Oatmeal Breakfast Bake with Berries and Almonds

If I want to make this in cupcake tins instead, is there any adjustment to the recipe?

Hello! Looking forward to making this for guests next week. I see where viewers added extra water but I don’t see where it mentions any water in the recipe? What did I miss? Thank you!

If this is made in advance, how should it be reheated?

I have never cared much for oatmeal anyway I have tried it. I did add the extra water and baked for the recommended time and it came out perfect! This is by far the best way I have ever had oatmeal. Baked it immediately after mixing.

This is delicious. I’m thinking the conversation over the added water/increased cook time might be because if you bake it immediately, it may seem like too much liquid. If you prepare it ahead of time and have it wait overnight, or even 2 nights, that amount of liquid makes sense, and no adjustment is needed for extra baking. Either way, this is a great recipe, thanks!

Need a substitute for oats.

I make this on Sunday and eat it for breakfast all week, dividing it into 5 portions. I increased maple syrup to 1/3 cup, use crushed walnuts instead of almonds, use 2 tsp of cinnamon, and use only blueberries(3 cups) for the fruit. I love this recipe. It's so delicious. I also agree that the 3/4 cups of water should be included in the list of ingredients. I bake it for 65 mins.

Thanks to this delicious recipe, I no longer skip breakfast. I reduce the added water to 1/3 cup and bake for 50 minutes, which works fine. I keep individually wrapped portions in the freezer and eat the reheated oatmeal with some peanut butter stirred in - so good!

Always a big hit. The recipe online calls for the extra water, the version in the FoK magazine omits it. I do not use it and it turns out perfectly. Added some chia seeds this morning.

This is so delicious!!! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that it took one hour and 10 minutes to bake. Next time I'll omit the water. My oven is accurate, I checked it with an oven thermometer. This is going to be my go to for breakfast from now on. I can't wait to try some of the add ins I see here on this thread! Thank You!

Can this be frozen? Or baked in smaller dishes? If so, for how long?

Prepared this recipe night before a breakfast potluck. Baked it at the venue and wow, did it make the room smell wonderful. It is equally tasty and healthy. I had berries, bananas, honey, syrup, as condiments. It was a total hit.

At what point do you add the cinnamon?

Excellent oatmeal bake! Easy and so tasty. Staple at my house.

I found the 3/4 cup additional water to be unnecessary. Makes it too gooey. With the extra water I had to cook it for an additional 30 minutes to get it to where it needed to be.

Thanks for the recipe, love it! I added a ripe mashed banana instead of maple syrup. It was definitely sweet enough. Will certainly make it again!

This is so tasty! I was a bit confused about adding the water which wasn't included in the recipe ingredient list. I'll definitely be doing more experimentation with this.

That's what I was wondering - this recipe was great but had a lot of fluid once it was finished in the oven. I think I'll try it without the next time (and there will be many next times!) without the 3/4 cup of water. Might add a tiny bit of ground cloves and some chopped dates to see how that turns out.

Love this breakfast dish! Very simple to make (I did need to add 15 minutes baking time for my oven) and I like that I can make it the night before and bake in the morning to serve warm.

This doesn't make sense... which is it water or plant based milk?

Can this be frozen in individual servings?

I agree with several other reviewers. Please list all ingredients, including WATER, in the order in which they are added. Do not bury the words “add 3/4 c water” down in the text. I speak from bitter experience here, having ruined a recipe which shall remain nameless, because I followed the instructions to add all ingredients down to a certain one and did not see water in that list of ingredients. My bad, but it could have been easily avoided if water had been included in the list of ingredients.

Could this recipe be adapted for steel cut oats?

This recipe has been great addition to our plant based lifestyle. Even my kids will eat it. It took a little longer to bake but came out great. I make 2 batches On Sunday and then cut into portions and freeze for quick breakfasts for the family during the week. We have also made it with apples and apple pie spice and it was great for a change.

The recipe says prep time is 10 minutes and is ready in 2 hours...yet you only bake for 40 minutes? Are you supposed to bake for 1 hour at the end of step 1? Then top and continue baking?

Just scrumptious! TY!

This is fabulous. Leave in fridge for a day before cooking. Great with chopped walnuts. I use lasagna dish and now make two in a row as it freezes well in foil packets. Thaw and heat in air fryer part of my simple toaster oven.

Mine never got "bubbly around the edges". Is that normal?

What are the breakdowns: carbs?, protein? Etc.

Delicious! Took longer than 30 minutes (more like 50) to get a nice golden brown color, but I didn’t really measure the liquid amounts so that might be why. I didn’t have berries so I added golden raisins, almonds and some mashed sweet potato.

Good recipe. Was easy to make. It was a nice change from oatmeal cooked in a pan.

What size pan is it cooked. Average size cookie sheet? Dimensions?

My young family of six LOVED this breakfast! I didn’t have raisins. I snuck in pieces of prunes. Delicious! The liquid amount worried me, but I followed the recipe.

This is an excellent recipe, and it is so easy to make. You can make it right in the baking dish. I've created two other versions of it: One with mashed sweet potatoes, instead of fruit, with a pecan and brown sugar topping; and in the second version I use chopped apples with chopped walnuts on top. Thank you Forks Over Knives for another good recipe!!

I’ve read recipe and comments regarding water. Mix first 6 ingredients and also 3/4 cup water. Correct? This sounds really good but obviously too much liquid would be a problem. Want to be clear before I try this. Thanks.

This is a hearty and delicious breakfast! I followed the directions pretty closely but halved the amount of maple syrup. If the fruit used is super sweet I think next time I will put in 1/8 of a cup. I used blueberries and blackberries and it was wonderful! Smells fantastic while baking.

This is very good. I made a portion for one with half a cup of oatmeal and 3/4 cup water and added some chia seeds. In truth, I don't particularly like oatmeal but the rolled oats formed a soft crust under the blueberries and I felt like I was eating pie.

I made this last night and baked it this morning - it was good! The oats, soaked overnight, are a bit chewy (which I like) and the whole bake was very moist. It's a very mellow flavor with pops of zing from the raisins. I love batch cooking this way. Make it Sunday night and you're all set for the week.

I have made this several times - it’s like having dessert for breakfast (and I mean that in a good way). The berries (I have used raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries) add flavour and sweetness. Flavourful and nutritious! This will be a regular breakfast for me.

This was really good and tasty. I used dairy-free half and half with plenty of raisins (I love raisins) and it was delicious. I will definitely be making again. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is so good. I made it the night before and baked it in the morning. Leftovers were very easy to heat up in the microwave without losing any flavor or texture,

In the description of this recipe it states oats are soaked over night.But in the directions it does not say to do that . So are you supposed to do soak overnight ?or is that just an option?

I absolutely love this recipe just as it is I have made it so much that I know it by heart. Keep up the good work providing these wonderful recipes for all of us to try.

It looks delicious, can’t wait to try it!!

I’m confused, do you add water to this recipe?

Great way to eat oats that are not "wet"! *** Recipe developers, STOP leaving ingredients out of the list! If it needs salt, or water... LIST it. If it's needed in multiple steps, say (Divided). ALSO, list ingredients in order of use! (Many do not)

For many years I followed your recipes but now as a widow, the recipe and many others are too much. How do I cut it down for me? Help

I am confused, do you bake the oatmeal base first then add the fruits and nuts? Or just bake it once when you add the fruit?

Nutritional details are important to many folks. Am I missing them here? Are they provided within any recipe on this wonderful site?

My 5 and 7 year old love this!

Does it need to be chilled overnight before baking? Can you confirm the liquid measurements? The water is not listed in the ingredients list. Thank you

I love this recipe. I tweaked it using what I had in the house! Very delicious and easy!!!

What’s with the 3/4 c of water and where did the 3 c of plant based milk go?
