Idea Posted By: So, How's It Taste?, found via Pinterest

Ingredients: old-fashioned rolled oats, pecans, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, maple syrup, milk, egg, butter, vanilla extract, peaches, strawberries, blueberries

Tools: oven, 2-quart baking dish, measuring cups, measuring spoons

The perfect way to start the day!

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional swap: walnuts), divided
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
3/4 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen, divided
1/4 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

Directions: Preheat the oven to 375F.

Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, half of the pecans, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a liquid measuring cup (at least 2 cups large), combine the syrup, milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.

In the baking dish, make a single layer of fruit with the peaches and half of the strawberries. Sprinkle the dry oat mixture in an even layer over the fruit. Then pour the liquid mixture in an even layer over the oats. Top with the remaining pecans, strawberries, and blueberries.

Bake in the oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, until the brown is browned and the oats have set. Let it stand and cool for 10 minutes before serving.


This recipe is equally easy to make and modify. When I wanted to make this oatmeal bake, I quickly discovered that I had a variety of fruit, but not exactly the fruit in the original recipe/pictures. Additionally, all of the fruit that I had was frozen and I am pleased that it does not matter if it is fresh or frozen in this recipe. I swapped out the bananas for peaches and because I did not have enough blueberries, I used strawberries to make up the difference. It is a very filling and warm dish which will be perfect for those upcoming chilly mornings this fall and winter. Any fruit could probably be used in this dish, dependent on how sweet/tart the fruit is and your desire of sweetness in your oatmeal.
