Description

Strawberries and Cream Baked Oatmeal is a warm, comforting breakfast dish featuring quick-cooking oats baked with fresh strawberries, eggs, and milk to create a creamy, golden casserole. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup or honey and finished with a drizzle of fresh cream and extra berries, this recipe combines wholesome ingredients for a wholesome, flavorful start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk (plant based works too)
  • 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Fruits and Toppings

  • 2 cups chopped strawberries, divided
  • Cream for drizzle


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 9 inch baking dish well to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs until combined. Stir in the milk, melted butter or coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until everything is fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Strawberries: To the wet mixture, add the quick cooking oats, kosher salt, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to blend. Fold in 1 cup of the chopped strawberries, reserving the other cup for topping.
  4. Transfer and Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is just golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and scoop portions into bowls. Drizzle with fresh cream, add the remaining chopped strawberries on top, and drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup to taste for added sweetness and creaminess.

Notes

  • To store: Place baked oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 3-4 days for the best flavor. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
  • To freeze: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat from frozen, bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
  • Make ahead: You can prepare the oatmeal mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it covered in the baking dish. Bake it fresh the next day as directed for easy mornings.
