Baked Blueberry Oatmeal – rolled oats, chopped pecans, cinnamon, honey and milk combine to make these the perfect breakfast on a chilly winter’s day. Instead of making your oatmeal stovetop, bake it!
Two delicious breakfast recipes in one week!
Can you stand it?? 😉
Alright, I have a confession though. Today’s recipe is a redo of one I previously posted way back in 20-aught2. I’m kidding. It really wasn’t back that far, but it was about 4 1/2 years ago when I was a fledgling blogger. hee hee
This recipe was inspired by the Inquiring Chef when I was a member of The Secret Recipe Club.
Jessica is a transplanted American now living in Bangkok, Thailand with her husband.
I’ve always been fascinated by Americans who are living in other countries and the experiences they have. To be immersed into another culture is at the same time, exhilarating and scary. I think it’s on my Bucket list, but it’s written in pencil, not pen because I’m not sure I could jump in with both feet. But, I guess I would if I had to though.
I am forever preparing this dish stove top, so I was very interested in both the flavors Jessica used and how it would taste baked which is why I selected it.

Baked Blueberry Oatmeal
This Baked Blueberry Oatmeal with oats, pecans, cinnamon, milk, honey and blueberries is the perfect for a chilly winter's day. Don't go stovetop, bake it!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (frozen can be used, just thaw them first)
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Prepare an 8 X 8-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
- Toast pecans by placing them on a baking sheet and roasting them for about 5 minutes or less. Be sure to check them at the 2 1/2 minute mark and every 30 seconds after that. They can go from being nicely toasted to burnt in the blink of an eye.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Add milk, honey, cinnamon, and salt and mix well.
- In a small bowl, combine oats, toasted pecans, and blueberries.
- Place oatmeal mixture into prepared baking dish.
- Pour milk mixture gently and evenly over the oats.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
Back when I did my 365 and a bit beyond, I rated everything I baked on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best and this Baked Blueberry Oatmeal earned 3 rolling pins.
I really liked the blueberries and the pecans in this. I don’t think I want to go back to our boring way of cooking oatmeal again.
It was just sweet enough and the blueberries were so big that they literally exploded in my mouth with flavor. They were so yummy and the nuttiness of the pecans were a great addition.
They oats were not as mushy as when I make the oatmeal on top of the stove, which I liked.
I’ll definitely be making this again!
There were a few changes I made to Jessica’s recipe. I substituted milk for the apple juice since that’s the only way I ever make ours, and used the 8 X 8-inch dish instead of the (sniffle) 4 oz. ramekins.

I’ve always wanted to try baked oatmeal- it sounds so easy and delicious! Adding milk would be my method of choice, too 🙂
I LOVE this, too! I eat oatmeal all year round (blueberry being my favorite mix in) and I love it baked. Yours came out so pretty! Looks so delicious! And I’m a new visitor to your blog as well and I really love it and the concept! So I’m staying tuned! : )

My hubby is the big oatmeal eater in the family…and he makes the nastiest looking glop. I hope to convert him to a more elegant baked version. This looks so yummy! Great SRC post, Lynne!
I’m so glad you liked the oatmeal Lynne, and so happy to find your blog through SRC! I think the many ideas that you offer through your site may be what I need to help me do more baking!

The instruction refer to “toasted oats.” How do you toast them?
Janet, I don’t see where it says “toasted oats”, but I did toast the pecans for this recipe and the instructions for how to do that are in the directions.
