This easy oatmeal recipe is made with fresh fruit and is not only delicious but healthy. Make this Baked Strawberry Banana Oatmeal recipe the first thing in the morning or prep the night before to save time.
When it comes to breakfast time, I’m all for the quick and easy options, especially during the school week. I prefer meals that I can prep ahead of time and freeze, or that take under 10 minutes to prep in the morning. Lately I’ve been into oatmeal and often purchase the apple cinnamon blend that I can heat up in the microwave, but this past week I decided to give homemade oatmeal a try. I remembered seeing a Baked Strawberry-Banana Oatmeal recipe a few weeks ago and knowing that we had quick cooking oats and over-ripened bananas sitting on the counter I knew it was the perfect time to make it.

Notes
This baked oatmeal recipe was delicious with the bananas and strawberries, there was enough leftovers that I was able to eat it for more then one breakfast. It’s so nice to wake up to a home cooked meal with fresh fruit. Although the Baked Strawberry Banana Oatmeal was sweet enough for myself – the overripe bananas add sweetness, if you prefer your oatmeal extra sweet like my husband I’d recommend using 1/3 cup brown sugar.
This week we have peaches and blueberries so I plan to try baked Blueberry & Peach Oatmeal.
