This berry vanilla baked oatmeal is a delicious, healthy make-ahead breakfast recipe. The flavor is amazing!

Baked oatmeal is an easy, make-ahead breakfast that can be flavored all sorts of ways. I have a blueberry banana baked oatmeal recipe in my book, Conquering Your Kitchen. It’s one of my favorite recipes in the book.
Not everyone loves bananas like I do, though. Without the banana in my baked oatmeal, a substitute is needed to boost the flavor. Vanilla extract is the perfect substitute here.
Adding vanilla is a great way to flavor recipes without adding extra sugar. I like to make my own vanilla extract. The homemade version is a lot less expensive than the grocery store kind, and it makes a great hostess gift.
This berry vanilla baked oatmeal is a healthy, tasty breakfast treat. You can stir the ingredients together at night, and in the morning you just pop it in the oven.

Can you use frozen berries?
Yes, Erica, I usually use frozen berries in my baked oatmeal. Works like a charm!
This looks delicious! I made a baked oatmeal similar to this not too long ago! Such a great way to make sure you have a healthy start to your day!
homemade vanilla! love it… i’ve always meant to make it too. thanks for the recipe… now i have no excuse!
Thanks, Gretchen. Give it a try – it couldn’t be easier to make!
Hi Annemarie! Vanilla extract is one of those things I’ve always meant to make but never have. I’ve had some vanilla beans in the cabinet for 2 years-don’t even know if they’re good anymore! This recipe looks delicious, pinning for later 🙂
If you already have the beans, that’s half the battle! Go get some vodka and give it a try.
