Zucchini Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

I’m a sucker for a delicious and easy breakfast recipe that serves up vegetables in a creative way! And this healthy blueberry baked oatmeal 100% checks all those boxes.

If you are new to baked oatmeal, hold onto your hats! This is like delicious cake meets healthy oatmeal. Sounds amazing, right? That’s because it is! Plus its wildly easy to whip up first thing in the morning or throw together at night and bake while you are getting ready for your day.

Plus, it will make your house smell dreamy while it bakes to perfections.

Why I love and adore this Zucchini Baked Blueberry Oatmeal.

  • Super easy to make. Just mix everything in a bowl, throw it into a baking dish, and your work is done. It is great to prep the night before and store in the fridge. Then in the morning, breakfast is already made and you have time to get ready for the day.
  • Makes for great leftovers. This healthy baked oatmeal is a great recipe to make a big batch of at the start of the week and reheat as needed for a quick, delicious, and healthy breakfasts.
  • Satisfying & filling. Loaded with fiber from oats, protein from eggs and milk, this oatmeal really sticks with you until lunch!
  • Super tasty! Great combo of spices and fruit and veggies, this baked oatmeal is a hit with our family and friends.
  • Veggies at breakfast! This is not only a great recipe for using up some of that endless summer zucchini, but a delicious way to get something green in at breakfast.
  • Adaptable. This can easily be made gluten free, egg-free, dairy-free, vegan or with whatever ingredients you have on hand (see suggested adaptations below).

Suggested adaptations

  • Make it gluten free. Simply make sure the oats you are using in this blueberry baked oatmeal recipe are certified gluten free and you are good to go!
  • Use frozen blueberries instead of fresh. So you can enjoy this baked oatmeal almost any time of the year!
  • Make it dairy-free. Replace the milk with your favorite plant based milk.
  • Make it egg-free. Sub 2 “flax eggs” when making this recipe.
  • Swap out blueberries for another berry. Sliced strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of all would be dreamy in this baked oatmeal recipe.
  • Replace the grated zucchini with grated summer squash or carrots.
  • Add ground flax or chia seeds. Add a boost of nutrients by adding 2 Tablespoons of either to the oatmeal mixture before baking.
  • Make it ahead and reheat! The best part about this baked blueberry oatmeal is that it makes for amazing leftovers! To reheat it, just throw the pan of baked oatmeal into a 300℉ oven and let it warm up for about 10-15 minutes. You can also use a microwave if you prefer.
