I have made a lot of oatmeal bakes in my time, and I always thought they were too dry. Over the years I have also had to modify them to be gluten, dairy, and egg free as well. So I wanted to make one that could be any of those, but could also be made with those ingredients. And that’s why I think this recipe is so well loved. It can be modified to be whatever you need it to be and it’s still delicious.
A couple of notes and modifications.
We get a lot of questions about what oats work best for this recipe! I like to use quick oats for the texture, but honestly, any oats or combination of oats will do. I use these oats most often but also love these! Honestly, I think it’s all preference. So just play around with it!
Next up… let’s talk about making this dairy free. To make this recipe dairy free, I simply use dairy free butter and oat milk. We love oat milk in our house, but almond or any nut milk will work! So simple!
Lastly, I like to make this recipe egg free also, because one of my girls does better off of them. It’s so simple. Ground flax. 1 flax egg = 1 egg (1 Tbsp. flax and 3 Tbsp. water). This recipe calls for 2, so I just double it!
That’s it!
I think that’s it! This recipe is great to meal prep and eat on throughout the week. It’s also great for a weekend brunch with family or friends! You can eat it plain, but we love to put a big scoop of yogurt on it for some creaminess and extra protein. Looking for other breakfast ideas? We have so many good ones and you can find them here. Ok, here is the recipe! We hope you enjoy the mixed berry oatmeal bake as much as we do.
