Is Baked Oatmeal Healthy?
I get ask this question often so I’ll start out by saying that yes, baked oatmeal is a healthy breakfast option. There is a great balance of macronutrients – healthy fats from the egg and coconut oil, fiber from the oats, and lean protein from the egg.
Ingredients in Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
old-fashioned rolled oats – my fave brand is Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats. pure maple syrup – pure maple syrup is the perfect natural sweetener to use for baked oatmeal in my opinion! baking powder – helps the baked oatmeal rise. cinnamon – for a little spice. sea salt – just a touch! almond milk – I like using unsweetened almond milk, but any type of milk will work! egg – or a flaxseed egg. To make a flaxseed egg combine 1 Tablespoon of flaxseed with 3 Tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to “gel” up. coconut oil – make sure you’re using extra virgin coconut oil. I’ve purchased several different brands of coconut oil before, but Nutiva organic extra virgin coconut oil is my favorite. pure vanilla extract – a wonderful flavor enhancer. bananas & strawberries – the stars of the show! I would recommend using fresh fruit here. Frozen strawberries would likely work, but they also might release too much liquid while baking, so I’d recommend thawing the frozen fruit and draining the excess liquid prior to baking. chocolate chips – I love Lily’s chocolate chips for a low-sugar option and Enjoy Life chocolate chips for a dairy-free/soy-free option.
Making Baked Oatmeal Ahead of Time
Yes, you can make baked oatmeal ahead of time. There are a couple options that work really well. Here’s what I recommend:
Option 1: Bake and Then Reheat Before Serving
Option 2: Prep as Much as You Can Without Baking
How Long Does Baked Oatmeal Last in the Fridge?
Baked oatmeal lasts about 4-6 days in the fridge. If I’m not serving it to a group of people for brunch, I love making one batch on Sunday and having balanced breakfasts the rest of the week. This is a great recipe for meal prep!
