Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between rolled oats and quick oats?

Rolled oats (old-fashioned) and quick oats are both made using a process that hull, cuts, steams, and then rolls the oats. Quick oats are rolled much thinner, which decreases the time needed to cook the oats. Nutritionally, both oats are similar, but quick oats have a mushier texture. While you can usually swap oats evenly in most recipes, a blend of rolled and quick oats will give you a lovely texture. 

Can you make blueberry oatmeal bake ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe keeps well in the fridge for several days and can be frozen. You can also mix the batter the night before (leave out the blueberries) and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. In the morning, mix in the frozen blueberries and bake as directed. 

Is baked oatmeal gluten free?

To make this blueberry baked oats recipe gluten free, you should select oats labeled as gluten free. Although oats alone don’t contain gluten, they are often processed on the same equipment as wheat and barley. 

Is banana blueberry oatmeal bake healthy?

While not a low-calorie food, this blueberry baked oats recipe has several healthy ingredients. Oatmeal is loaded with whole grains and fiber and is good for your heart. Blueberries have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and bananas are loaded with vitamins and potassium.

How do I store and reheat baked oatmeal with blueberries?

This banana blueberry oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, so it’s perfect for a make-ahead breakfast option. You can reheat the baked oatmeal in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or serve it cold. You can also warm it in a 300 degrees F oven until warmed through.

Can I freeze baked oatmeal?

Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and warm individual portions before serving. 

What to serve with blueberry oatmeal bake?

This healthy baked oatmeal breakfast is delicious and filling so there isn’t much you can do to improve it but this Easy Fruit Salad or an Orange Smoothie would compliment it beautifully. And don’t forget the hot coffee!
