If you need a new breakfast meal prep idea you’ll love these triple berry baked oats. These are simple to throw together for the week and pop in the microwave each morning. These are perfect for those who work 9-5 and need something to grab and go, or those who are home but so busy there is never time to make a full breakfast. Getting a quality breakfast in each day, with some extra protein, will help insure you stay energized and of good mindset your whole day.
WHY MEAL PREP
Making sure you eat macro balanced meals throughout the day isn’t going to happen if you don’t have a plan and systems in place. We can help you establish a routine that will help you meet your goals with our easy 5 day Meal Prep Recipes! If eating the same thing for multiple meals or days in a row isn’t your thing, make multiple meals and freeze half for another week! Or share these with loved ones!
INGREDIENTS
- Bananas -I like overly ripe bananas for a sweeter taste, but just ripe enough bananas will do.
- Old Fashion Oats
- Clean Simple Eats Protein Powder Powder in Cinnamon Roll, Vanilla or Snickerdoodle flavor -This is our favorite protein and can be ordered online with discount code STAYFITMOM.
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Fat Free Fairlife Milk -Or any fat free milk. I like Fairlife because it has a few grams more protein than most and is super creamy.
- Plain Non Fat Greek Yogurt
- Frozen Berries -Or fresh will work fine too!

RECIPE TIPS
- Use ripe bananas– The more ripe the better for a nice sweet bowl of oats.
- Use 2 cup bowls -I use 4 cup glass bowls in most my meal prep videos and recipes, except when making breakfast like this. I find these 2 cup, oven safe bowls in store or online HERE just like the others.
- Don’t over cook! -Don’t cook longer than 15-20 minutes or your oats will be dry. They may appear to be undercooked, just keep in mind you’ll be reheating them in the microwave each morning anyway.
- Make as many servings as YOU want! -You don’t have to make 5 of these. Skip down the the instructions and you’ll see exactly what you need to make each bowl. Make just 1, or make 3 like I did today. I just like to always write the recipe for 5 servings, for a 5 day work week.
QUICK LOOK AT HOW TO MAKE THEM:
TOPPING IDEAS
- Extra Milk -Heat up your oats and top with some extra milk.. It’s actually really yummy!

- Extra Fruit -Add extra berries or banana slices before eating.

Bulk these up and pack in some extra micronutrients by adding some rice cauliflower or shredded zucchini! I would suggest about 1/4 cup per bowl.

MEAL PREP SUPPLIES USED
2 cup glass bowls -Make sure the bowls you’re purchasing are oven safe. They will say so on the label if purchasing in store.
Half size sheet pan – This is the perfect size for 5, 4 cup glass bowls but also works just fine for these 2 cup ones. They will slide around a bit so be careful when putting your bowls in and taking them out of the oven.
REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
These bowls can easily be reheated right in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. If you prefer, reheat the oven and warm them back up for about 5 minutes.
FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
Easily freeze these Triple Berry Baked Oats. Let them cool, cover with the lid, and store for up to a month in the freezer. Make sure you always let the bowls defrost some before putting them in the microwave so they don’t crack.
OTHER FLAVORS TO TRY
You can get so creative with these baked oats! Use all different kinds of protein powder flavors and/or fruit combos to switch them up! Here are a few ideas:
- Lemon Berry – Do blueberries and lemon extract or fresh lemon juice and zest!
- Strawberries and Cream- Use strawberries
- Banana Raisin -Just swap the frozen berries for raisins!
- Peanut Butter- Use CSE Chocolate Peanut Butter protein powder or Chocolate Brownie and top with PB after baking.
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip- Same as above but add chocolate chips!
- Pumpkin – Sub in pumpkin for the Greek yogurt
- Banana Nut- Just add nuts!
- Apple Cinnamon- Add sautéd apple slices and cinnamon

Hi there!
I’m wondering if you could skip putting the yogurt in before baking and add it in when you want to eat it?
Just to keep the cultures in it alive 🙂
Yes of course.
Oh great thanks 😊
I wasn’t sure if it would affect the way the oats cooked because the yogurt was there as extra liquid to ensure they fully cooked. Looking forward to trying these! ☺️
We loved this recipe! If I wanted to double the size of each bowl, should I increase cooking time too?
I used the 2 cup size bowls for this one!
What could you use in place of bananas?
Hi! Canned pure pumpkin would be my first choice. Apple sauce would most likely work well also.
How much of the pumpkin or applesauce would you use?
Hi Jessica! I’m willing to bet 1/4 cup of apple sauce or pumpkin would be perfect.
I don’t have the glass bowls and not buying them today. How long would you recommend cooking if I’m doing the whole 5 serving recipe in one largebowl?
Hi Ty, I don’t think they’ll take more than 5-10 mins of extra cook time. I would just check the center at about 20 minutes and see if they seem done enough.
Looks delish, as always! But did I just totally skip over oven temp?
Hi Nicole! 350 degrees.
How much of the pumpkin or applesauce would you use?
Are the measurements that read 1.5 cups of oats and milk, along with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder correct? If this recipe makes 5 servings and it says measure 1/4 cup of oats & milk and 1/4 tsp of baking powder…that should give us 6 servings.
I intend to make this for meal prep for next week.
Please clarify.
Thank you so much.
Oh no! Good eye Lisa. Yes it should be 1 & 1/4 cup of each the oats and milk, and 1.25 teaspoons bp. I just updated the recipe card. Thanks for pointing that mistake out.
