    Ingredient Notes

    This Blueberry Banana Oatmeal comes together with only a handful of pantry staple ingredients. Scroll to the recipe card below for full amounts and directions.

    • Bananas– Instead of mashing, this recipe layers sliced bananas on the bottom for extra texture and natural sweetness in your banana oatmeal bake.
    • Blueberries– Fresh or frozen blueberries work well in this baked oatmeal with fruit.
    • Honey– Naturally sweetens the oatmeal. You can also use maple syrup for variation.
    • Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats– For the best texture. Use gluten-free oats if needed for a gluten-free baked oatmeal.
    • Nuts– Chopped walnuts or pecans add crunch.
    • Baking Powder– Gives the oatmeal a light, fluffy texture.
    • Cinnamon– Adds cozy, warm spice throughout the dish.
    • Milk– Any kind works: dairy, almond, oat, or soy. Perfect if you’re making it dairy-free.
    • Egg– Helps bind the ingredients together in this banana blueberry oatmeal.
    • Vanilla Extract– opt for pure vanilla extract for most flavor.

    Variations & Substitutions

    Make this baked oatmeal with fruit your own:

    • Fruit Swaps – Try strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, chopped apples, or peaches for a new take on this baked oatmeal with fruit.
    • Use maple syrup instead of honey
    • Oats – Old-fashioned oats give the best texture, but quick oats can work in a pinch.
    • Go gluten-free – Just grab certified gluten-free oats
    • Make it dairy-free – Use almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk
    • Add nut butter – Drizzle peanut butter or almond butter on top
    • Toss in seeds – Chia seeds or pumpkin seeds add extra nutrients and crunch.
