Raspberry Baked Oatmeal (Easy and Healthy)

This baked oatmeal breakfast is studded with raspberries and optional chocolate chips (I do really recommend it, because chocolate and raspberries are a dreamy combination) Just like in these Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins.

Baking oatmeal is a great option to regular oatmeal like this Blackberry Baked Oatmeal or to overnight oats like this Berry cheesecake overnight oats. Baking oatmeal gives it a wonderful, almost cake like texture and makes a healthy meal prep for the whole week. This chocolate raspberry baked oatmeal will keep for several days in the fridge, or freeze it to last for even longer. Also try this Blueberry banana baked oatmeal or this Banana bread baked oats.

For the full ingredient measurements, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

• Bananas, use very ripe bananas with dark spots for the best texture and added sweetness. 
• Almond milk, or other milk of choice. For a vegan oatmeal, use a plant based alternative. 
• Maple syrup, or other liquid sweetener like agave or honey for non vegan. Brown sugar or coconut sugar can also be used.
• Vanilla extract, a little vanilla ads a lot of flavor to this oatmeal bake. Another option is almond extract.
• Rolled oats, or old fashion oats. They will taste the best when baked, they hold their shape and create a great texture.
• Chia seeds, the seeds will add extra nutrients and it will also help with the texture of the baked oatmeal since this recipe is egg free. These seeds are high in fibre, antioxidants and protein.
• Baking powder, just a little to give this baked oatmeal more of a cake like texture.
• Salt, a little salt really helps bring out all the flavours.
• Almonds, chopped or slivered almonds. The nuts gives this baked oatmeal a great crunch and flavor. Other nuts like walnuts or pecans can also be used. They can also be left out for a nut free dish. 
• Raspberries, use fresh or frozen. No need to defrost them if you go with frozen berries, just add them to the oatmeal before baking. 
• Chocolate chips, use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips

Toppings (optional)

• Vanilla yoghurt, or other thick yoghurt of choice. 
• Maple syrup, to taste
• Raspberries, fresh or frozen or other berries of choice.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

• Nuts – Nuts will add a nice crunch and some added protein. This baked oatmeal recipe uses almonds, but any nut of choice works! For allergies, leave out the nuts, or use sunflower or pumpkin seeds. 
• Banana – Instead of mashed banana, apple sauce can also be used. Replace the banana with 1 cup applesauce or a full fat, thicker yoghurt. The banana ads a lot of natural sweetened to these raspberry baked oats, so if using yoghurt, taste and add more sweetener if needed.
• Berries – This baked oatmeal recipe uses either fresh or frozen raspberries. They can also be replaced with other berries, or a mix of berries of choice. Some good options are strawberries or blueberries, also check out this Blueberry banana baked oatmeal. 
• Sweetener – Instead of maple syrup, other liquid sweetener like agave syrup or some brown sugar can also be used. If you like a sweeter dish, add more sweetener to taste, or top the baked oatmeal with a drizzle of maple syrup. 
• Chocolate – Adding some chocolate chips is optional, but makes a dreamy combinations with the raspberries. Choose milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate. A chopped bar of chocolate also works great. Cacao nibs can also be used or the chocolate can be left out.

Variations

• Protein – For added protein, mix in 1 scoop of your favourite protein powder into the raspberry almond baked oatmeal. Some great flavours to use are vanilla, chocolate or berry flavor. Add a little more milk if needed.
• Make it Sweeter – This raspberry baked oatmeal is not overly sweet. Most of the sweetness comes from the very ripe bananas and just a little added maple syrup and optional chocolate chips. If you like a sweeter breakfast, taste the oatmeal before baking and add more sweetener to taste, or top the baked oatmeal with a drizzle of maple syrup. 
• Make it gluten-free – Although oats are naturally gluten-free, they can contain traces of gluten. To ensure gluten-free baked oats, use only certified gluten-free oats. They can usually be found in the glute-free section of the grocery store.
• Make it vegan – For a vegan baked oatmeal recipe, use a plant based milk like almond milk, soy milk or oat milk and also vegan chocolate chips if using. If topping with yoghurt, ensure it is plant based. Also see this Vegan Baked Oatmeal recipe.

Storage

This healthy raspberry baked oatmeal makes 9 portions and is a great meal prep for the week! To store baked oats, cut into pieces and place in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Store in the fridge without any toppings, it will keep for up to 4 days. 

You can also freeze raspberry baked oats for up to 3 months. I like to divide the pieces with some parchment paper. This way, it is easy to take out a single serving and the pieces won’t stick together. Place the baked oatmeal in a freezer friendly ziplock bag or an airtight container. Let defrost in room temperature and serve cold, or reheat in the microwave. Serve with some vanilla yoghurt and toppings of choice.
