Years ago, my daughter was having a lot of stomach issues and a naturopath we were seeing told us that it is important to warm up your “fires” every morning. One good way to do that is with a warm bowl of oatmeal. In looking for a little variation on the oatmeal theme I made a batch of baked oatmeal. You see, truth be told, I don’t care for oatmeal. It’s mainly the texture I don’t like but it’s just not a very pretty food either! But I discovered, when you bake it, not only does it have better texture but it’s a whole lot prettier too! And it is a perfect way to warm up those “fires” in the morning.
I also love the versatility of baked oatmeal. The variations are only limited by what you have in your pantry. Add in fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate. The possibilities are pretty endless. Besides the flexibility, it comes together in minutes and after it is baked it stores great in the fridge for several days and is easy to reheat. Sounds like the perfect breakfast solution, doesn’t it!?
How to Make Baked Oatmeal
The recipe uses old fashioned oats which is different from quick oats in the shape, texture and cooking time. Old fashioned oats are flatter and take longer to cook than quick oats. 
- Mix together the honey, melted butter and eggs. You can use brown sugar instead of honey.
- Add in oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, vanilla and milk. You can substitute almond milk for regular milk if you prefer.
- Add in fruit. For this recipe I used blueberries but you could get creative with the fruit you add in. You could use diced apples, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, or mangos.
I have never been a big oatmeal fan, it’s a texture issue for me. But I was pleasantly surprised with the Baked Oatmeal. I tried it and I liked it and I felt so healthy eating it. I think I may be an oatmeal convert!

I was recently told to change my diet very similar to what your daughter is doing. It’s just me and the husband in the house so far. We are working toward a family, one of the reasons for the new diet, but for now it’s just us. I’m curious as to how well your recipes hold up as left overs or when reheated? Especially the oatmeal because I love it but my husband, like you, won’t eat because of the texture. If you have any idea as to how it reheats I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!
Leigh Anne says
The oatmeal reheated great. My husband and daughter enjoyed it for breakfast several days in a row. Good luck with your new eating!

Hi Leigh Anne. I’m sure you already know about this site but I just heard about it. It’s called Gluten Freely. You can find it at http://www.glutenfreely.com. The site has recipes, coupons, ask the experts, etc. A whole community. I just wanted to make sure you have heard about it.

i hope cali can feel better. it’s hard having issues with food! a little girl in my class is on a anti candida diet (i think that’s the way you say it) and it is so hard! just buy good quality oats, sometimes they have flour dust on them and can affect you too! you can buy bobs red mill gluten free oats just more expensive!
Mary Kathryn says
Looks yummy– I actually have a baked oatmeal recipe using steel cut oats… can’t remember if I sent you that link or not. I will if you need it but I am sure your archives are piling up of things to try! 🙂
Leigh Anne says
Mary Kathryn, I would love the recipe for the steel cut oats baked oatmeal. My husband loves his steel cut oats!
Shirley says
Be careful Leigh Anne….you might just get converted this this healthier way to eat. I too was a bit overwhelmed when I was told “no wheat, no sugar, no corn, no dairy, no soy.” Now most of my family eats this way and feels so much better for it. The options are endless…believe it or not!! I love this breakfast cereal…add a little nutmeg also!! I’ll be excited to see what healthy ideas you come up with.
