Introduction

Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal is a delicious and nutritious breakfast that blends the creamy flavors of cheesecake with fresh strawberries in a hearty baked oatmeal dish. It’s perfect for meal prep and can be enjoyed warm or cold, making mornings easier and tastier.

A square slice of baked oat bar is shown on a white square plate against a white marbled surface, topped with a drizzle of light cream sauce. The oat bar has three visible layers: the bottom is a dense light beige oat mixture, the middle layer contains pieces of red strawberries mixed with oats, and the top layer consists of golden-brown toasted oats with glossy strawberry slices arranged neatly on top. A silver spoon rests beside the bar, and in the background, whole strawberries and a white baking dish are visible but slightly blurred. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or cream cheese, softened)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen strawberries, thawed)
1/4 cup chocolate chips or white chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt (or cream cheese), maple syrup (or honey), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
Step 4: Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, taking care not to mash them.
Step 5: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Step 6: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or white chocolate chips on top.
Step 7: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
Step 8: Let the baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
Step 9: Serve warm, or store in the refrigerator to enjoy cold or reheated later.

Tips & Variations

Substitute strawberries with other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or chopped peaches for variety.
Add chopped nuts such as walnuts or almonds for extra crunch and nutrition.
Adjust sweetness by using more or less maple syrup or honey according to your taste.

Storage

Store leftover baked oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or enjoy them cold straight from the fridge.

How to Serve

A single square slice of baked oatmeal topped with thin, fresh red strawberry slices sits on a white square plate. The oatmeal has two visible layers: the bottom layer is thick and packed with oats showing a beige and light brown color, while the top layer is embedded with chunks of red strawberries. A white glaze is drizzled over the top, adding a shiny texture that flows slightly down the sides. A silver spoon rests beside the slice on the plate, and three whole strawberries with green tops are softly blurred in the background. The entire scene is set against a white marbled surface.
