About the Recipe
Baked oatmeal is one of our ultimate favorite breakfasts. It is so quick to put together and the flavor options are endless.
Once I found a base recipe I loved, I couldn’t stop playing with flavor variations. It’s been a while since I shared a new version with you, so I thought it was time for a new one.
MiMi actually suggested doing a lemon, honey and blueberry oatmeal version some time back. So when I got a pint of blueberries from our CSA, it seemed high time to finally do it.
Of course lemon and honey are such a perfect pairing. Lemon and berries are another natural match.
So it makes perfect sense that this combination was good. Even after all of the baked oatmeal recipes I’ve tried, I think this is a new favorite!
Don’t tell the recipe for brownie baked oatmeal though. I don’t want that one to get jealous!

Looks amazing. Can you use frozen blueberries? My bushes went crazy last year and I have a lot frozen
Yes, frozen blueberries would work great. How lucky to have so many of your own.
Super easy and delicious! I used oat milk and zested a fresh lemon. I would definitely make this again using a slightly bigger pan, so I can cut it into 9 pieces.
I am so happy that you liked it!
I love the ingredients in your baked oatmeal!
Thank you! This is one of my favorite flavor combinations!
there’s no sugar in the list of ingredients, but it’s in the directions. and do we use baking soda or powder?
The honey is the only sugar. And baking soda works well in this recipe because there are plenty of acidic ingredients.
It says to add flour but I don’t see it in the receipe
I’m sorry about that! I used to add a couple of Tablespoons of flour to my baked oatmeal recipes. I stopped doing that a while back because it’s not necessary. I must have forgotten to update the instructions when I took it out of the recipe. When I remade the oatmeal I didn’t use any and that is what is in these pictures.
You had me at lemon and then blueberry just pushed it over the top. We've been trying to eat more oatmeal and this sounds like a great way to do that.
This is such a great way to make oatmeal cravable 😉
This looks scrumptious! Happy Monday!
I will, thank you!
