This gluten-free baked oatmeal comes together in one bowl and makes the perfect easy meal prep for breakfast, no matter if you want baked oatmeal for one or the whole family.

This gluten-free baked oatmeal is one of my favorite recipes to make when schedules get busy. I am not a huge fan of overnight oat recipes. I prefer my oatmeal baked. What I love about these gluten-free baked oats is that they are just as easy to make as overnight oats for making ahead of time, but the flavor and texture are so much better.

Are oats gluten-free?

The short answer is yes - non-contaminated, pure oats are gluten-free and safe for most people who have a gluten intolerance to enjoy.

The main issue that comes into play while eating oats on a gluten-free diet is cross-contamination. Most commercial oats are processed in facilities that also process gluten-containing products with wheat, barley, and rye ingredients. The gluten in these ingredients then contaminates the facility, and the oats then become contaminated. Even though the amount of gluten in these can be very minimal, it can still cause issues for those who need to be completely gluten-free.

Gluten-free oats are widely available, and they are among the least expensive gluten-free grains to buy. Personally, I love using Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats in recipes.

Why I love strawberry baked oatmeal.

  • Less sugar - Most store-bought, even gluten-free oatmeal has a lot of added sugar. Making it myself, I can use less sugar and keep this a healthier baked oatmeal
  • It's Easy to make - These strawberry baked oats come together super fast with easy ingredients that you probably already have one hand.
  • It's convenient, and it can be made ahead of time - I love easy meal prep breakfast ideas for busy days. You can bake these gluten-free oats in individual ramekins to make baked oatmeal for one. Don't want extra dishes? Cut the baked oats into squares and individually wrap them for the perfect gluten-free on-the-go breakfast.
  • Can be served warm or cold - This gluten-free baked oatmeal reheats well but is still delicious and eaten chilled, so there is no excuse not to eat breakfast.
  • Make extras - You can easily double this baked oatmeal and make it for a crowd.

Ingredients.

This gluten-free baked oatmeal recipe only needs a few simple ingredients.

  • Gluten-free Rolled Oats or Gluten-free Old Fashion Oats - You don't want to use quick oats or steel-cut oats to make these, as the textures won't be the same.
  • Milk - Feel free to use your favorite milk; you can even use dairy-free milk like coconut milk to make this a dairy-free baked oats recipe.
  • Eggs - Eggs act to help add protein to baked oats but also help with texture. If you want to make baked oats with no egg, you can easily use flax eggs instead of eggs.
  • Maple Syrup - Adds a bit of sweetness without being overly sweet. You can also use agave nectar or honey if you prefer.
  • Baking Soda - The baking soda adds a little bit of leveling to help to make this baked oatmeal recipe light and fluffier.
  • Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Salt - Adds flavor to make this gluten-free baked oatmeal more delicious.
  • Strawberries - I love making strawberry baked oats. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. I do recommend thawing frozen strawberries before using them, so you are not adding extra liquid to the oatmeal.

Make it your own.

While I love making this gluten-free baked oatmeal with strawberries, there are so many other different ways to make it your way.

  • Add more or different fruit - I love baked oatmeal with strawberries, but I also love baked oatmeal with bananas. If you want banana baked oats, add them. If you want baked oats without bananas, leave them out. You can also use other berries like raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries.
  • Add nuts or seeds - Adding sliced almonds, chopped pecans, or your favorite seeds to this gluten-free baked oatmeal adds extra flavor, crunch, and protein.
  • Shredded Coconut - You can easily add in or sprinkle some shredded coconut on top of this gluten-free baked oatmeal for a little something extra.
  • Want some chocolate baked oats? - Then add some chocolate chips with your strawberries and make this an easy chocolate covered strawberry baked oats.
  • Add more protein - If you want to make these baked oats have even more protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder with the dry ingredients. You won't even know it's there.

Storing

Baked oatmeal will last in a container in the fridge for up to five days. If you want to store it for longer, then it should be stored in the freezer.

Make ahead.

There are a few ways to make baked oatmeal ahead of time.

  • You can prep the oatmeal in the baking pan and then cover and refrigerate it overnight. Then in the morning, you can bake it off.
  • You can bake and slice this gluten-free baked oatmeal and store it in the fridge all ready to grab and go.
  • You can freeze this baked oatmeal so you can prep ahead for even longer and then defrost or warm the oatmeal as needed.
  • You can even make little baked oatmeal for one by baking it into muffin tins or small ramakins, so you have baked oatmeal when you want it.

Serving suggestions.

Not sure what to eat with your gluten-free baked oatmeal? I like to drizzle a little extra maple syrup over my strawberry baked oatmeal. My kids love it warm in a bowl with a little milk on top. My husband loves me to make some of my homemade strawberry syrup to top his slice with some chopped nuts.
