Dairy-free, refined sugar-free blueberry baked oatmeal is a delightful healthy breakfast! This delicious breakfast recipe requires basic pantry ingredients and is easy to prepare. Make it for your family for breakfast or brunch, or use it as a breakfast-to-go recipe.
Because the weather is warming up and Mother’s Day is quickly approaching, I have brunch on the brain.
Blueberry baked oatmeal is one of my favorite brunches to share with family because it’s so quick and easy to prepare, it’s healthful, and it feeds a crowd. All important things for a large, always hangry family like mine!
For those who enjoy a hearty naturally sweet breakfast, this blueberry baked oatmeal is perfecto!
I kept the recipe refined sugar-free by employing maple syrup, dairy-free by using coconut milk, and gluten-free by sticking with gluten-free rolled oats.
Because there are an entire TWO CUPS-worth of blueberries in this baked oatmeal, the texture turns out – do I daresay? – custardy.
This recipe yields the perfect amount of sweet for someone who, like me, prefers breakfast on the less sugary end of the spectrum, and the tart blueberries give such a nice pop to the dish.
You can serve baked oatmeal up with fresh fruit, and a dollop of plain yogurt or whipped cream. I prefer eating baked oatmeal hot, but this is also a great recipe to make ahead, keep in the refrigerator, and have for breakfasts on-the-go.
All it takes to make this studly blueberry breakfast come together seamlessly is a little whisk n’ pour n’ bake.
I will say, this recipe requires upwards of an hour of bake time, plus some rest time once it comes out of the oven to help the oatmeal set up. Never fret, this just means the baked oatmeal is a great make-ahead recipe, and per usual, all good things are worth the wait.

To regress a few generations in my vocabulary, I’m totally going to make this. It sounds absolutely wonderful. I’ve only tried one other baked oatmeal recipe, and I’m really looking forward to this one – next week after we get back from our little weekend trip.
Bahaha! I’m totally psyched you’re totally making the baked oatmeal, and I hope you love it, Susan! xoxox
Wow what a great recipe, Ju! I love everything with blueberry and now it is the perfect time of the year for making blueberry recipes. So yummy! I also love Pacific, but I didn’t know about this new product. Thanks a lot for introducing me!!
This is me, proving to you I read this blog. And now that we are booty shaking besties, I will write on said blog page. 😉 I’m gonna make this for the ‘betic boyfriend runner ASAP. It will be one serving but what are you gonna do. <3
Eriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin! xoxoxox! I just loved meeting you and hope we can all get together and hang. How’s about we crash Stephie and Alex’s honeymoon? I’ll bring the travel snacks 😀 Let me know what the ‘betic boyfriend thinks of this single-serve baked oatmeal 😉 Love ya, girly!
GIMME ALL THE BLUEBS. This baked oatmeal looks so fruity and scrumptious and I want to brunchify my weekday to get it in my belly ASAP.
P.S. Can’t wait to hear the recap of Stephie’s wedding!
Yuuuuuuuuhs, you’ll love this baked oatmeal! Can’t wait to tell ya all about the wedding!
Yah for weddings! And BBQ! I think you have done something wrong if you don’t come back from a vacation with some extra pounds 🙂 Baked oatmeal is one of my breakfast foods too! So delicious and you can make it ahead! I’ve never made one with blueberries though, sounds amazing!
I cannot wait to hear your recap of that beautiful wedding! In the meantime, this crunchy custardy goodness is amazing!!
I love that cool band of color that blueberries leave behind in my oatmeal. I totally want to make this some time in the next few days. How many cups of maple syrup is there? It just says “?” in the recipe right now. I’m down with the mystery though! I’m going to eat this with a generous serving of PB because that’s how we do, right?
Mmmm, all the blueberries! I want all the blueberries in my baked oatmeal. This is stunning. Pinned.
There’s absolutely no point in adding blueberries unless you pack ’em in! I can totally see we are on the same page about that!
You looked so freakin’ pretty all dressed up as Stephie’s bridesmaid (and she looked gorgeous too, obvs), I could barely stand it! I love the color she chose for your dress. So beautiful! I can’t wait to see more!
And I am all about baked my oatmeal, especially when it involves big juicy blueberries with a custardy texture. Bring on the brunch!!
Hi Julia,
Thanks for posting this recipe – the oatmeal looks just divine, and considering how healthy all the ingredients are, it’s the perfect dessert!

How much maple syrup? It has a ? rather than a quantity.
Thanks so much for catching that! it’s 1/3 cup pure maple syrup 😀
Blueberry edges for life!!! I love that custard-y texture that baked oatmeal gets, lurve it. Ok so pass me that milk and let’s get to gettin’ on this thing! p.s. You and Stephie looked so pretty! Can’t wait to see your post about it!
Oh yes. True friends would totally share the blueberries edges with each other. They are the best. Yum yum! These looks fabulous and hooray for berry season!
Your Blueberry baked oatmeal looks terrific. Whenever I make anything with blueberries, it’s not blog-worthy so you definitely DID accomplish this task with flying colors 🙂 I like Pacific, too – didn’t know about this new product so thanks for introducing me!! I see it’s unsweetened -> perfect 🙂 I’m so going to try this dish for breakfast tomorrow!!
I love how pretty your baked oatmeal came out! I tried baking mine the other day with fresh berries and it was the most unattractive thing ever that I said no way I’m posting it 🙂 Yours on the other hand…perfection !
