Ingredients

  

1x2x3x?

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds plus extra for topping
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1.5 cups fresh raspberries

Method

 

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in 1 cup of the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
5. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Scatter the remaining raspberries on top and sprinkle with extra sliced almonds.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with additional maple syrup, milk, or yogurt if desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh raspberries rather than frozen to prevent excess moisture. This baked oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheats beautifully in the microwave. You can substitute the almond extract with additional vanilla if preferred, though the almond flavor pairs wonderfully with the raspberries.

Why This Raspberry Almond Baked Oatmeal Has Become My Breakfast Obsession

I first made this recipe on a lazy Sunday morning when I wanted something special but didn’t feel like going out for brunch. The moment that almond and cinnamon scent started filling my kitchen, I knew I’d stumbled onto something special. Now it’s my go-to when I need a comforting breakfast that feels indulgent but is actually good for me.

There’s something so satisfying about pulling a golden pan of baked oatmeal from the oven. The way the raspberries burst when you cut into it, the crunch of the almonds against the creamy oats – it’s like breakfast and dessert had a delicious baby. And the best part? It’s practically foolproof. Even on days when I’m half-asleep and measuring ingredients with my eyes closed, this recipe comes out perfect.

5 Easy Tips for Raspberry Almond Baked Oatmeal That Actually Tastes Amazing

I’ve made this recipe more times than I can count, and along the way I’ve picked up some tricks that take it from good to “can I have seconds?” Here’s what I’ve learned:

1. Don’t skimp on the oats quality. Old-fashioned rolled oats are the way to go here. I tried making this with quick oats once (in a moment of laziness) and it turned into a sad, mushy mess. The rolled oats give you that perfect chewy texture that makes baked oatmeal so satisfying. Steel-cut oats are too hearty for this – they stay too firm even after baking.

2. Let the mixture rest before baking. This is one of those little steps that makes a big difference. After you mix everything together, let it sit for about 10-15 minutes before popping it in the oven. This gives the oats time to absorb some of the liquid, which means your baked oatmeal will hold together better and have a creamier texture. It’s like letting a cake batter rest – the flavors have time to meld and the texture improves.

3. Be gentle with the raspberries. I learned this the hard way when my first attempt looked more like raspberry soup than baked oatmeal. When you’re folding in the berries, do it gently so you don’t crush them. And definitely save some for the top – not only does it look pretty, but those little bursts of raspberry juice are one of the best parts of eating this!

4. Play with your toppings. While this recipe is delicious as-is, I love experimenting with different toppings. A dollop of Greek yogurt adds creaminess, a sprinkle of coconut flakes gives it a tropical twist, or even a drizzle of melted peanut butter if you’re feeling decadent. My kids love it when I make little smiley faces with the toppings – it makes breakfast way more fun.

5. Make it ahead for stress-free mornings. This is hands-down my favorite thing about baked oatmeal. You can make it the night before, let it cool, then cover and refrigerate. In the morning, just pop it in the microwave for a minute or two and you’ve got a warm, comforting breakfast ready to go. I like to portion it out into containers so I can grab one on my way out the door. It’s been a game-changer for my busy mornings!

One last thing – don’t be afraid to make this your own. Swap the raspberries for blueberries or blackberries if that’s what you have on hand. Use pecans instead of almonds. Add some chocolate chips if you’re feeling indulgent. The beauty of baked oatmeal is that it’s incredibly forgiving. Whatever you do, just promise me you’ll make it at least once. Your taste buds will thank you!
