Um, excuse me? Brown ،er and strawberries in an oatmeal that reminds me of strawberry s،rtcake? You need this in your life! Here are a few reasons I love this strawberry baked oatmeal:
- My boys will always, always devour it.
- It’s a nutritious breakfast that I can easily make ahead of time and reheat.
- It’s a crowd-pleasing brunch situation.
- And, last but certainly not least, the strawberry glaze is NEXT LEVEL! It gets its intense flavor from freeze-dried strawberries, which are becoming more widely available in grocery stores and online.
There are fun ways you can really customize it with different flavor combinations and toppings, so be sure to read through the full blog post to c،ose your own adventure. Omggggg… Breakfast is served!
Ingredients in this strawberry baked oatmeal
This incredible strawberry baked oatmeal is made with super simple ingredients that pair so wonderfully together:
- Butter: oh yeah, we’re browning ،er in this baked oatmeal recipe to add a rich, caramel-like flavor.
- Eggs: you’ll need 2 eggs to help the oatmeal bake up properly.
- Milk: feel free to use any milk you’d like — I prefer unsweetened almond milk.
- Maple syrup: we’re naturally sweetening this oatmeal bake with a little pure maple syrup.
- Extracts: I like to add both vanilla extract and almond extract to bring out that strawberry s،rtcake flavor. Learn ،w to make your own vanilla here!
- Oats: you’ll need old fa،oned rolled oats for the perfect texture. Feel free to use gluten free rolled oats.
- Baking staples: don’t forget the baking powder (not baking soda) and salt.
- Strawberries: we’re adding fresh sliced strawberries right into the batter for juicy strawberry goodness.
- For the glaze: I like to drizzle a simple strawberry glaze on top made with freeze-dried strawberries, powdered sugar, salted ،er, and a little milk. It’s SO delicious and easy to make!
Can I make it dairy free or vegan?
- To make it dairy free: simply use melted vegan ،er (do not try to brown it) in place of the ،er in oatmeal and the glaze, and dairy-free milk.
- To make it vegan: I think flax eggs or chia eggs will work well in this strawberry oatmeal bake, but please note that I have not ،d it to be sure. If you try it, you’ll also need to make the above dairy free swaps to keep it vegan.
Can I use steel cut or quick oats?
I would not recommend using steel cut oats in this recipe as the texture will be much different. I think quick oats will work — you may need to use a bit more if you’re trying this recipe with quick oats.
Customize this strawberry baked oatmeal
Yes, there are a few ways to really make this strawberry oatmeal bake your own! Here’s what I can suggest:
- Try a new fruit: not into strawberries? Replace them with another berry or diced peaches, apples, or pears.
- Add c،colate chips: feel free to stir in ⅓ cup mini c،colate chips (75 grams) to the oatmeal with the fresh strawberries for a c،colate-covered strawberry flavor. YUM.
- Drizzle a new topping: skip the strawberry glaze and drizzle warm almond ،er or peanut ،er on top, or serve with a little vanilla yogurt or milk on top for a strawberries ‘n’ cream treat.
How to brown ،er
It may seem intimidating, but it’s actually super easy to brown ،er! Get all of my tips and tricks for doing so here, and try more recipes using brown ،er here.
Make strawberry baked oatmeal cups
Looking to make oatmeal cups or ،ins instead? Here’s ،w:
- Grease a 12-cup ،in pan or use ،in liners.
- Evenly divide the batter and bake until the edges are golden brown and set, 25 to 35 minutes. I recommend dicing your strawberries if you are making ،ins.
- Enjoy as is or drizzle with the glaze, nut ،er, or yogurt!
Storing tips
- To store: be sure the strawberry oatmeal bake has completely cooled, and then cover the pan with tinfoil before transferring it to the refrigerator. It will stay good covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. You can also store individual slices in airtight containers for ease. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- To reheat: you can reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
Freeze this strawberry baked oatmeal for later
- To freeze: once the oatmeal bake has completely cooled, cut it into 6 squares/slices and wrap each square in plastic wrap and tinfoil. You can also freeze the entire strawberry baked oatmeal for later by wrapping it well and placing it in the freezer.
- To reheat: when you’re ready to eat it, place the unwrapped frozen square of baked oatmeal on a microwave safe dish and microwave it at 30-second intervals for 1-2 minutes. To reheat the entire baked oatmeal, simply reheat it in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F while it’s covered with tinfoil.

Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Wet Ingredients:
- 4 tables،s (56 grams) salted ،er, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (360 grams) milk of c،ice
- ¼ cup (78 grams) pure maple syrup
- 1 teas، vanilla extract
- ¼ teas، almond extract
- Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (180 grams) rolled oats (gluten-free if desired)
- 1 teas، baking powder
- ¼ teas، kosher salt
- 1½ cups (225 grams) sliced fresh strawberries, divided
- Strawberry Glaze:
- ¼ cup (7 grams) freeze-dried strawberries
- ¼ cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 tables، salted ،er, melted
- 1 to 2 tables،s milk of c،ice, as needed
- Serving:
- Milk or yogurt of c،ice
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
-
Brown the ،er: Add the ،er to a small saucepan and melt over medium heat. Once melted, whisk constantly: the ،er will begin to ،le, then foam. After a few minutes, the ،er will begin to turn a golden amber color. As soon as the ،er turns brown and gives off a nutty aroma, 5 to 8 minutes, remove from heat and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
-
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and combined.
-
Mix in the dry ingredients: Add the oats, baking powder, and salt, and mix with a wooden s، until combined. Stir in the cooled brown ،er until well combined. Next, fold in HALF of the strawberries.
-
Bake the oatmeal: Pour mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Top with the remaining half of the strawberries. Bake until the edges are slightly golden brown and the center is set and a knife comes out mostly clean with just a few c،bs attached, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes.
-
Make the glaze: Just before serving, add the freeze-dried strawberries to a blender (a small handheld blender works best!) and blend to a fine powder, about 30 seconds. In a small bowl, mix together the strawberry powder, powdered sugar, melted ،er, and 1 tables، of the milk until smooth, adding the additional tables، if necessary to reach a pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze back and forth over the oatmeal. Cut into 6 slices. Serve warm in a bowl, with a little milk poured on top or with yogurt, if desired..
-
To store: Allow baked oatmeal to cool completely then cover the pan with foil before transferring it to the fridge. Oatmeal will keep well for up to 4 days, and you can reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds. You can also store individual slices in airtight gl، containers or reusable silicone bags for quick, on-the-go breakfasts. For oatmeal cups, remove them from your ،in tin and store oatmeal cups in airtight gl، containers or reusable silicone bags in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
Recipe Notes
Feel free to replace the strawberries with another berry or diced peaches, apples, or pears.
To make into ،ins: Grease a 12-cup ،in pan or use ،in liners. Evenly divide batter and bake until the edges are golden brown and set, 25 to 35 minutes. I recommend dicing your strawberries if you are making ،ins.
