    This recipe for Baked Strawberry Almond Oatmeal is a delicious spin on regular oats. Similar to bread pudding, oats, milk and eggs bake up into a soft yet firm texture, dotted with fresh strawberries throughout.

    Do you like oatmeal?

    My kids actually do like oatmeal, but sometimes they get tired of the same old same old.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    This Baked Strawberry Almond Oatmeal is a fun way to enjoy oats in a similar but different way.

    It's quick to prepare in one bowl and comes together in 1 hour!

    You can bake the oatmeal up and freeze for quick breakfasts later -- perfect breakfast meal prep.

    It's great served cold or warm.

    Ingredients you'll need

    • rolled oats: don't use steel-cut oats for this recipe
    • eggs
    • milk: you can use any milk or non-dairy alternative; almond milk is fantastic in this
    • vanilla extract: use a pure vanilla extract for the best flavour; you can also add in almond extract 
    • maple syrup: or any sweetener you like; note that some sweeteners are sweeter than others
    • banana: mashed; you can substitute with additional milk if you don't like banana
    • vegetable oil or melted butter
    • cinnamon: ground
    • sea salt: to balance out the sweetness
    • strawberries: if fresh, cut in half; fresh or frozen will work fine for this recipe
    • almonds: flaked almonds on top adds a little texture

    How to make it

    Preheat the oven to 350F/177C.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and maple syrup. 

    Add in the mashed banana. 

    Next, add in the rolled oats, vegetable oil (or butter), cinnamon and sea salt. 

    Give everything a good mix.

    Lightly oil a baking pan (I used a 9" by 6") and pour in about half of the oat mixture.

    Add half of the strawberries over the oat mixture.

    Pour in the remaining oat mixture on top and add the remaining strawberries.

    Sprinkle flaked almonds on top. 

    Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes, or until the oats are springy to the touch (or a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean). 

    The edges will appear brown and the oats should be slightly puffy. 

    Let cool before slicing into bars or squares.

    How to serve

    Serve this Baked Strawberry Almond Oatmeal at room temperature, or warmed up.

    Reheat the oatmeal in the microwave until warmed throughout. 

    How to store

    Store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    This baked oatmeal also stores well in the freezer.

    Individually wrap portions and freeze for up to 3 months.

    Substitutions

    Feel free to change up the fruit/nuts and use what's in season.

    Add dried fruit, nuts or seeds. 

    Use a different sweetener or milk.

    Add spices for a different take: try nutmeg, cloves, or ginger for a warmer flavour.
