Start your day with this warm and wholesome baked berry oatmeal, a naturally sweet, fiber-rich breakfast that’s both satisfying and nourishing. It’s packed with juicy berries, hearty oats, a hint of ginger, and topped with crunchy almonds.
Bursting with juicy berries, warming ginger, and wholesome oats, this baked berry oatmeal is the comforting breakfast your mornings have been craving. It’s lightly sweetened, spiced just right, and topped with crunchy almonds for the perfect contrast in texture.
Serve it warm with a dollop of vanilla yoghurt for a fuss-free and easy breakfast bake that is comforting, nourishing, and full of feel-good flavour. This recipe is ideal for slow weekends, or feeding a hungry brunch crowd.
Packed with slow-release oats, fibre-rich chia seeds, brain-boosting berries, and a touch of healthy fat, this is also a fantastic breakfast option during exam time as it will keep everyone full and focused without a sugar crash.
For ease, I am using frozen berries but fresh ones work just as well.

Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
Make-Ahead Tips
You can make this baked berry oatmeal the night before, cover, and refrigerate.
In the morning, just pop it in the oven, covered and reheat at 160°C (325°F) for 10 minutes or so. Alternatively, reheat individual portion in the microwave as detailed below.
Do not make the batter ahead as the oats will soak up the liquid completely and the baked oatmeal will be very dry.
Leftover Storage
Let the baked oatmeal cool completely, then store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for 1–2 minutes or in the oven at 160°C (325°F) until heated through, add a splash of milk to keep it moist.
