Always with the summer fruit. Fruit is great in the summer, but it’s available for such a limited time that I always jump on it and bake everything all at once. I always eat baked oatmeal for breakfast because it’s convenient to meal prep ahead of time. I wouldn’t eat a healthy breakfast if I didn’t have it ready to go in the fridge.

Blackberry Nectarine Baked Oatmeal is a heart healthy breakfast idea

You can reheat baked oatmeal but I usually don’t, because I don’t prefer to put a tremendous amount of effort into my breakfast each morning. It’s fine cold, straight from the fridge. This is a simple recipe and you don’t need to be too precise with it.

Blackberry Nectarine Baked Oatmeal

Servings: 4

Calories: 342kcal

Ingredients

1½ cups unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup liquid egg whites
¼ cup sugar granulated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup milk of your choice
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 nectarines (sliced)
1½ cups blackberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Spray an 8×8-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg and egg whites until eggs are fully beaten.
Whisk in the sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt and cinnamon
Stir in the milk
Stir in the oats
Stir in the sliced nectarines and blackberries
Pop the whole thing in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. If you're using frozen fruit, you might need to bake it a little longer (about an hour), so keep an eye on it! You'll know it's done when a skewer or knife inserted into the center of the oatmeal comes out clean.
