How to Make Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

This easy strawberry baked oatmeal is super simple to make!

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish.

Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3: In another bowl, mash one banana. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.

Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir. Fold in 1¼ cups strawberries, half the chocolate, and half the pecans.

Step 5: Pour into your baking dish. Top with the remaining sliced banana, strawberries, chocolate, and pecans.

Tips for the Best Baked Oatmeal

• Use ripe bananas. The riper they are, the sweeter your oatmeal will be.
• Don’t use instant oats. Rolled oats give you a much better texture.
• Use fresh strawberries. Frozen work too, but may need a little extra baking time.
• Don’t overbake. You want the middle to stay nice and soft, not dry.
• Let it cool before slicing. This helps the oatmeal hold together.

Easy Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are a few easy ideas!

• Extra protein: Use high-protein milk or serve with Greek yogurt.
• Dairy-free: Use almond milk, dairy-free yogurt, and coconut oil instead of butter.
• Nut-free: Skip the pecans.
• No chocolate: Replace the chocolate with blueberries.
• Extra sweet: Drizzle with a little maple syrup before serving.

How to Store and Freeze

This make ahead strawberry baked oatmeal is perfect for breakfast meal prep!

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Cut into individual portions, wrap, and freeze for up to 3 months for best quality.

Reheat: Microwave for 45–90 seconds, or until hot throughout. Add a splash of milk if needed.

I love keeping a few portions in the freezer for those mornings when I need something quick!
