Vanilla Cherry Almond Baked Oatmeal

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Vanilla Cherry Almond Baked Oatmeal is the perfect complement to your slow Saturday mornings & will have your house smelling amazing while it bakes for the ultimate weekend vibes. Pair with a strong cup of coffee & you’re set!

Ingredients in Vanilla Cherry Almond Baked Oatmeal

Part of why I love this dish so much is the simplicity of all the ingredients, you likely have most of these ingredients already in your pantry & fridge!

  • Large flake rolled oats (I prefer large flake to the other types)
  • Cinnamon and nutmeg, because no oatmeal dish can go without cozy spices
    chia seeds for a fibre boost!
  • Typical baking ingredients including salt, baking powder and vanilla extract
  • Milk- I used 1% here. I haven’t tried any other variations such as almond. I used regular diary milk here because milk gives a boost of protein where its almond counterpart wouldn’t.
  • Eggs
  • Honey
  • Olive oil- a great way to add some healthy fats!
  • Frozen cherries- fresh would work, however this dish can be made year round using frozen!
  • Almonds

  • Vanilla Cherry Almond Baked Oatmeal

Make Ahead Option for Vanilla Cherry Almond Baked Oatmeal

This breakfast is no doubt the ultimate weekend brunch dish, however this can easily be made ahead for easy breakfast all workweek. I made a batch for myself on Sunday and plan to enjoy a slice or two with some Greek yogurt before heading off to work in the morning.


This dish will last in the fridge for about 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 25 seconds and serve with a dollop of greek yogurt on top, even a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if you’d like!

Does this garlic peeling hack really work? 🧄 Does this garlic peeling hack really work? 🧄 

Garlic is probably my most reliably used ingredient in all my recipes so any way to make peeling less of a pain, I’m interested!

Goes to show the usual way is usually the best way, but any pros can let me know if I did this wrong 😅
