    Start your morning strong with cranberry orange baked oatmeal! Made with no added sugar, it's an easy and healthy make-ahead breakfast that will fill you up and keep you energized for hours. (gluten-free, vegetarian)

    What's the best way to protect yourself from the sniffles during cold and flu season? Good nutrition! Making sure you're eating lots of nutrient dense foods on a daily basis can help strengthen your immune system so that you're able to fight off colds more easily. One of my favorite ways to pack in nutrients is with a healthy breakfast first thing in the morning. Even better if it's already made when I wake up - like this cranberry orange baked oatmeal!

    Why You'll Love This Baked Oatmeal

    This meal prep-friendly breakfast provides immune-boosting nutrients like vitamin C, protein, zinc, vitamin E, and prebiotic fiber. A dose of healthy fat helps your body to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins and keep you satisfied longer. It's a tasty breakfast loaded with nutrition - and it also no added sugar for steady, lasting energy!

    And of course, what good is a nutritious breakfast if it doesn't taste good? This cranberry orange baked oatmeal is so delicious, y'all. It's naturally sweetened with 100%, which is complemented by fresh ginger, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Walnuts add a nice crunch, but you can leave them out if you're not a fan.

    The Ingredients

    • Orange juice. Use 100% orange juice without added sugar.
    • Milk. Dairy or non-dairy, either works.
    • Greek yogurt. Any fat level is just fine.
    • Eggs.
    • Ginger. I like to grate fresh ginger or use ginger paste, but you can also use ground ginger.
    • Rolled Oats (also called old fashioned oats).
    • Flaxseed. Ground flaxseed adds healthy fat and fiber. You can leave it out if you don't have it.
    • Spices - cinnamon and nutmeg
    • Cranberries. If you can find them, use unsweetened dried cranberries. If not, the cranberries will add just a little sugar.
    • Walnuts - Try swapping in pecans, or leave them out altogether for a nut-free breakfast.

    How To Make It

    1. Mix the oats, flaxseed, spices and salt in a large bowl.
    2. Mix the wet ingredients (including ginger) in another bowl.
    3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine.
    4. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts.
    5. Pour everything into a greased baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until the center is set.
    6. Remove the oatmeal from the oven and cool before cutting into pieces.

    How To Store Baked Oatmeal

    Store baked oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen oatmeal in the refrigerator overnight.

      I am looking forward to trying the baked oatmeal! I have been eating boiled steel cut oats daily for several years & I love them. My husband refuses to eat them. I think he might like this recipe. My question is about the vitamin C. I have read in the past that heat kills vitamin C. Since you are a nutritionist (& I love that) I thought you may have also heard or read about that.

        I hope he enjoys this recipe! Vitamin C can be degraded by heat and long-term storage. Since vitamin C is water soluble, it is typically lost in the water when a vitamin C containing food is boiled. However, I'm unsure of the effect of baking at this specific time and temperature on the vitamin C content.
