Two really exciting things have happened this (crazy) week. One: I launched a new website at work today! This project has been consuming (understatement?) me for the last few months and to have it completed…amazing! Work on Phase 2 starts soon. 🙂 Two: I started a baby registry! This was one of those tasks that I kept putting off, but now that I’m finally in it, it’s so fun! And a little stressful. Which car-seat? Which bath tub? There are SO many choices.
When life gets busy, staying healthy (exercising, eating well, not stressing) is tough. And in my opinion, it’s when planning ahead – and prepping – makes a huge difference.
Baked oatmeal. It makes SO much sense.
You stir ingredients together. You bake them. Healthy breakfast is made for the week!
I’ve mentioned it before, but I eat breakfast at work so I’m always looking for breakfasts that can be made ahead of time and easily transported to work. (Also, you should see the massive “lunch” bag I take with me every day.)
This version of baked oatmeal utilizes a number of good-for-you ingredients like antioxidant-rich blueberries, omega-3 -rich walnuts, full-of-fiber oats, all while still tasting delicious. You don’t have to tell anyone its really good for you.
Blueberry & Banana Baked Oatmeal is:
- 100% whole-grain
- gluten-free
- refined sugar-free
- full of protein-rich ingredients like eggs, milk and walnuts
To re-heat, simply microwave until warm and top with a splash of milk or half & half.
Enjoy!

Congrats on the new website launch – i hopped over and it looks really nice. I am an eat breakfast at work girl too. A few weeks ago I made a banana chai baked oatmeal that was super good and I definitely want to try this version.

Thank you so much Amanda! Banana Baked Chai Oatmeal?! Sounds heavenly? Did I miss this on your site?
Karla @ Foodologie
Woo! Yay for website launch!! Is it silly that baked banana oatmeal makes me feel guilty because I feel like I’m eating dessert for breakfast.
Emily
YES! You shouldn’t feel guilty at all. AT ALL! 🙂

The new website looks awesome. Well done! And, this breakfast? Who doesn’t love something warm and hearty, especially in Minnesnowta? 🙂 Love the idea of a splash of (almond) milk on top, too.

Is the 268 calories per serving and if so how much is a serving size?
★★★★

Hi Maddy,
The nutrition facts are for six servings, so you can just cut it into six pieces (or it would be a little less if you decided to cut it into eight pieces). Does that help?
