This Blackberry Baked Oatmeal is super easy to make and has become a staple in our home! The juicy blackberries combined with the pure maple syrup is oh so delicious. This recipe only takes 10 minutes to prepare and makes for a great breakfast option or snack on the go, plus kids love it too!
I started incorporating more oats in my diet as I started breastfeeding. Oats can increase your milk supply! Ever since I added them into my diet, I became hooked! I look forward to eating one of my oat bars every morning with my breakfast.

Recipe Ingredients
- Steel-cut oats-My go to kind of gluten free oats! Steel cut oats are less processed than any other kind of oats. Do not try using quick oats, quick-cooking oats, or instant oats. They will not work for this recipe.
- Fresh blackberries-Be sure to use fresh! Frozen ones will make this blackberry oatmeal bake watery. Make sure you use ripe blackberries!
- Cinnamon-For flavor.
- Banana-This adds to the flavor but also helps bind everything together.
- Milk & eggs-This keeps this oat bake nice and moist while binding everything together.
- Maple syrup-To sweeten.
- Cooking oil spray-to prevent sticking.

- Toppings-You can add other toppings on top like ripe bananas slices, chia seeds, extra berries, frozen berries, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar or even peanut butter and almond butter! I like adding a touch of maple syrup or coconut sugar on top too once I reheat!

- Tip #1: The baking time may need adjusted if you are using a different size pan. The thinner the mixture, the less time it will take to bake.
- Tip #2: The cooking time will vary based on how big your baking dish is and how thick your oat bar mixture is! This simple recipe should be golden brown on top when it is done in the oven.
