If you are an oatmeal lover like me, you have to try baked oatmeal. It took me years to finally try it, and I wish I hadn’t waited so long! Baked oatmeal feels more decadent than a bowl of porridge. It has the texture similar to bread pudding, so you get chewy, soft, and creamy in every bite.

Baked oatmeal can be served warm or cold, and tastes delicious either way. It’s the perfect recipe to meal prep for a grab and go breakfast if you have a busy week coming up. This berry banana baked oatmeal is much more filling than a granola bar or piece of toast, since it contains plenty of fiber.
