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.

Could I use steel cut oatmeal? If should I adjust liquid or cooking time?
Hi, Linda! I haven’t used steel cut oats in this recipe so I can’t make a recommendation. However, if you decide to try it, please report back about how it turned out.
Will quick oats work?
Hi, Sandra! While I haven’t used quick cook oats in this recipe, you should be able to use quick cook oats without any changes to the recipe. Enjoy!
Do you have carb count in this? Or Calorie count? Looks delicious. I was going to try and make it with the Lite Log Cabin syrup. Do you think that would be as good?
Hi, Donna! Unfortunately I do not currently have nutritional information on my recipes, although I am planning to add this info in the future. I always use pure maple syrup. However, you can omit the syrup, if you want to reduce the sweetness.
I calculated it out. You should know that I substituted the coconut milk with almond milk.

Hi there:) This recipe is fabulous and 38 years and now I’m eating oatmeal lol I know you don’t post nutrition, wondering though what’s the serving size we should eat? 1 cup? Thank you for sharing this recipe!
This had great flavor but not sure what I did wrong.. it’s like the milk/egg mixture didn’t go all the way down.. I was left with a layer of dry oats on the bottom.. do you use light coconut milk? My coconut milk was full fat so it was pretty thick and creamy.. also 1 can wasn’t quite two cups so I did add some vanilla almond milk creamer to it to make 2 cups.. thoughts.. oh also I did not add pecans
Hi, Kristin! I’m not exactly sure what went wrong. It sounds like the liquid didn’t make it to the bottom of the baking dish for some reason. I have used all types of milk in this recipe and most often use full fat coconut milk. I usually try to shake the can as much as possible before thoroughly mixing with the egg so it’s possible your liquid was a little bit thicker. I hope you try it again!
I would like a copy of the berry banana oatmeal that I can keep
