This strawberry banana baked oatmeal recipe is the perfect make ahead breakfast. Strawberry, banana and chocolate… what could be better?
Strawberry season is here! I love picking up fresh strawberries at the farmers’ market so I knew I needed to create a strawberry baked oatmeal! Strawberry banana is such a classic flavor combo, but I figured why not toss some chocolate chips in the mix. You can never go wrong with some added chocolate, amiright?
This baked oatmeal recipe turned out better than I expected and I can’t wait for you to try it!
Is Baked Oatmeal Healthy?
I get ask this question often so I’ll start out by saying that yes, baked oatmeal is a healthy breakfast option. There is a great balance of macronutrients – healthy fats from the egg and coconut oil, fiber from the oats, and lean protein from the egg.
Ingredients in Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
- old-fashioned rolled oats – my fave brand is Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats.
- pure maple syrup – pure maple syrup is the perfect natural sweetener to use for baked oatmeal in my opinion!
- baking powder – helps the baked oatmeal rise.
- cinnamon – for a little spice.
- sea salt – just a touch!
- almond milk – I like using unsweetened almond milk, but any type of milk will work!
- egg – or a flaxseed egg. To make a flaxseed egg combine 1 Tablespoon of flaxseed with 3 Tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to “gel” up.
- coconut oil – make sure you’re using extra virgin coconut oil. I’ve purchased several different brands of coconut oil before, but Nutiva organic extra virgin coconut oil is my favorite.
- pure vanilla extract – a wonderful flavor enhancer.
- bananas & strawberries – the stars of the show! I would recommend using fresh fruit here. Frozen strawberries would likely work, but they also might release too much liquid while baking, so I’d recommend thawing the frozen fruit and draining the excess liquid prior to baking.
- chocolate chips – I love Lily’s chocolate chips for a low-sugar option and Enjoy Life chocolate chips for a dairy-free/soy-free option.
Making Baked Oatmeal Ahead of Time
Yes, you can make baked oatmeal ahead of time. There are a couple options that work really well. Here’s what I recommend:
Option 1: Bake and Then Reheat Before Serving
- Prepare baked oatmeal as the recipe suggests. Once baked, let the oatmeal cool, cover the baking dish and place in the fridge. You can do this 1-2 days in advance.
- When ready to serve, take oatmeal dish from fridge, cover with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. For individual portions, set toaster oven to 350°F and bake for 5-10 minutes or reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.
Option 2: Prep as Much as You Can Without Baking
- Mix together your dry ingredients in a bowl, cover and let sit out on the counter until morning.
- Mix together all the wet ingredients in another bowl, cover and store in the fridge until morning.
- In the morning, simply mix the wet and dry ingredients together, pour oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish and bake as recipe suggests.
How Long Does Baked Oatmeal Last in the Fridge?
Baked oatmeal lasts about 4-6 days in the fridge. If I’m not serving it to a group of people for brunch, I love making one batch on Sunday and having balanced breakfasts the rest of the week. This is a great recipe for meal prep!

Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 large egg, or 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, 1 mashed and 1 sliced
- 1 1/2 cups fresh quartered strawberries, divided
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, divided
- cooking spray
- additional strawberries, bananas and milk for serving
Instructions
- Set oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Prepare pan: Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add in milk, maple syrup, egg, coconut oil, vanilla and mashed banana. Stir well to combine.
- Add remaining ingredients: Gently fold in 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 of your banana slices and 1/8 cup of chocolate chips.
- Pour into baking dish: Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Add toppings: Scatter the remaining strawberries, banana slices and chocolate chips on top.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the middle of the bake is set (it might still be slightly wet from the strawberries but that’s okay). The top/edges will be golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. This will allow the baked oatmeal to set a bit more. Portion and serve. Top with additional fresh strawberries, banana and a splash of milk.

Notes
- Storage: Store baked oatmeal in the fridge in an airtight sealed container for 4-6 days.
- To reheat: Add a portion to a microwave-safe bowl and heat until warm throughout, about 1 minute or set oven (or toaster oven) to 350° and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until warm. Top with extra almond milk, if desired.

This looks so yummy! I may have overlooked this, but how many servings does the recipe make?
No worries! The recipe serves six so I usually just cut it into six even slices before serving. Each serving should be around 2/3 cup – 1 cup! Hope this helps.
Thank you!
I just made this and OMG was it good!!!!
Yay!! This makes me so happy. I have a super quick favor. Would you be up for leaving a second comment with a star rating for the recipe? The star ratings are super helpful!
Just made this and it is delicious!!!!
This recipe will be on repeat.
Thanks for sharing!
This is so delicious! I usually favour normal oatmeal or overnight oats over baked oatmeal but this is spot on! My husband and 4 year old loved it too! Thanks for the recipe.
This looks fab. Can I replace coconut oil with anything?
I use coconut oil because it gives it a bit of fat and richness, but you could omit it if you want to cut back on the cals/fat or sub for a nut butter.
Thanks. Really it was just because I didn’t want to buy some specially. I may tried with melted butter😊 can’t wait to try it
Oh, I was thinking you didn’t want the extra fat. Melted butter will work great! 🙂
This was delicious! Made it on a Sunday and had it for breakfast all week. Thank you for the recipe!
amazing post your site was referred to us by our local health store https://www.naturallyhealthyniagara.com. They tell us to read your blog. Thanks
Really appreciated, information shared was really fantastic, good job, keep sharing and make us aware through your article.
Thanks For Sharing You ideas.
I made this on Saturday and I really like it. I toasted a piece today and enjoyed with my coffee. I have a picture of the finished dish out of the oven, but sorry, I’m not very technical with the #’s and the @‘s. 😊 someday, someday.
Delicious! Could be a dessert!
Yay! So glad you loved it and I totally agree. The chocolate chips make it dessert-like! And thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. These comments are so helpful!
I made this and it is so delicious! I wasn’t sure if “ripe banana” meant black spotted or yellow…so I mashed up a spotted banana and sliced up a yellow banana and that worked great! Also, I recommend stirring the melted coconut oil into the oat mixture as opposed to the other cold liquids so that it doesn’t harden up from the cold.
I can’t wait to make this again!
Hi Melissa. Ripe banana just means a banana that has ripened and isn’t green. yellow or a few black spots is fine. And great tip about the coconut oil. I’m so glad that you enjoyed this recipe and I so appreciate you taking the time to come back and leave a comment and star rating. Both are super helpful!
Can I assemble this ahead of time and put it in the oven the next morning?
Totally!
Can I cut and freeze these if we don’t eat them all right away? I don’t want to waste any!
Yes! Once it’s cooled, you can cut it and freeze it for sure. I freeze my baked oatmeal cups all the time. Just make sure it’s in a freezer safe container/bag with as little air as possible.
*Heavenly* and so easy! I added 1 teaspoon almond extract and approx 1/2 cup walnuts & it was delicious!! Highly recommend for meal prep and/or when hosting breakfast/brunch.
Absolutely delicious! Only difference was I used coconut milk as that’s what I had. I’ve been having this for breakfast every morning this week and it’s really filling – no mid morning biscuit box raids! Second batch currently in the oven for the weekend.
I made this this morning and OMG was sooooo good. I was wondering when strawberries aren’t in season can you use frozen strawberries? I was worried because their frozen they will hold the water and will it make it soggy? Highly recommend this recipe perfect for one the go.😃
Has anyone’s tried this with frozen fruit?
Hey Bri – You can definitely use frozen fruit here. 🙂
I just prepared for tomorrow. I tried it to see how it tasted and I loved it. Greetings from Puerto Rico.❤️❤️❤️
Yay! So glad you snuck a little taste tonight. Thank you so much for leaving the review as well. Enjoy breakfast tomorrow.
could you skip the oil. i dont like to use this at all when cooking maybe add but more milk would this work
Today i tried this recipe and my kiddo loved it.🙂
This is totally delicious! I think it tasted even better when warmed up the next day. Thank you 🙂
You’re so welcome. So glad you love it. And thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment and star rating on the recipe. It means the world to me.
I made this on Sunday night and I’ve been eating it all week. It is like having dessert for breakfast and I didn’t even add chocolate chips!! I’ve been forcing myself to eat a bowl of plain oatmeal with fruit for breakfast and not enjoying it. This is an amazing alternative. I didn’t have almond milk so I used 1 cup half&half and 1 cup 2%. I also sprinkled cinnamon on top. So delicious. Thanks!
Woo-hoo!! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Susan! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment, I appreciate it. 🙂
A friend made this for a morning gathering and I had to have the recipe!! It was absolutely delicious!! I can’t wait to make it! …maybe my family will get to eat it too… 😆
She did sub blueberries for strawberries and no chocolate. Amazing!
Awww yay!! That makes me so happy to hear. 🙂 You might have to make two batches… one for you and one for your family. haha! I have tons of other baked oatmeals on the blog that you might enjoy too! Some of my favorite fall flavors are apple cinnamon, pumpkin and maple pecan. Definitely let me know if you try any of the other flavors and what you think.
And thank you for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it, Leah! The ratings are super helpful.
Do any of these breakfast casseroles or oatmeal bakes freeze well? Looking to meal prep and store In freezer to have.
Yes. All of the baked oatmeal recipes are freezer friendly. I would recommending baking them and then freezing in portions so you can take out a portion at a time when you’re ready to eat them.
This was really good. I did make a few changes though. I used oat milk and vegan butter because I can’t have dairy. I used blue berries and bananas because that’s all I had on hand. It was good but will make it a little sweeter next time or have strawberries available. Definitely will make again!
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal recipe. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me. <3
I made this but mine turned out quite wet and stodgy though it was browned and looked lovely on top, did I do something wrong?
Did you use fresh or frozen berries. I’m wondering if they released too much liquid and make the oatmeal wet.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I love making it the night before and baking it in the morning! It works out great! I usually add walnuts and mush both bananas. I use whatever frozen berries i have on hand! I really appreciate that you take the time to help out people by posting easy-to-follow recipes. Thank you!
Ahh you’re so welcome! I’m so glad you’re loving this recipe, it makes me so happy to hear. 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to come back and leave a comment and star rating. It’s super helpful to other readers, so I appreciate it!
This was SOGOOD! I rarely comment on posts (even when I should)- but had to for this one! Great recipe, my three year old loved it too!!
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Kara!! I’m so glad this baked oatmeal was a hit. Thank you SO much for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me. <3
Absolutely delicious! I make a whole pan for myself to freeze and reheat for breakfasts with almond butter lathered on top! Thank you for an amazing recipe!
Yay!! I’m so glad you loved this baked oatmeal, Ariana. Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me!
Hi Brittany! I doubled this recipe and baked it in a 13 by 9 pan. Now, I have breakfast for my husband and I for the week. Your recipes are easy to assemble and the end results are always delicious. Thank you.
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Jema!! Thanks so much for giving this recipe a try and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me. <3
Super yummy, comforting and easy to whip up. I put in a little less maple syrup than the recipient called for and it was plenty sweet for our taste. Not really a recipe that can be made on a busy morning due to the longer bake time but easily made in advance and reheated. Can’t wait to try the other recipes!
So glad you tried and enjoyed this recipe, Michele! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it!
I made this with 5 kids this morning. They range in age from 1-9. It was a hit with all of them. Very tasty and filling. I can’t say how it tastes warmed back up because, well, there isn’t any left. My nephew even went around and scraped the pieces of the side of the pan 😂
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Jess! I’m so glad this baked oatmeal was a hit! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
So delicious! Very easy to make. My family ate it all up! Not too sweet. Just right!
Yay!! So glad this baked oatmeal recipe was a hit, Ericka! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
Can you make this without adding the mushed banana?
Hey Jessica – You can swap the bananas with applesauce.
This is so good. Thank you for the recipe. I was never really an oatmeal person till I tried a few of your overnight oat recipes but this is fantastic. Excited to have these recipes when baby number two arrives so I can stock up the freezer and have delicious foods ready to go!
Ahh yay!! I love converting non-oatmeal lovers. Haha! So glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal recipe, Sally. Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really appreciate it. <3
Love oatmeal so much, but never tried this versoni! I’m glad that I discovered this blog. 🙂
I’ve made most of your baked oatmeal recipes, but this may be my favorite!
I made your Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal yesterday and I have to admit it is absolutely delicious! I am definitely going to try to make more of your receipts they are great! Thank You!
Corinna
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Corinna!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal recipe. Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me! <3
I love this recipe! I’ve made it twice in two weeks, the second time I doubled the batch and substituted the strawberries for blueberries because that’s all I had in quarantine and it was still delicious! I also didn’t cook it with the chocolate chips but added those into individual bowls / when I reheated bc my husband said he didn’t want chocolate for breakfast 🤣
We drizzled ours with nut butter when serving and it was so good!! Thank you!
I made this and it was a big hit. Everybody loved it. It reheated very nicely, too.
I am so happy I found this recipe! My husband loves a bowl of stove top oatmeal in the morning but I’ve always struggled with it because of the texture. This is perfect! Spongey and fluffy, not slimy and chunky. 😆 I didn’t have choco chips the first day but it was still wonderful, tastes just sweet enough while being healthy. Added choco chips in the microwave the 2nd day and it felt like dessert!
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad this baked oatmeal is a hit with you and your husband. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really appreciate it!
Yummy
I haven’t made this recipe yet, but it looks delicious! I was just wondering if I could sub the coconut oil for avocado oil or a light tasting olive oil? My elderly mom has to watch her saturated fats, but I think she’d love this! I wasn’t sure if the liquid oils would work differently in this recipe than the solid-when-cool coconut oil does.
Hey Susan – 2 Tablespoons of avocado oil should work just fine. 🙂
This is awesome! Super delicious and works for breakfast or a healthy dessert. Also way more filling than I expected! (I have a huge appetite). .. question: could you substitute monkfruit sweetener for honey or maple syrup in any of these oatmeal bakes?
I’m so glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal recipe, Jessica!! I haven’t tried it, but I think that’d be just fine to sub the honey/maple syrup with monkfruit.
I’ve been trying your recipes and they are great! I want to try this one, but my kiddo has a tree nut allergy. Can I substitute the almond milk with oat milk or regular milk?
Hey Rose – Yes! You can use any type of milk. 🙂 Let me know how this turns out for you if you end up trying it!
I made this recipe this morning and it turned out really wet & soggy rather than dry look your picture. The bananas and strawberries were slightly over ripened and I used oat milk instead. What could I do so they come out dry? Would you suggest using more oats?
Oh no!! I’m sorry to hear that! How long did you end up cooking it for and did you change anything about the recipe? And did you mix in all the strawberries and bananas or just what was listed in the recipe? It might have just needed more time to cook. The cook time does depend on oven temps since everyone’s is different.
This is AMAZING! My husband and I are both obsessed with. I’m on a very restricted diet due to breastfeeding a baby with allergies but this recipe has me enjoying food again. And it was easy enough for me to make with a 4 month old on my hip! Thank you for sharing
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Angela! I’m so glad this baked oatmeal recipe is a hit! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. It means the world to me. <3
Loved this! Very easy to make while entertaining my 4 month old. This will be on weekly rotation!
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal recipe! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
Absolutely delicious!! My daughter made this last week and we loved it so much we’re on a mission to work our way through your whole list! Tastes decadent. Love that it’s not. <3
Ahh I love it!! So glad you guys are loving the baked oatmeals. 🙂 Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. The reviews are super helpful to other readers, so I appreciate it!
Hi Brittany,
Found this recipe and excited to try it….only I accidentally bought two bags of quick oats and don’t have any rolled oats! Do you have suggestions on how I should adjust the recipe, or is it okay to substitute 1:1?
Much thanks from a first time oat baker!
Hey Erica – You can totally use quick oats for the baked oatmeal recipes! They can be subbed 1:1. 🙂 Let me know how it turns out for you!!
It turned out great! So tasty and good texture even with the quick oats 🙂
So delicious!!! Can’t wait to make more baked oatmeal recipes!
SO DELICIOUS ❤
This is so good. This was our first recipe from you and it has kept us coming back and trying more.
Thank you 😊
I LOVE this! I made this to prep for breakfast through out the week and it was delicious. Thinking about this oatmeal had me looking forward to each and every morning of the week !
I made this for breakfast this morning and it was so good! It made the house smell so good when it was in the oven. My boyfriend said he would eat this for breakfast every day. We omitted the chocolate chips and subbed butter for the coconut oil and it was perfect. Will definitely make again.
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad this baked oatmeal recipe was a hit, Lauren. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
I only put chocolate chips in 1/4 of it, but that was a mistake. The chocolate chips definitely help make the dish! The rest of the 3/4 of it was just missing that little bit of goodness.
I want to make this vegan can I omit the egg or sub for something else?
Thank you.
Yes! Feel free to use a flaxseed egg in place of the egg or omit it all together.
Can this be baked as individual cupcakes?
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not. They might just need to bake for a shorter amount of time. Let me know if you try them!
I baked them for 35 minutes and came out perfectly as a cupcake.
Oh yay!! Good to know – thanks for sharing!
I made this last week and my entire family loved it! This is definitely going to be a staple once I go back to college 🙂 I do have one question; I’m doing weight watchers and the coconut oil is super high in points so could this be substituted with canola or just omitted entirely?
Hey Yasmin, I’m so glad this baked oatmeal recipes was a hit with your family! Subbing the coconut oil for canola oil will be just fine. 🙂
I am 4 months post partum and went back to work a month ago. These oatmeal bakes have been a life saver. We started with this one and it’s delicious, guilt free, can be made on the weekend and eaten throughout the week. I turned my sister in law onto them and she recently suggested the zuchinni one, that’s on the menu for next week now, she said it’s so tasty and you get veggies in.
Ahh yay! That makes me so happy to hear, Joy. I’m so glad you’re loving the baked oatmeal recipes. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me!
This was a show stopper! Great for make-ahead breakfasts and it looks pretty did.
Ahh yay!! So glad this baked oatmeal recipe was a hit. 🙂 Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Alyssa. I so appreciate it.
Super excited to try this but I’m swimming in steel cut oats! Can you sub out the old fashioned oats for steel cut variety? Would you need to increase liquid or baking time?
Hey Courtney – I would follow the recipe for my apple cinnamon baked oatmeal, which uses steel cut oats. You can definitely swap the apples + raisins for the strawberries, bananas and chocolate chips. 🙂
Brittany has the BEST baked oatmeal recipes! The consistency is always perfect and the recipes have the right amount of sweetness to satisfy my sweet tooth but are still filled with healthy ingredients so I can savor the oats for breakfast.
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Nicole! I’m so glad you’re loving the baked oatmeal recipes. 🙂 Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
I just want to thank you so much for this recipe!!! I’m guilty because I have actually enjoyed this recipe for over a year now and I only now got myself to write a review😖 Now that we got that out of the I have to say that this is the baked oatmeal that got me to explore not only other oat recipes but healthy recipes in general!! I absolutely love everything about this recipe❤️❤️❤️ And of course I strongly recommend it!!
Ahh this makes me so happy to read, Alexandra! I’m so glad you love this recipe and that it got you to branch out to try other healthy recipes. 🙂 I so appreciate you coming back to leave a comment + star rating. The reviews are super helpful to other readers, so I appreciate it!
Could this be frozen?
Definitely! I normally portion out and freeze the individual slices so it’s easy to grab just one and reheat. 🙂
I didn’t even see the measurements 😐
Hey Abbey – If you scroll down, the full recipe with the measurements is listed out towards the bottom of the post.
I made this recipe with a bunch of mixed berries instead of just strawberries and it was amazing!
Awesome!! So glad it turned out for you, Suzanne. 🙂
Thank you for the info , Much appreciate it!
This was seriously so delicious and easy to make! Made it last week and loved having breakfast ready all week. Will definitely be making again!
So pumped you loved this recipe, Beth!! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it. <3
It was delicious! Unfortunately, mine wasn’t dry like the pictures. I followed everything regarding to the ingredients and left it for a total of 70 minutes but it was still soggy in the middle but on the tips of the outsides was dry. I don’t know what I did wrong.
Hey Amy – Oh no! What size pan did you bake this in? And you didn’t change anything about the recipe? It probably needed more time to cook in the center or else it didn’t get enough time to set after taking it out of the oven. If you notice the sides getting done faster than the middle, you can always cover it with tin foil to prevent the sides from burning.
This was so yummy! Thank you so much. I was wondering for future, could I swap almond milk for oat milk? Or would that be an oat overload?
Thank you again 🙂
Hey Jess – You could totally swap the almond milk for oat milk. 🙂
I almost never leave comments, but for this recipe I had to. I couldn’t believe how tasty it was! And with no sugar too (besides what was in the chocolate chips). The sweetness of the berries really makes it almost like a dessert, but very healthy and surprisingly filling. A perfect breakfast/snack/pre/post-workout option. I substituted half a cup of the strawberries for blueberries and it was great. I love this blog because everything on here is exactly the kind of stuff I love to make and it’s all unbelievably delicious!
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Madeline. I’m so pumped you loved this recipe. Thanks so much for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. The reviews are super helpful to other readers, so I really appreciate it. <3
Loved it! I prefer mine a little crunchier, curious if less milk would accomplish that? My kitchen smelled so delicious, and the taste was just as good.
Could I prep this the night before, refrigerate it, and pop it in the oven in the morning?
So glad you loved this recipe, Nici! I’m not sure if I would use less milk because it might turn out too dry. If you’re looking for it to be crunchier, I would try cooking it longer.
As far as prepping it the night before I usually don’t recommend this with baked oatmeal because the oats will soak up the liquid overnight and it might turn out dry. The coconut oil will also solidify in the fridge. So there’s two options to save time: 1) You could combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, cover and leave out on the counter overnight, then just add in your wet ingredients in the morning. 2). You could mix everything besides the milk together in a big bowl and place it in the fridge overnight. The next morning, stir in the milk until combined, pour batter into your prepared baking dish and bake! The coconut oil will be solid after sitting in the fridge overnight, but since you mixed it in melted the day before it should still be well dispersed. It also might take a little extra cook time since it’s going in the oven cold.
Sorry, I know this isn’t the answer you were hoping for. Let me know what you decide to do!
So happy I found this blog and this recipe in particular! My family is obsessed! So delicious and just the right amount of sweetness. I’m not fond of overly sweet and this was the perfect amount. So filling and a healthy breakfast for the family. Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been amazing and I can’t wait to try more!
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Crystal! I’m so glad your family is loving this recipe. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me. <3
This is so delicious! I didn’t have the chocolate but it worked out just fine. Yum. Make it.
Do you think frozen mixed berries would work in this recipe?
That should work just fine! You might need to cook it longer depending on how much liquid the frozen fruit releases while cooking. Let me know how it turns out for you!
How do I double this recipe?
Hey Don – you would just need to times everything by 2 to double this recipe.
This is a go to for when I have visitors. It’s so easy to make ahead and who doesn’t love a little strawberry banana chocolate combo for breakfast.
I made this recipe as a healthy dessert for my husband and I, and we loved it!! We make it all the time now. Thanks for posting how to make this yummy treat!
Due to allergies, almond milk and coconut oil aren’t options for my family. Do you have recommendations for substitutes? Could we use ghee and nonfat milk?
Yes, you can use any milk and ghee or butter will work just fine as a sub for the oil. 🙂
Your recipes are so amazing! I have been making them for a while now and just made the above. It is phenomenal! Even my kids will eat everything I’ve made from your posts!
Thank you for all of the wonderful recipes!
Ahh thank you for such a sweet review, Tammy! I’m so glad you’re loving the recipes! 🙂
Hi Brittany,
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup? Would it still be okay to store the bread in the fridge for a few days?
Thanks.
Yes, you can use honey instead of maple syrup!
This is the most delicious baked oatmeal I have tried!! This reminds me of a banana bread, just healthier and fresher with the strawberries! Super filling for breakfast as well!
Ahh yay, that makes me so happy to hear, Romy!! I’m so glad you loved this baked oatmeal recipe. 🙂 Thanks so much for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me!
Hi, does it set like Flapjacks?
Hey Rima – No, baked oatmeal is basically just oatmeal in a baked form. It is soft, but shouldn’t be mushy. It’s like a creamy, soft breakfast casserole. Hopefully that helps!
It does set up like British flapjacks, which are sweet oatcakes. It is WAY less sweet since there is no golden syrup in this.
Hey Brittany! Just wondering how you could go about reheating this in an oven?(temp and duration) I don’t have a microwave. Thank you!
Hi Keely. To reheat the whole baked oatmeal, cover with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. For individual portions, set oven (or toaster oven) to 350°F and bake for 5-10 minutes. I usually use my toaster oven for this!
This recipe is amazing. I will be sure to try more of your recipes.It feels like such a treat for breakfast without crazy calories.
Ahh yay!! So glad you loved this recipe, Tiffany. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it. 🙂
I really want to make this but only have a cake pan, not a baking dish. Will it still work?
Yes, that should work just fine! Let me know how it turns out for you. 🙂
I love all your baked oatmeal recipes! Perfect to make for Sunday brunch and then save leftovers for breakfast the rest of the week 🙂 I used Trader Joe’s frozen chocolate-covered strawberries in this recipe (and skipped the choco chips) and it was delicious!
I’m so glad you’re loving the baked oatmeal recipes, Hannah! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it. 🙂
Strawberry Banana Oatmeal looked so delicious. I am definitely going to try this recipe as a change for my everyday healthy breakfast menu.

Thanks for another amazing go to recipe!!

Smells so good can’t wait to eat it
Simple to make, and it was delicious! Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes!!
Woo!! So glad you loved it, Amanda. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. 🙂
Super easy to make! Looks delicious 😋
I haven’t tasted it yet but I’ve made a couple other of your baked oatmeal recipe, and they were yummy! So I’m really excited to taste this one!
I pre-make these for my work week and it makes my mornings so much smoother!
So glad you’ve loving the baked oatmeal recipes. Thanks so much for making this one and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it, Susie.
Delicious! I was burnt out on oatmeal and never thought I’d be into it again until I tried this yesterday. I ended up putting it in silicone muffin cups before I realized your recipe for the muffin cup version is a bit different (and intentionally drier). I was worried as it was baking and looking very liquidy but I ended up loving the moist result. I halved the maple syrup in the recipe so I could drizzle a bit on the top after I reheated it. Thank you!
Woo!! That makes me so happy to hear. I’m glad they turned out for you as cups. Thanks for making my recipe and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
We left out the chocolate but it was sooo good. Next time we need to double it because my kids finished off the entire pan for breakfast!
Ahh yay!! That makes me so happy to hear. I’m glad it was a hit with your kiddos. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it. 🙂
Just whipped this up in between meetings today and it was seriously so delicious, quick and easy. I excluded the chocolate chips for personal preference and it was still plenty sweet and delicious. Perfect crisp too!
Woo!! So glad you loved it. Thanks for the review. It means the world to me. 🙂
I can’t decide which of your baked oatmeal recipes I like the best, they are all so good. This strawberry banana one is definitely at the top of the list. I love the sweetness of the strawberries. It’s so easy to have breakfast prepped and know you are eating healthy with these baked oatmeals.
So glad you’re loving the baked oatmeal recipes, Michele. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
I made the strawberry banana oatmeal yesterday. WOW so amazing! I am obsessed with all things EBF! Your recipes are easy and incorporate all of the good things that help with better eating habits! Thank you!
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear!! So glad you loved this baked oatmeal. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it, Tanya.
Yum! This was delicious!! Will definitely be making it again. I ended up mashing both bananas since I don’t prefer it sliced and it was perfect!
Woo!! So glad you loved it, Jill. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it. 🙂
Made this tonight for the first time. It was DEELICIOUS!! Made it without the chocolate chips and it plenty sweet. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Woo! So glad you loved this recipe. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
I don’t normally write comments on recipes but I had to for this one. I followed this recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. A winner with everyone in the family. I will be making this recipe at least once a month! I can’t wait to try all the other combinations.
Woo! So glad this recipe was a hit with your fam. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
This is the best baked oatmeal I’ve ever made!!
Woo!! That makes me so happy to hear. Thanks for the review, Amy. I so appreciate it!
My go-to baked oatmeal recipe! It’s so delicious and great to have on hand for easy weekday breakfasts. Have also swapped the chocolate chips for blueberries and just as tasty!
Woo!! So glad you love this recipe, Heather. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
This Strawberry Banana baked oatmeal was stellar! So easy to whip up (literally 1 bowl) and really filling. Will definitely be making again!
Woo!! So glad you loved it, Christie. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
This was absolutely delicious! You have turned us into baked oatmeal fans 🙂 We are making the blueberry one next this weekend and on to the chocolate one later in the week. Thank YOU for these amazing recipes!
Ahh yay, that makes me SO happy to hear!! So pumped you’re loving the baked oatmeal recipes. 🙂 Thanks for coming back to leave a review, Stacy. I so appreciate it!
I just did it this morning and posted it on my Instagram : lesepicesdecamille. The recip is just fabulous and so yummy ! I love it for breakfast
Yay!! So glad you loved this recipe, Camille. Thanks so much for the review. I so appreciate it!
Absolutely love this recipe. New family favorite. I love the strawberry tart flavor paired with the sweet of the bananas and chocolate!
This recipe is like eating dessert for breakfast! The strawberry makes it oh so delish. I added some ground flaxseed and chia. Devine!
So glad you loved it, Amanda!! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
We enjoyed this recipe. The choc chips I used were sweetened so that made everything too sweet (not the fault of the recipe!) so next time I would omit or find unsweetened chocolate chips. The strawberries also went a bit mushy and didn’t have much flavour once baked.
Sooooo delicious!! I had this week for work and will be making again next week. So easy, fast, and keeps for a surprisingly long time in fridge. Co-workers complimented on how yummy it smelt and looked. The recipe/link may have been given out to multiple people 😉 I’m a big oatmeal fan and this recipe was the absolute perfect twist!
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad this recipe was a hit and thanks for sharing the recipe. 🙂 I so appreciate you coming back to leave a review. It means the world to me!
This is the BEST baked oatmeal!!!! It is so filling and delicious. I love this for breakfast!
Yay!! So glad you love this recipe, Olivia. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
I made this for a friend’s birthday because we’re both mindful of sweets/good ingredients and this was perfect. Heated up with a little almond milk and it made a perfect breakfast for my week!
So glad this recipe was a hit! Thanks for the review, Courtney. I so appreciate it!
This has become my go to favorite! So easy and delicious!! ❤️❤️
Woo!! So glad you’re loving this recipe, Barb. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I appreciate it. 🙂
This is the exciting new weekend brunch item my family has been craving! Definitely adding this to the rotation.
Woo!! So glad it was a hit with your family. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
I can’t stop making this! Playing around with fillings. It just gets better and better. Sometimes it’s breakfast, sometimes it’s dessert. It’s always delicious!!
Ahh yay, that makes me so happy to hear!! So glad you’re loving this recipe, Wendy. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
I don’t know if maybe this was just too healthy for us, but this had a very strange gummy/wet-sponge texture that we just couldn’t get over. My boyfriend has never not eaten something I’ve made but he took one bite and suggested we throw it out. One bite each and it went in the trash 🙁
Oh no!! I’m so sorry to hear that. Did you change anything about the recipe? Did it seem dry or too wet to you?
Baked oatmeal is amazing!
This is my new “go to” breakfast! I make it on Sunday and enjoy the rest of the week. Love it! I also added some chopped walnuts to mine.
Yay!! So glad you loved this recipe, Elaine! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
This recipe is a breakfast staple in our household. So easy to make and reheats beautifully for quick weekday breakfasts.
I’ve always used fresh strawberries but wondering if anyone has had success using frozen strawberries?
Ahh yay!! So glad this recipe has been a hit! Using frozen strawberries should work just fine! You might need to cook it longer depending on how much liquid the frozen fruit releases while cooking. Let me know how it turns out for you!
I recently made this and it was very tasty. Definitely the best oatmeal I’ve had! I used frozen strawberries and blueberries instead of chocolate chips and it came out amazing. Possibly a bit more moist but still delicious.
Yay! So glad you loved this recipe, Grecia. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
I made this today and was a bit let down at how tasteless it was. I found I had to add some brown sugar in order to have some flavor. I didn’t add the chocolate chips as I an allergic to chocolate and that could be where the majority of the flavor came in. I do not think I would be making this in the future without adding in some brown sugar before cooking.
Hi Heather! Thanks so much for the comment. I’m bummed that you didn’t think it had much flavor. The chocolate chips do add a good amount of flavor so maybe skipping those was the issue. I actually made it again this weekend and didn’t have maple syrup so I left that out and it still had plenty of flavor. I’m wondering if your banana and strawberries weren’t ripe/flavorful? Did you add the vanilla?
Hi. Wanted to check in case I want to use Steel cut oats, what changes do I need to do? Does it also need to soak overnight ? Thanks
I would follow my recipe for apple cinnamon baked steel cut oatmeal.
Can I substitute the coconut oil for a different oil? I plan to make this tomorrow and I do not have Coconut oil and am trying to save a trip to the grocery store.
Yes, you can use butter or even a mild nut butter (like almond butter or cashew butter) instead of the coconut oil or simply omit it! It will still taste delish.
Absolutely addictive!
I substitute the maple syrup with chocolate protein powder and add a dash of nutmeg.
The whole house loves it and they all wait for me to make it every single week!
Yay!! So glad you all have been enjoying this strawberry banana baked oatmeal, Nadine! Thanks for making it and coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it.
I know it says this can be refrigerated, but can it go in the freezer as well?
Yes! I prefer to cut the baked oatmeal into individual servings before freezing, but it should last up to 3 months in the freezer.
This baked oats recipe is Amazing!! Makes a great breakfast or lunch! I highly recommend it!! 😁
I’m so glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal, Kiana! Thanks for the review 🙂
I would like to make this for my toddler, but he doesn’t like to feel the texture of a piece of banana or strawberry. Would it be possible to puree them and add them to the other ingredients? Can I use chopped dates instead of chocolate chips to make it even healthier and more nutritious?
Hey Farah! Pureeing the bananas and strawberries might make the oatmeal too liquidy, but maybe if you reduce the amount of milk added it would be okay? I haven’t tried this, so I’m not too sure how it will turn out, but let me know if you try it! And yes, you can sub in chopped dates in place of the chocolate chips.
So delicious! I added a little peanut butter to mine and then some berries to top it up, worked amazing as a healthy dessert 🤩
Yay! I’m so glad this recipe was a hit, Asal! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it 🙂
Will steel cut oats work the same?
Hey Dean – The liquid to oats ratio will be different. I would follow this recipe for apple cinnamon baked steel cut oats and you can swap the mix-ins with strawberries, bananas and chocolate chips.
I absolutely love this recipe. Its quick, easy and delicious. One of my favourite.
I’m so glad you’re loving this recipe, Eva! Makes me so happy to hear! Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
Can you let it sit in the fridge overnight and cook in the morning?
Hey Erin – You can make it ahead of time, but I wouldn’t combine all the ingredients together and let it sit overnight as the oats will soak up most of the liquid. Here is what you could do instead:
1) Mix together your dry ingredients in a bowl, cover and let sit out on the counter until morning.
2) Mix together all the wet ingredients in another bowl, cover and store in the fridge until morning.
3) In the morning, simply mix the wet and dry ingredients together, pour oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish and bake as recipe suggests.
So good and simple! Just like everything else I have tried on this website!
I forgot to give my 5 stars! SO good and so simple just like everything else I have tried on here!
This makes me so happy to hear, Chelsea! I’m so pumped this baked oatmeal has been a hit! Thanks for the review and the star rating. I so appreciate it!
Delicious! I will make again, possibly swapping half the chocolate chips for walnuts.
I would recommend, though, that if prepping ahead, do not use coconut oil or butter, as it will solidify overnight.
I’m so glad you loved this recipe, Denise! Thanks for the note about coconut oil/butter.
Hi, what could i use instead of the coconut oil please? This seems like the perfect breakfast for my shift patterns as a nurse
You can skip the coconut!
Can this be portioned and frozen?
Yes! I typically like to portion these out into individual servings to freeze. 🙂
Looks so good! How do you reheat it from frozen?
This is SO GOOD! Best way to use fresh strawberries in early summer!
So glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal, Jamie!! Thanks so much for the review 🙂
Made this for Father’s Day breakfast! Absolutely delicious!
I’m so glad you this baked oatmeal was a hit, Amy! Thanks so much for making it and coming back to leave a review 🙂
Could I substitute almond milk with oat and omit coconut oil?
Totally! It will definitely still turn out fine! Let me know if you try the recipe.
Delicious!
planning on making some to freeze for when baby comes (any day now!) I would like to use ground flax as well as the egg, will it make it too dense? or any suggestion on how to use both ingredients..
I add chia seeds for an added boost, and it works well. I just add a bit more milk, since they absorb so much liquid.
So pumped you’re loving this recipe, Ruth! And I love the addition of chia seeds for an added boost. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for the recipe!! Our family loves it…my son requests it at least twice a week and will eat half the pan by himself. 😄
Ah yay! So happy to hear this baked oatmeal has been a hit, Ruth! Thanks so much for making it and coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
I’ve made this time and again and it’s always a hit! I omit the chocolate and usually do only half the maple syrup and it still tastes like dessert. My kids gobble it up! It’s also great subbing in different berries
This sounds , and I don’t like oatmeal 😆 Could I use frozen berries? Would I reduce the amount of milk?
Yummy!! Drizzled some maple syrup over the top. Will definitely make again!
Pumped to hear this oatmeal was a hit, Shelly. Thanks for the review!
I made this for breakfast. I didn’t have almond milk so I used regular milk but it still turned out great (changed the nutritional value)!! This is a perfect recipe for a you chef in the making. Note: due to cutting strawberries and bananas, please help if the are smaller kids. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!!!
Happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe, Brenda. Thanks for the review!!
My husband, toddler and myself LOVE this recipe. It is super easy to throw together on Sunday and have breakfasts for a couple of days! We also love to top this with a litttle bit of maple syrup once it’s heated up.
Oh yay!! So glad this recipe was a hit, Sara. Thanks so much for the review. I so appreciate it!
I made this (without the maple syrup, and with unsweetened coconut milk instead of almond) and it tastes great! Will easily heat up for breakfasts with or without milk. May even splurge and top it off with whipped cream.
Woo! So glad to hear that, Kathleen. Splurging with some whipped cream sounds like a perfect treat to start the day! Thanks for coming back to leave a review, I appreciate it.
I have been eying your recipe for some time and finally made it! It was sooo good and will def make
it again. Thank you!!
Woo! Happy to hear this recipe was a success for you, Natalie. I really appreciate you leaving a review and star rating, thank you! 🙂
I made this recipe the other day and it turned out so good. It was quick and so easy to make. I added chopped almonds (wanted to put walnuts but ran out of it lol) and it gave a kick of crunchiness. My husband loved it!! This is definitely one of our favorite and will continue to make it!! Thank you so much Brittany for this wonderful recipe!
Yay! I am so glad you and your husband loved this recipe, Karina! Thank you so much for leaving a review and star rating, it means so much to me 🙂
We make this at least once a month for the last 2 years. My kids love it! Thanks for such a yummy healthy recipe.
Yay! I’m so glad this recipe is a hit with you and your kids. Thank you for coming back to leave a review, I really appreciate it.
Made this today for the first time and it is definitely going on my list of favorite oatmeal recipes! It is SO good… and my house smelled amazing while it was baking!
Woo! Love to hear that, Tamar. Thank you for leaving a review and star rating, I really appreciate it.
It was very yummy! I didn’t have strawberries so I used blueberries and was delicious!!!! Perfect sweetness for me and my husband!
Yay! So happy to hear this recipe was a hit, Ivette. Thank you for taking the time to share your review and star rating, it means so much to me.
I can’t stop making this. My young grandkids (a 2 yr old and twins that are 11mo old) love it with blueberries instead of strawberries. I also just use all of the 2 bananas smashed instead of saving some for the top. And to top it off, my husband likes it as a dessert. (He doesn’t eat sweets otherwise). I’m experimenting with using less to no maple syrup. I’m down to 2T. Still yummy!
Yay! Love that this recipe is such a hit for your family, Dale. Thank you for sharing your review, it means so much to me!
Yum!! This was a family favorite. Not mushy like other baked oatmeal recipes we have tried and so much flavor!
Woo! Love hearing this, Cristina! So glad it was a hit with your family, thank you for sharing.
As I prepare to make this again, I realized that maybe I haven’t left a comment yet. I have been making this since early pandemic days – sometimes as often as 3x/week. It is an absolute favourite in our house. We eat it like a bar, no added milk necessary, and it never lasts until the end of the day. I easily make it vegan by using chia and adding a bit more liquid (I have been using organic soy milk lately, for added protein). I also use no oil and less maple syrup, as the bananas and berries make it sweet enough for us. Thank you for this great recipe!!
**Side note, I see now that the recipe has been updated with a vegan option. Well done!
Yay! I’m so glad you and your family are loving this baked oatmeal, Ruth! Thank you so much for sharing your review, it means so much to me!
I just made this for the first time, it’s so good! I didn’t have enough bananas so I only used 1 banana mashed inside and added more strawberries. It still turned out great! I love it heated up with some milk in the morning for breakfast!
Yay! I’m so glad this recipe was a hit, Allison! Thanks for leaving a review and star rating, I really appreciate it.
Can this be frozen? If so, at what stage – before or after baking? Thank you!
Hi, Mary. It can after baking but I don’t recommend it as it changes the overall texture! This is best made ahead and stored in the fridge.
Omg! These are crazy good! I did blend one and a half cups of the oats and left one half whole and I used butter instead of coconut oil… and I only had one banana but… delicious! I probably could have put a little less milk since I blend d the oats… but oh do good. I love your oat recipes! Yum!
Loved this recipe. It is easy and delicious. I like it warmed up with milk.
So glad you loved this recipe, Lindsay! Thanks for making it and for the review!
Can you freeze this. If so what would the preparation be to do that?
Totally! I love freezing baked oatmeal. I recommend letting it cool completely and then cutting it into individual portions to freeze. Then you can just pull out one at a time. When you’re ready to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and you can eat it cold or heat it in the oven, toaster oven or microwave.
In May you said you wouldn’t recommend since it changes the texture. So is it ok to freeze or not?
Hi Katie – Yes, you can freeze this after you bake it! I recommend letting it cool completely and then cutting it into individual portions to freeze. Then you can just pull out one at a time. When you’re ready to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and you can eat it cold or heat it in the oven, toaster oven or microwave.
CAN THIS BE MADE WITH REGULAR MILK? MY SON IS ALLERGIC TO ALMONDS.
Definitely! Any type of milk will work.
Will this turn out fine if I put the ingredients in a bag to freeze and bake later? I’m trying to make a stockpile of freezer meals before I give birth and I’d love to include this one.
Hi Laura – If you would like to freeze this baked oatmeal, I would recommend putting it all together and baking it, letting it cool completely, and then cutting it into individual portions to freeze. Then you can pull out one at a time. When you’re ready to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight or you can eat it cold or heat it in the over, toaster oven or microwave. Enjoy!
What can be used in place of the oil? I am vegan and use no oil, butter or any dairy. Thanks.
I have not tested this recipe without the coconut oil, but a few readers have said they have omitted the coconut oil and it turned out just fine. If you give it a try, I’d love to know how it works out for you. Enjoy!
Excited to make this over the upcoming weekend for a Ladies’ brunch. Because some of the guest have nut allergies, I do not want to use coconut oil or almond milk. Would oat milk and perhaps another oil (recommendations please) work instead?
Hi Leslie – This sounds great. You can use any type of milk that you prefer. You can either omit the coconut oil or replace it with butter (same amount). Hope you enjoy this recipe!
Loved it. I enjoyed it even more today for the second morning. The only changes I made were no chocolate, and instead of one egg I used 1c eggbeaters for more protein (and I just love eggs). I served it cold. Thanks!
Sounds delicious, Amy! I am so glad you are loving this recipe and it turned out great. Thank you for your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Just made this and it was delicious! My kids loved it. The only modification I made was using frozen strawberries and it didn’t seem to impact the cooking time. No issues with runniness. Thanks for helping to make our mornings yummy!
Perfect! I am so glad this recipe turned out great, Arlyn. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Can this be frozen and reheated?
Hi Chels – Yes! You can fully make this recipe and then let cool completely. I recommend wrapping each piece individually and then reheating in a toaster or oven. Let me know if you give this recipe a try, enjoy!
Can you freeze this Baked Oatmeal recipe?
Hi Brooke – Yes! You can fully make this recipe and then let cool completely. I recommend wrapping each piece individually and then reheating in a toaster or oven. Let me know if you give this recipe a try, enjoy!
Hi there! Would this be possible to freeze? Thinking it would be a great postpartum meal to prep before baby! Thank you
Hi Eva – Absolutely! I would recommend freezing after baking and cooling completely. You can freeze the entire pan or for even more efficient reheating option, you can freeze individual portions. Hope that helps and you enjoy this recipe!
Wow. Can’t believe how delicious this recipe is. I used mint chocolate. Something about mint and strawberries, it’s like they were made for each other. Will definitely be putting this one on repeat! Keep up the great work.
YUM! I am so glad you gave this recipe a try and are loving it, Genevieve. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Would you freeze this before you bake it or after baking?
Hi Jennifer – I would recommend baking first, then freezing. I also find it easier to freeze in individual portions. Enjoy!
