Sunday mornings at my aunt’s house always meant something freshly baked, filling the kitchen with love and sweetness. This Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal brings back that same cozy feeling—like dessert for breakfast, but with a healthy twist! It’s perfect to prep ahead and enjoy all week.
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
3 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg.
Combine and fold: Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir. Gently fold in strawberries and cream cheese.
Bake: Pour into the dish and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and set.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
Use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t in season.
Add a handful of crushed graham crackers on top for a true cheesecake touch.
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days—reheat or enjoy cold!
