HOW TO MAKE High Protein Triple Berry Bake

This bake blends oats, yogurt, milk, eggs, and berries into a warm, soft casserole. The base is mild and slightly sweet. The berries give bursts of tartness and color. You do not need to be a skilled baker. Mix in a bowl, pour into a pan, and bake. Below are clear steps and helpful tips so your bake comes out just right.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• 8×8 inch or similar baking dish
• Nonstick spray or a small amount of butter to grease the dish
• Oven mitts
• Cooling rack

Ingredients You’ll Need :

• Rolled oats
• Greek yogurt
• Almond milk (or milk of choice)
• Honey or maple syrup
• Baking powder
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon
• Salt
• Mixed berries
• Eggs
• Chopped nuts (optional)
• Fresh mint (optional)

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a thin layer of butter.
2. In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mix is smooth and the oats are coated.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolk and white are blended and slightly frothy.
4. Pour the whisked eggs into the oat mixture and stir well until fully combined.
5. Gently fold in the mixed berries so they do not break and stain the whole batter.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. If you like a crunchy top, sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bake.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes. The bake should be golden on top and set in the center. A toothpick will come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
9. Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 10 minutes. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
10. Slice into squares and garnish with fresh mint if you like.

HOW TO SERVE High Protein Triple Berry Bake

Serve warm for a cozy breakfast or after-school snack. Add a spoon of extra Greek yogurt on top for more protein or a light drizzle of honey for more sweetness. You can also serve slices cold, straight from the fridge, which is nice on hot days. For a fuller meal, pair this bake with a savory egg dish or a small piece of grilled chicken. If you want a savory main to balance the sweet bake at brunch, try the simple glaze and oven style used in the baked teriyaki chicken drumsticks recipe for a main course at the same meal.

STORAGE & FREEZING : High Protein Triple Berry Bake

Store leftover bake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm a slice in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or heat in a 325°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through. You can also freeze the bake: wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm as above. Freezing keeps texture and flavor well when wrapped tightly to avoid freezer burn.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

• Top each slice with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a few extra fresh berries.
• Add a small handful of granola on top for crunch.
• Drizzle a little maple syrup or honey just before serving.
• Serve alongside a hard-boiled egg or a small salad for a balanced plate.
• Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a bright look and mild flavor.

VARIATIONS

• Nut-Free: Omit nuts and top with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower for crunch.
• Chocolate Berry: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter and sprinkle dark chocolate chips on top.
• Vegan Swap: Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg) and a dairy-free yogurt to make this plant-based.
• Apple-Berry: Replace some berries with chopped apple and add a little extra cinnamon for a fall twist.
• Protein Boost: Stir in a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the wet mix and add a splash more milk if it seems thick.

Make it into a brunch spread by adding other baked items or proteins. For a spicy sweet main course to pair with your brunch, you might enjoy the sticky heat of the baked crunchy hot honey chicken as a contrast to the fruity bake.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen berries?
A: Yes. You can use frozen berries. Fold them in while still frozen to keep colors and juices from turning the batter too purple. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the bake time.

Q: Is this recipe gluten-free?
A: It can be if you use certified gluten-free rolled oats. Most oats are naturally gluten-free but may be contaminated, so check the label if you need it gluten-free.

Q: Can I make this in a muffin tin?
A: Yes. Scoop the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin and bake at 350°F for about 18–22 minutes until set. Muffins make a great grab-and-go breakfast.

Q: How much protein is in one serving?
A: Exact protein depends on your brand of yogurt and eggs. A typical serving with Greek yogurt and two eggs will give a good protein boost, often around 10–15 grams per serving. Add nuts or extra yogurt to increase that number.

Q: Can I sweeten with stevia or another sugar-free sweetener?
A: Yes. Use a measure that matches the sweetness level you want and note that texture may change slightly. Liquid sweeteners may require a small batter adjustment.

MAKE-AHEAD TIPS FOR High Protein Triple Berry Bake

You can prepare the batter the night before and store it covered in the fridge. Mix the eggs into the batter right before you bake if you want a very fresh rise, or do everything the night before and tuck it into the fridge to bake the next morning. If you plan to bake from chilled, add 2–3 extra minutes to the baking time. This bake also freezes well after baking: cool completely, slice, and wrap each piece before freezing for quick breakfasts. If you like to plan a full meal, pair this bake with easy make-ahead protein dishes or desserts like the creamy banana strawberry cheesecake fantasy for a brunch or sweet table.
