Baked oatmeal is lovely when served warm from the oven with a little almond milk (and maybe a drizzle of syrup), but its real beauty comes the next day. Once the oatmeal is cold, it firms up completely, holding its shape, and can be sliced into squares or bars. Wrap them up and add to lunch bags for a snack, or use them for a grab and go breakfast. This Baked Oatmeal with Apricot by Starr Wong is quick, nutritious, and delicious.

4. Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

Sweetened with maple syrup and spiced with cinnamon, this Sweet Potato Pecan Baked Oatmeal from Taavi Moore is out of this world! The sweet potato pairs perfectly with the crunchy & sweet pecan topping. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a generous spoonful of peanut butter. This Sweet Potato Pecan Baked Oatmeal is a great breakfast to save for the rest of the week. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge and warm up in the microwave or stovetop for a couple of minutes. A perfect serving of pecans in every bite. You may think that putting sweet potato in oatmeal is a bit of odd. But with the right pairing of sweetness from the maple syrup and spice from the cinnamon..it’s simply delicious!

7. Lemon Baked Oatmeal With Raspberry Filling

When I saw a lemon layer cake with raspberry filling, I knew I wanted to recreate it as a baked oatmeal, which created this Lemon Baked Oatmeal With Raspberry Filling from Lauren Smith. You could bake this in one ramekin, split it in half, and then spread the jam in the middle, but I decided to go an easier route: I spread two shallow layers of the batter in two separate equally-sized ramekins. This way, they cooked evenly and I didn’t have to deal with the soft innards of baked oatmeal.

8. Snickerdoodle Cookie Baked Oatmeal

Did you know snickerdoodle cookies have been shown to improve your overall mood by 57%*? Bearing that in mind, what could be better than this Snickerdoodle Cookie Baked Oatmeal by Lauren Smith? Nothing I tell you! *made up statistic.

9. Irish Soda Bread Baked Oatmeal

This Irish Soda Bread Baked Oatmeal by Lauren Smith is different than others because it’s significantly less sweet. If you take a look at the recipe, you’ll notice there’s no sweetener involved. After all, it’s meant to replicate the taste of bread, and a very simple bread! You could also top it with your favorite jam.

10. Mocha Baked Oatmeal With Almond Butter Center

For this Mocha Baked Oatmeal With Almond Butter Center by Lauren Smith, I went with a recipe that uses all my favorite ingredients: chocolate, coffee, banana (which is optional), almond butter, and happiness. Yes, happiness. I could have just topped the baked oatmeal with almond butter, but I decided to try something a little bit different. I tucked the almond butter inside. Feel free to make your own choices, but this is a fun and easy way to switch it up.
