I made this Blueberry Baked N’Oatmeal on a Monday, and shamelessly ate it for several meals in a row after perfecting the recipe (not to mention straight from the pan)! I named it Blueberry Baked “N’Oatmeal” because it’s not oatmeal. See what I did there?
It makes a wonderfully filling make-ahead breakfast that keeps well for days and is delicious hot or cold. Sometimes I really crave something else in the morning aside from eggs, and this is a wonderful alternative. Spoon it into a bowl or mug and top with whipped cream, more berries, a drizzle of honey, or enjoy as-is for a fruit-sweetened breakfast or snack loaded with healthy fats in the nuts and coconut.
Blueberry Baked N’Oatmeal
- Prep Time: 20 min
- Cook Time: 45 min
- Total Time: 1 hr 5 min
- Yield: 6–8 servings 1x
Scale
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup roughly-chopped pecans
- 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups milk or coconut milk
- 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz or 1 pint fresh or frozen blueberries (or 2 1/2 cups of your preferred berry/fruit, chopped into 1/2” pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8″ square baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut, pecans, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the milk, banana, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla. Whisk until blended, then stir into the dry ingredients.
- Reserve about ½ cup of the berries for topping the baked oatmeal, then gently stir the rest into the batter. Spoon into the greased cake pan. Scatter the remaining berries across the top, and additional chopped pecans if desired.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the top is cooked and golden. Remove your baked n’oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

The baked oatmeal dish looks amazing. I could eat that right now. The recipe seems very easy too. I am a big oatmeal eater so I will have to try doing this bake. The pictures of the falls are beautiful too.

Ann
Grok GrubThis does look great but I do not see how much oatmeal.
Fresh Planet Flavor
AnnIt’s not oatmeal, that’s why it’s called “n’oatmeal”!

Grok GrubDid I miss the oats? Why is it called oatmeal?
Fresh Planet Flavor
MissyIt’s called n’oatmeal because it’s not oats, actually.

Oh now how amazing is this blueberry recipe?! I love anything with blueberries, so I know I’ll live this! And that waterfall is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this recipe and your experience!

marcia kirschbaum
Grok GrubOMG! SO happy to see that is contains no oats! Not because I don’t like them, but I re-read the recipe over and over, but didn’t see oats in the ingredients – even though it is in the title… thought that I was losing it! LOL Making it either way!

That oatmeal looks so comforting! As a fellow Bay Area resident, there really aren’t any signs of spring are there?? My parents are in Monterey County and it at least looks like spring there!

Those pictures of Yosemite are gorgeous! I’ve actually been planning to make a trip down there soon. This post absolutely makes me want to go!! Also, you had me at something besides eggs for breakfast. I’ve been having hard boiled eggs for breakfast for like three weeks, so anything that could be new is greatly appreciated!! Thanks for sharing!

YUM! I love oatmeal, but have yet to try it baked. This one looks delicious with my favorite oatmeal flavors!

Outside of the vanilla, I can totally make this recipe while on the Whole30. I will be pinning this immediately. Thanks for sharing!

Amber @ Amber LatelyOh, totally just leave the vanilla out, then!

Grok GrubUse vanilla bean powder at a 1:1 ratio rather than vanilla extract!

Looks great! Do you think flaked coconut would work instead of shredded?
Grok Grub
AngieI would pulse the flaked coconut in my food processor first to break it down into smaller chunks.
Nikki
Can coconut milk be used instead of nut milk? Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
Grok Grub
NikkiYep, coconut milk can be used for sure!
Kari Peters
I love that there isn’t any actual oatmeal in this recipe, I’ve been looking for some breakfasts that I can make ahead for company, and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for – thanks for a great recipe! Your Yosemite pictures are gorgeous, I can’t wait to go someday!

This was surprisingly great! My husband liked it and my kids, 2 of which are teenagers and picky. It is so easy, smells great while it’s baking and tastes good warm or straight out of the refrigerator. I have made it twice in one week. I am always looking for alternatives to egg based recipes. This is wonderful!

Banana Cream Pie N'Oatmeal (& A Brief History of Breakfast) | Grok GrubHi just made it 🙂 is 45 mns enough? I am using the fan to cook. Should it be wet? Is it because of the blueberries?
Fresh Planet Flavor
CharlotteYou’re using the fan to cook? What does that mean?
theresa henderson
I was wondering what the texture is like. It is cake like or is it pudding like?
Thank you
Fresh Planet Flavor
theresa hendersonDefinitely more cake-like than pudding.
Jessica
I don’t see oatmeal in this recipe anywhere. Are you suppose to use shredded unsweetened coconut or?
Looks amazing however, I’m confused as to what your recipe states ingredient wise.
Fresh Planet Flavor
JessicaShredded unsweetened coconut is what you use instead of oatmeal. That’s why it’s called “N’Oatmeal”… which stands for NOT OATMEAL.
Jessica
Fresh Planet FlavorOh okay! Thank you! Does it have a strong coconut flavor using that much then? I made it with regular oatmeal and the recipe is still amazing. Do you by chance know the calorie count on the recipe?
Fresh Planet Flavor
JessicaI don’t think it does, but I may have skewed taste buds since I eat coconut very regularly!
Fresh Planet Flavor
Fresh Planet FlavorI also do not track calories, so I am not quite sure of the count.
Jenni
I’m following the AIP diet and I miss baked oats terribly. Do you think a gelatin egg would work to replace?
Fresh Planet Flavor
JenniWell… I have not tried it, or ever worked with gelatin eggs before. I think it is worth a try, though. 🙂

Amanda
I’m going to be traveling and wondering if I could make this ahead and if it would need to be refrigerated? My thoughts are people make things like cookies and cakes all the time that have an egg or 2 in them and they don’t put those in the fridge…
Fresh Planet Flavor
AmandaThe issue is with the goji berries… I have had a batch grow mold on the goji berries after a week of refrigeration, but this could have been simply due to a low-quality batch.
Abby
This looks dope as heck. Can you freeze it, do you know?
Dana
Why the banana? I hate them and wonder if I can sub for something else like apple sauce? This looks delish other than the banana.

I noticed only one person reported eating this. We made it. We ate it. It’s fantastic. Another Rachel recipe at the top of our list. I’m hoping I can get Rachel to make the pecan chocolate bars for us for our group birthday next month ; ) They look very tasty. But we may get something far fancier, knowing Rachel. Lucky us!
★★★★★
Fresh Planet Flavor
CandaceHa, wow thank you for the lovely compliment! Yes, we’ll see about the birthdays…
Sara
I loved this! My kids weren’t too crazy about it though. I think if I work with the ratios–maybe using one more egg and slightly less milk–they will like it more. I will definitely make it again, even if I’m the only one to eat it! I calculated the calories and net carbs, and I was pleasantly surprised. 🙂 Thanks for this recipe!
Fresh Planet Flavor
SaraHmmmm, thanks for the feedback! Was it too mushy?

Hi! This looks delicious, I’m not paleo and I eat oatmeal all the time but it’s always great to switch things up! Do you think you could swap walnuts for pecans in this recipe? Just what I have on hand right now!

Do you have the nutritional info?
Fresh Planet Flavor
ElayneYes, it’s up there in the recipe card.
Noonya
Either I’m just using way different ingredients or not reading this recipe correctly but 8 servings of this for me was well over 45 cals per serving. Thanks for sharing the recipe. It’s in the oven now, hopefully it makes it worth the fat and carbs I wasn’t expecting to eat.
Fresh Planet Flavor
NoonyaThank you so much for bringing this to my attention. 45 calories per serving? Didn’t seem right, so I checked my nutrition facts calculator and I’d entered “serves 6-8” which was causing it to miscalculate. I changed it to “serves 8”, and the correct calories have populated: 301 per serving. I apologize for the error!
Tracy
What is the carb value in this recipe? It’s missing from the nutrition facts. Thanks.
Dawn
I made this today with homemade sausage patties. I’ve missed oats every morning since going grain/gluten free. This hit the spot!!! Do you think individual portions would freeze well?
