Blueberry Lemon Coconut Baked Oatmeal makes the perfect healthy breakfast
Do you have the same thing for breakfast every morning or do you like to switch it up?

I am a big fan of anything made with oatmeal so I’ll usually make a variation of steel cut or overnight oats for breakfast.

Thankfully, my kiddos love oatmeal but if they had to choose, baked oatmeal would definitely be their first choice! We love switching things up but this Blueberry Lemon Coconut Baked Oatmeal happens for breakfast a lot.

Lemon anything is my favorite and I love when it’s paired with blueberry.

This baked oatmeal is the perfect healthy breakfast when you feel like something a little more special than your plain Jane oatmeal but still want to keep up with those New Year’s resolutions.

It reminds me of a more wholesome version of my Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Bake .

There’s NO refined sugar or butter and it’s dairy free! While I used coconut milk, maple syrup and a touch of coconut oil, you can totally use almond milk and coconut sugar if you’d prefer.

This comes together easily with less than 10 minutes of prep time.

Plus, it’s a great make ahead breakfast that you can assemble the night before. Just mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and park them in the fridge overnight. Then in the morning, combine them together and bake it up in the oven for about 35-40 minutes.

What you need for this Blueberry Lemon Coconut Baked Oatmeal

  • oats
  • melted coconut oil (or use melted butter if you prefer)
  • coconut milk (or any other milk)
  • lemon
  • vanilla
  • cinnamon
  • blueberries

You can easily use fresh or frozen blueberries. So no matter what time of the year you are making this recipe, it can be done!

I’ve made this with both and it bakes up just a little purplish if you are using frozen because of the juices, but otherwise, the taste is the same.

Don’t have blueberries? No problem, just switch up the fruit with strawberries or raspberries!

This baked oatmeal is bursting with fresh blueberries and lemony coconut goodness in every bite so if you’ve been struggling to get yourself out of bed in the morning, this baked oatmeal might just be that extra push you need.

It’s a hearty and healthy breakfast that you can serve during the week but it’s also perfect to eat on the weekend with a big cup of tea or juice!
