A creamy mixed berry oatmeal that’s quick to make and oh, so delicious! Perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack to enjoy throughout the day.
If there’s one breakfast that we eat on repeat in our house, it’s oatmeal. I keep a big jar of rolled oats on the kitchen counter, which we of course use for oatmeal, but we also use them to make muffins, breads, and desserts!
This oatmeal is made smooth by blending the oats with milk in a blender before cooking it on the stove. I added berries, but you could easily use bananas, peaches, or whatever your favorite fruit is! The end result is so creamy and delicious, it’s definitely worth the extra step!
Top with more berries, your favorite nuts/seeds, and serve! A simple and cozy meal in a matter of minutes. Enjoy!

- Pour oat mixture into a medium saucepan and place onto the stove over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until oatmeal has thickened, about 2-4 minutes.

Holly molly the thickness and creaminess of this oatmeal was really dreamy, too bad I wasn’t able to eat this warm because I spent too much time taking pictures 😉 Thanks for the wonderful recipe xoxo
Aw, I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Claire! I agree, it’s so creamy and delicious, definitely my new favorite way to make oats! Thanks for the kind words.. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
This looks so amazing. I’m always a sucker for anything that has tons of berries in it!
Blending the oats is a great tip! I usually buy ready brek (they are ground porridge oats) because I prefer a smoother texture. Loving this recipe! I will have to try it for breakfast soon!
I seriously LOVE oatmeal and this looks amazing! I’ll have to give it a try this week.
Yum!! This sounds perfect for a winter breakfast, when all you want is something to warm you up. I love how vibrant the color of the oatmeal is, too. Beautiful!
Wow that looks delicious! That would make a fantastic breakfast. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
It’s so funny I was just explaining to my babies why I buy the plain oatmeal and not the flavored stuff. I like to add my own flavorings and fruit! So, this is a new twist on oatmeal for me to serve my babies, Thanks!
Oh my! I’ll have to try this next week. It looks so yummy!
This look delicious and it’s such a pretty colour. Thanks for the tip about blending them beforehand. It’s so nice to have a warm breakfast when it’s sold outside!
Looks so yummy. Pinned it for later
This looks absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to try!
I will definitely pass this recipe on to my sister as she is more of an oatmeal eater in the family. I love the variety of berries that used within your recipe.
Blending it is something I’ve never thought of before, great tip! I’ve gotta try this one.
This looks amazing and I love how quick it is!!! Yum!
Thanks, Emily! Have a great evening!
Wow, who would have thought of putting all this in a blender and then making oatmeal! 🙂 love it and love the addition of berries to it!

You pictures are gorgeous! I’ve been making oatmeal daily for baby lately – might have to add some berries to it to see how she likes it!
Thank you, Hetal! I really appreciate the kind words!
