Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Recipe (Tik Tok Sensation!)
I’m a sucker for Tik Tok and addicted to all of the new and exciting recipes that pop up on there! Just like Folded Tortillas Quesadillas and Baked Feta Pasta, this new trend has been a total hit in our house!
Studded with blueberries, sweetened with brown sugar, and loaded with old-fashioned oats, this is a wholesome and hearty breakfast to enjoy any morning of the week.
Thanks, Tik Tok!
Why You’ll Love this Baked Oatmeal:

Your kitchen will smell amazing while this blueberry oatmeal bakes! This is such an easy and delicious recipe to make for Easter brunch or Christmas morning too.
How to Make Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!
- Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Mix the wet ingredients together.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- Fold in the blueberries and pecans.
- Transfer to a baking dish and bake.
Without a doubt, old-fashioned oats (rolled oats) are the way to go for this blueberry baked oatmeal recipe. Steel-cut oats will be too tough and quick oats will be too soggy.
Absolutely. Instead of half-and-half, use the same amount of your favorite non-dairy milk like oat, almond, or soy milk. It won’t taste as rich but it will still be delicious.
This is a wonderful recipe to make ahead of time! Let the oatmeal cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Wrap cooled baked oatmeal squares individually in plastic wrap and place into an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw squares overnight in the refrigerator.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy a plain square of blueberry oatmeal or top it with:
- Maple syrup or honey
- Fresh berries
- Yogurt
- Peanut butter or almond butter
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
Tips!
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a little something extra!
- For an even texture throughout, make sure all of the ingredients are well mixed before spreading into the baking dish.
- Let the oatmeal completely cool before storing.
Warm, cozy, and creamy, this baked oatmeal is the ultimate morning comfort food.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
If you use certified gluten-free oats, yes, this is a naturally gluten-free recipe.
What other kinds of fruit can I use?
Instead of blueberries, diced apples, pears, or strawberries are wonderful additions. Delicate berries like raspberries and blackberries could fall apart, so I recommend using 1 cup of blueberries and 1 cup of raspberries or blackberries.
Can I leave out the nuts?
Yes. Simply omit the nuts or replace the pecans with an equal amount of chopped walnuts or almonds.

Hello! This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it but first I have two questions: can you substitute artificial sweetener for the brown sugar and can you use frozen berries if fresh aren’t available?
It may work!
These are amazing!!!! I am a bariatric surgery/weightloss patient. I had to tweak a few things. Instead of 2 cups of half and half, I used 2 cups of blueberry protein shake. And instead of brown sugar, I used 8 equal packets and 4 table spoons of brown sugar cinnamon Torani syrup…sugar free of course.
Thank you for letting us know! Wishing you a healthy recovery!
Took way longer to bake then expected. Came out mushy and still wet. I took it out of the baking dish and put it on a cookie sheet hoping it will bake all tbe way through. Probably would not make again.
I am sorry this isn’t working for you, Teri.
I used 2%milk since I didn’t have half and half and I cooked according to directions but needed a few extra minutes I think due to the substitution.
Thanks for sharing, Melanie!
