Streusel Strawberry Baked Oatmeal

Baked with juicy strawberries and a buttery streusel on top, this strawberry baked oatmeal is soft, fluffy, and incredible with creamy Greek yogurt.

Strawberry season is the best season! Especially when your breakfast game is looking as fire as this.

Oatmeal may get a bad rap for being boring, but that’s definitely not the case today! We’re making it baked-style and jamming an approximate truckload of luscious strawberries and buttery streusel into the mix.

Yeah, suffice to say you’re going to want this goodness in your life every dang morning.

My favorite part about baked oatmeal is that it’s just as good reheated! I love making an extra pan of this oatmeal for the freezer so my family can quickly thaw slices and enjoy them for breakfast as needed.

That and the fact that it’s absolutely BOMB with your favorite cup of Greek yogurt dolloped on top.

This Baked Oatmeal features…

• A perfectly soft texture with lots of tender oats
• Juicy fresh strawberry chunks and buttery streusel topping
• Only minutes to make with a freezing option

Fresh vs. Frozen Strawberries

This baked oatmeal works great with both fresh and frozen strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, there is no need to thaw them – just toss them straight from the freezer into the oatmeal.

Tips for Perfect Baked Oatmeal

1. Use old-fashioned rolled oats – do not substitute quick oats for this recipe or you will end up with a very different texture.
2. Cut strawberries into uniform cubes – aim for 1/2-inch cubes so the strawberries all cook evenly in the oatmeal.
3. Divide strawberries – fold 1 cup strawberries into the batter and save the remaining 1/2 cup for sprinkling on top so you get juicy strawberries in every bite.
4. Serve oatmeal warm – allow the oatmeal to cool slightly before cutting, but then I highly recommend serving warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on this oatmeal.

• Use a different fruit – try raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or peaches in place of the strawberries. You can also use a combination of several different fruits.
• Top oatmeal with a glaze – try a simple powdered sugar glaze or a drizzle of melted semisweet chocolate.
• Add citrus – add 1 tablespoon grated orange, lime, or lemon zest to oatmeal batter.
• Add nuts – fold 1/2 cup toasted and chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts to oatmeal batter.

Storing and Freezing Oatmeal

Allow oatmeal to cool completely, then store in refrigerator up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in microwave 30-60 seconds and serve warm with Greek yogurt.

To freeze oatmeal, allow to cool completely, then wrap well and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw baked oatmeal completely at room temperature, then store in refrigerator up to 4 days.

Every bite of this baked oatmeal is absolutely bursting with juicy strawberries and all that buttery streusel goodness! Highly recommend pairing it with a good dollop of creamy yogurt for a winning breakfast experience.

Congrats, your oatmeal game is on fire for the foreseeable future!
