Strawberries and Cream Baked Oatmeal

This baked oatmeal combines old fashioned oats with vanilla protein powder and a mixture of milk and egg whites for a custardy texture. Fresh or frozen strawberries provide a fruity sweetness, complemented by dollops of slightly melted cream cheese swirled throughout for a creamy contrast. Maple syrup and a touch of sugar balance the tartness while baking develops a golden edge around the oatmeal. It bakes together into a warm, hearty breakfast dish that serves six and can be sliced for convenient portions.

Description

Strawberries and Cream Baked Oatmeal is a hearty breakfast casserole that unites oats, protein powder, and fresh or frozen strawberries into a custard-like bake. The addition of egg whites and milk provides structure and moisture, while the protein powder adds body to the texture. Cream cheese is softened and swirled across the surface before baking to introduce a creamy element that melts into pockets throughout the dish.

Baked at 375°F for 35 to 40 minutes, the oats develop a tender interior with gentle browning at the edges. Sweetness is layered in from maple syrup and sugar sprinkled on the strawberries, which macerate slightly if given time, bringing out their juices. This dessert-like oatmeal can be easily portioned for six servings, making it practical for meal prep or a sit-down breakfast.

This dish can be enjoyed warm and pairs well with coffee or tea. Its built-in protein and fruit content make it suitable as a fulfilling morning meal. The recipe accommodates frozen strawberries, enhancing its convenience year-round.
