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.

Does this reheat well? Its just me so if I was making it for the week, would it last in the fridge for the week so I can take it with me each day?
Hi, Aubrey! Yes, the oatmeal reheats very well. In fact, I bake a batch on Sundays and reheat a small amount in a bowl throughout the week. Enjoy!
Hi, would frozen blueberries work?
Hi, Jazzy! Yes, can could use frozen blueberries, however, the consistency may be a little different.
I made this recipe last week and it’s really delicious! Thx for posting!
I’m so glad you loved it!
Can I use a flax egg instead?
Hi, Ed! While I haven’t tried flax egg in this recipe yet, it should work just fine. Enjoy!
Can you sub out additional berries for the banana? I’m allergic, but this looks delicious!!
Yes, you can substitute the bananas for additional berries!
What about apples? Would the cooking directions change at all? Thanks!
Hi, Debbie! I haven’t tested apples in this recipe, but it’s a great idea. You could definitely try substituting the fruit for apples and leave everything else in the recipe the same.
