❤️Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love a good baked oatmeal. Not only are they family-friendly, but it’s a great filling breakfast. It’s also freezer-friendly.
I usually make 2-3 batches at a time because it doesn’t take much more time and then I’m ready for a quick and hearty breakfast on those busy days.
Other favorite baked oatmeal recipes are Apple Pie Overnight Oats, Make-Ahead Baked Oatmeal with Apples, and Amish-style nectarine Baked Oatmeal. Instant Pot Blueberry Oatmeal is another favorite.
One batch of blueberry baked oatmeal feeds me and my four kids two times, which I love. My kiddos are still young, it may not stretch as far as if you are feeding all adults or teenagers.

👩🏻🍳Expert Cooking Tips
Cooking Times Vary
The cooking time on baked oatmeal can vary quite a bit. Check it after 23 minutes and every few minutes after that until it is no longer soupy.
I have found that the temperature inside your house and the temperature of the ingredients can cause the oatmeal to take longer to set. If possible, use room-temperature eggs.
Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal
Blueberry baked oatmeal works great as a make-ahead meal. Simply prepare it to the point of baking and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Leftovers also taste delicious when warmed up for a few minutes.
Freezing Baked Oatmeal
To freeze baked oatmeal, prepare but do not bake. Wrap in two layers of foil and label and date the foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, defrost overnight in the fridge. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes prior to baking and bake as directed.
