Banana Berry Crunch Baked Oatmeal is a simple, healthy and delicious way to start your day! This easy recipe is made with coconut milk, rolled oats, fresh bananas, berries and maple syrup.
The post-holiday work slump is the worst. I usually take a break from work for the two weeks around Christmas and New Years to spend the time relaxing with friends and family. Because it was my little girl’s first Christmas this year, two weeks turned into more like four weeks. Although we had a blast celebrating her first big holiday, I’m just now getting back into the swing of things.
First recipe for the new year is this super simple, healthy and delicious Banana Berry Crunch Baked Oatmeal. I made this oatmeal so many times that I lost count. It’s so simple that I never really though to share it with you. Made with oats, maple syrup, coconut milk, fresh berries and bananas, it is great for lazy weekends or even for breakfast during the week.
I like to bake a batch of this oatmeal on Sunday mornings and then enjoy the leftovers for breakfast throughout the week. Simply reheat the oatmeal, add more milk, if desired, and enjoy. The coconut milk gives this oatmeal a thickness and flavor that I love, but feel free to use your favorite milk.

I really like this recipe!
Why make another bowl dirty to mix the wet ingredients? I just use the same bowl that I mixed the dry ingredients in since they are already in the baking dish when it comes time to mix the wet ingredients.
I also add some chopped pecans on the top before baking.
I’m so glad you like this recipe. You don’t have to use a separate bowl for the wet ingredients. I mix wet ingredients together in a measuring cut for easy measuring. Thanks so much for your feedback!
