High Protein Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

High Protein B;ueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal is the ultimate back-to-school (or back-to-routine) breakfast hero! Packed with wholesome ingredients, plant based protein, it’s so easy to make ahead and perfect for cozy mornings or post-workout snacking! Ripe bananas and my favorite St. Dalfour Blueberry Jam (the one with whole, juicy blueberries and zero added sugar!) team up to create a naturally sweet, jammy swirl in every bite. Baked in the cutest little Le Creuset Coquette, it comes out looking as good as it tastes—soft, moist, cake-like oats with golden edges and bursts of blueberry goodness. Slice it up for grab-and-go breakfasts or enjoy it warm out of the oven, and you’ll see why this is no ordinary baked oatmeal recipe.

What is Baked Oatmeal?

Baked oatmeal is a hearty breakfast dish made by combining oats, liquid, and mix-ins like fruit, spices, and seeds, then baking it until it’s golden and set. Unlike stovetop oats, it has a soft, cake-like texture and is perfect for slicing into portions. It’s a great healthy snack recipe and gluten free breakfast option because it’s easy to prep, high in fiber, and endlessly customizable. Think of it like breakfast-meets-snack-meets-dessert—but make it Jackfruitful style; easy and nutritious!

Ingredients for High Protein Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

Here’s what you’ll need:

Ripe bananas: Truly, the riper the better. They add a natural sweetness and are full of potassium. They are the base of this recipe.
Gluten free rolled oats: Provide fiber and whole grain goodness. Use certified gluten-free oats for a fully gluten free breakfast.
Vegan vanilla protein powder: Adds a protein boost and a touch of sweetness.
Cinnamon + sea salt: For flavor, balance and warmth.
Ground flaxseed: Adds fiber and healthy fats, while helping bind the oats together.
Baking powder: Gives lift and structure to the baked oats.
Plain unsweetened soy milk: I try to always aim for unsweetened so I can control the amount of sugar in my recipes. If sweetened is all you have, that’s okay too!
St. Dalfour blueberry jam: My all-time favorite jam, that I’ve used in countless recipes! St Dalfour adds the perfect amount of natural sweetness and vibrant blueberry flavor with no added sugar!
Chopped pecans: Add crunch, healthy fats, and a buttery note. Use any nut you’d like; walnuts or cashews would both bake up nicely in this recipe.

How to Make This High Protein Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

This protein oats recipe comes together in just one blender and one baking dish, making it the perfect no-fuss recipe.

Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F so it’s ready to go once your batter is prepped.

Blend the Batter

In a blender, combine the bananas, gluten free rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, sea salt, flaxseed, baking powder, and soy milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Assemble Your Oatmeal

Pour the blended batter into a small baking dish or Coquette. Add a few spoonfuls of blueberry jam and gently swirl it into the top of the mixture. Finish with sliced bananas and chopped pecans for texture and visual appeal.

Bake and Cool

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

How to Serve Baked Oatmeal

This healthy blueberry baked oatmeal is delicious right out of the oven or chilled straight from the fridge. Serve it:

Warm with a splash of extra soy milk
Drizzled with almond butter or tahini
Topped with dairy-free yogurt and fresh blueberries
Add a little more St Dalfour to the top
With a sprinkle of hemp hearts or chia seeds for even more protein

Can You Make Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Ahead of Time?

Totally! One of the things I love the most about this recipe is that it’s meal prep made easy. You can eat this warm and fresh out of the oven, or you can enjoy it a few days later. Baked blueberry oatmeal is perfect the make on Sunday and enjoy it all week long! It holds up beautifully in the fridge and reheats well, making it one of the easiest healthy snack recipes for busy weekdays.

How to Store and Reheat Baked Oatmeal

To keep your protein oatmeal bake fresh, refrigerate it for up to 5 days in an airtight container (let’s see if it lasts that long!). You can also slice it and freeze it to save for up to 3 months for long term meal prep.

Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Recipe Tips

Use overripe bananas: For maximum natural sweetness and the best texture.
Blend for creaminess: Pureeing the batter ensures a smooth, almost cake-like finish.
Swirl with jam: Don’t mix it all in—let those juicy blueberry pockets shine.
Boost the protein: Add a dollop of dairy-free Greek yogurt on top for even more protein in oatmeal.

Tips for Making the Best Protein Baked Oats

Choose a protein powder you love the taste of. It makes a difference! One that bakes well and preferably isn’t sweetened like crazy!
Don’t overbake—check for doneness at the 30-minute mark.
Let it cool slightly before slicing for clean edges and the best texture.
Customize it with your favorite add-ins: walnuts, coconut flakes, or dark chocolate chips.
