This Sweet Potato Oatmeal Bake with Blueberries is the perfect quick and nutritious breakfast option, great for your meal prep oatmeal needs. It’s ready in 30 minutes, great for crowds, and the perfect pre- workout snack!

I’m excited about today’s baked sweet potato oatmeal. I know you’re thinking…sweet potatoes in oatmeal?

Sweet potatoes in oatmeal is just one of the many ways to cook with sweet potatoes. They add a nice sweetness, and of course, a dense nutrition profile!

Sweet potatoes plus blueberries. We all know blueberry baked oatmeal is a keeper, and this baked sweet potato oatmeal is a keeper. 

Baked oatmeal with berries are the real deal.

We make this Baked Oatmeal with Strawberries year-round, and rely on this sweet potato oatmeal and Apple Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal in the fall months.

Oatmeal and sweet potatoes just go together so well, especially if you’re doing some oatmeal breakfast meal prep. 

We also love the combination in this easy instant pot sweet potato casserole.

I also happen to think that sweet potatoes and blueberries are made for each other, especially in this oatmeal and sweet potato concoction.

I promise you’ll agree after you give this healthy baked oatmeal a shot. It’s a great healthy breakfast for athletes and one of my favorite breakfasts to eat before running.

It’s also high in antioxidants to help with recovery!

My toddler also happens to love this sweet potato blueberry baked oatmeal (it’s a great sweet potato oatmeal for baby)! We alternate between this and baby french toast sticks. 

Plus, it offers the benefits and nutrition of both fruits AND veggies in your breakfast. There’s not many recipes you can say that about!

What You Need To Make Baked Sweet Potato Oatmeal 

A small list of delicious and nutritious ingredients, that you probably already have on hand.

Sweet Potatoes – They mash up so well and not only provide ample vitamins and minerals, but a subtle sweet taste and texture. 

Blueberries – Fresh or frozen work well!

Eggs

Milk – I used 1% but any milk you like will work. Use dairy-free if needed. 

Oats

Maple Syrup – I recommend grade A all the way! See below on how to omit this for a sugar free recipe.

Butter – You can substitute for coconut oil, but I happen to think that there is nothing that compares to melted butter. 

2 quart baking dish – I love this pyrex because it comes with a handy top to make your meal prep oatmeal sealable!

There is so much natural sweetness from the fruit and maple syrup, plus blueberries and cooked sweet potatoes. 

Can You Meal Prep Oatmeal Bakes?

Absolutely, and I highly recommend sweet potato baked oatmeal for those busy mornings and weeks. 

In the summer time, hot oats can move to the wayside. I still love them, but more often, I depend on the cooler overnight oats, baked oatmeal, or baked oatmeal cups.

Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal is also a favorite because it’s totally hands-off.

I think you’ll agree that this sweet potato blueberry baked oatmeal is great any time of year because it’s easy.

You make it once and then reap the benefits for days, which is why it’s a great form of oatmeal meal prep, just like my apple pie overnight oats recipe. 

You could make it on Sunday and have it last through the week. It can be a pre- or post-workout breakfast or snack, a healthy sweet potato oatmeal for baby meal, or a kid-friendly way to get fruits and veggies in at breakfast. 

This is another one of the recipes I made “pre-Camryn” and froze (more freezer meals for new moms here).

Sadly, I ate the last of this blueberry baked oatmeal last week but already made some more baked sweet potato oatmeal for this weekend.

Recipe Modifications

• Gluten Free Sweet Potato Oatmeal – As long as you use certified gluten free oats, this blueberry baked oatmeal recipe is gluten free. 
• Dairy Free –
• To keep it dairy free, use dairy free milk and substitute coconut oil for the butter.
• Vegan or plant based – To make a vegan baked oatmeal, you can use flax eggs, though I did not test the recipe with flax eggs. 
• Sugar Free – You can omit the maple syrup and replace with 1/4 cup of milk. Follow all of the other directions!

Remember my blueberry sweet potato bread? This is a fun twist on that. Ultimately, both have the same purpose: to be slathered with peanut butter and devoured.

We also have hints of cinnamon, butter and some maple syrup in here. So every bite is literally, the best thing ever.

Other Notes For This Blueberry Oatmeal Bake

While I’ve told you how delicious this is, let me reinforce how EASY this oatmeal meal prep dish can be. 

Can I freeze baked oatmeal?

Yes! Just let the sweet potato oatmeal bake cool after cooking, and then cover and freeze it for happier future times. 

This article from the Huffington Post talks about benefits of freezing oatmeal into cups, but it works for oatmeal bakes too!

I love how easy this recipe comes together and how well the flavors mesh in this oatmeal meal prep dish. It WILL make your life easier and more delicious.
