Strawberries and Cream Baked Oatmeal

Oatmeal is definitely in my top 3 of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. It’s just comforting and versatile. I love traditional oatmeal recipes and overnight oats too. I’ll basically take oatmeal any way that I can get it!

Baked oatmeal is something I haven’t made too often for the blog, so I wanted to change that! Baked oatmeal is a great alternative when you want or need to take breakfast on the go, but don’t want to have to worry about bringing a bowl or container for it. Baked oatmeal can be cut into convenient squares to take as needed!

It’s been getting warmer here and I’m feeling some spring vibes for sure so went with strawberries and cream oatmeal! This flavor combo is simple, but perfectly sweet and I love adding strawberries to my oatmeal.

For the cream part of the recipe, I used a combination of half and half and milk. You can change this up as needed. You could use heavy cream or a mixture as I did with regular milk. If you don’t want to use dairy milk at all, almond or coconut will also suffice.

I sliced up some fresh strawberries and you can certainly add other berries if desired. I also added some flaxseed meal for added nutritional benefits. You could also stir in nuts and/or chia seeds if that’s your thing!

This is a great recipe to prep ahead and take to work. Store the leftovers in the fridge and just stick in the microwave to warm as needed and you can still enjoy a simple and nutritious breakfast!

Oh and for some added crunch, I sprinkled some additional brown sugar on the top at the very end and stuck it under the broiler for a minute or two. It added a nice little crunch. This step is completely optional!
