe!
Leslie says
In one of your stories you mentioned subbing in coconut sugar for regular sugar. Have you tried that change in any of your oatmeal bakes. Going to prep this one today and I’m debating the swap.
Leslie says
I did it. Subbed in the coconut sugar and it’s so good. Can’t really compare because I didn’t make this one with regular sugar. But I love it. Thank you.
Shelley says
This is baking in my oven right now and my entire house smells so good. I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow!
Dina Brown Sherwood says
This was so good! And the serving size is huge! I thought there was no way the serving size was really under 300 calories but it really is! Great way to start the day – thank you.
Kathy says
So good. Very satisfying
Stephanie K says
I made this today but used all Splenda as I’m pre-diabetic. I had some non fat plain yogurt on the side for added protein. It was delicious. Thank you!
Jonna says
Made this last night when meal prepping for the week. Just had my first serving and WOW WOW WOW! It is so delicious! So bright tasting! And both filling and satisfying! You knocked this one out of the park! Thank you

Delicious!! So many great baked oatmeal recipes

Kate says
I have made this countless times and it is divine! Question, if we have regular applesauce (not unsweetened), should we omit the sugar? Thanks!
Ashley A says
People from my gym kept raving about how good your baked oatmeal recipes are, so I had to try one. This was SO good! Will definitely be making again, and may have to start making one of your baked oatmeals each week as a perfect breakfast/snack/dessert!
Patricia says
I love the oatmeal bakes for a quick easy breakfast. Adding this breakfast meal prep to my week takes the guesswork out in the morning and I love that! I love this blueberry and almond flavor combo as well.
Jami says
Love this recipe. I’ve been using it as my weekday breakfast prep for the last couple of weeks and can’t get enough! I used mine with sugar replacement and it came out great. On the weeks I didn’t have berries on hand I would just top the baked oatmeal with a little bit of sugar free maple syrup. Delish! Thank you!
Leslie says
I have been making this recipe once a week for the last month!!!! So good!!! And I love that you don’t use artificial sweeteners!!!
