    Looking for a delicious hot breakfast to get you going in the morning?  This Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal is full of fruit and has a sugar crumble topping.  Enjoy it hot or cold.

    This baked oatmeal has a delicious banana bread flavor with juicy blueberry pops throughout!

    Oatmeal is one of those things that most people are pretty picky with.  You either like it or you do not. Lucky for me, my family does like oatmeal sometimes.  They will eat it for breakfast from the little packets or baked into things like these caramel apple granola bars.

    Breakfast is a pretty important meal, and obviously my favorite kind of meal, since I'm one of the breakfast fanatics around here. Figuring out the best way to eat oatmeal seems like it's something that should come natural to me. But it actually took me a while to figure out how I love it.  

    Blueberry and banana add a fun twist to this easy baked oatmeal. Perfect breakfast food!

    The thing with oatmeal is that everyone has an opinion on how it should be.  Some like it runny, some like it thick, some like it plain, while others like it loaded with sugar and fruit. My hand is raised for the oatmeal bowl full of sugar and fruit.  Does that surprise you?

    A few months ago I made this peanut butter chocolate chip baked oatmeal, and I realized that baked oatmeal is my absolute favorite way to eat a bowl of oatmeal.  It has a thicker, heartier substance to it, and it will keep you going for hours.  Turns out my family likes it better this way too.

    Baked oatmeal gets a delicious twist from banana and blueberries.

    I had a few bananas to use up this week, so I decided to change up the baked oatmeal with some fruit.

    This oatmeal has a banana bread flavor to it with pops of juicy berry.  I added a sugary nut topping that made the top bake a little bit crunchy and crispy.

    A little milk and honey drizzled on top with some fresh banana slices makes this a delicious way to do breakfast.  Or enjoy it in the afternoon with a cup of coffee...that's totally your call.

    I am one of the breakfast contributors at Food Fanatic.  Make sure you head over there to print this Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal recipe.

      Can the crumble be made without the sugar? Can it be made with honey or maple syrup instead? (I'm trying to cut out granulated sugar)

        I would personally leave off the crumble topping if you are trying to cut sugar. You can sprinkle the nuts on the top of the oatmeal and then bake it as directed. I hope you enjoy the oatmeal.

      Can you cut up or blend up the blueberries or should you keep them whole? I want to make this for my toddler as a sneaky way to get her to eat fruit and if she sees a whole one she will be on to me and my tricks and won’t touch it.

        I have only made it with the blueberries whole. I think it would be fine to cut up or blend the blueberries before adding them. You may need to add a few more minutes to the bake time to make sure it is all the way baked from any extra "liquid" the blended blueberries may add. Keep me posted on how it works and if your kiddo eats it this way.

      I'd like to make something like this for the week. Is it possible to premake, cut this into bars and store in baggies separately? Does it need to be refrigerated to keep? It looks AMAZING!!

        I would keep it refrigerated if you are making it ahead of time. You can just keep it in the pan and cover it. Just cut it into slices and reheat it in the microwave. I hope you enjoy it!

      I am with you - I actually dig oatmeal, especially thicker oatmeal. But my dad likes it runny. Ha! This baked oatmeal sounds awesome. I've never done a baked oatmeal and now I totally want to try it. P.S. are these the photos from when we were talking the other day? Because they look AWESOME!

      There are so many delicious ways to serve oatmeal! I am a big fan of a bowl of steel cut oatmeal, made thick and creamy. I've never tried baked oatmeal. This fruity recipe looks like a good place for me to start!

        There is something about the baked oatmeal that I like so much more than regular. I think that it is because it is not as mushy.

      I definitely need my oatmeal baked. When it gets too mushy...no. But your way is the best! And your flavor combos are also the best. More sugar is always better!
