A sweet-and-savory mix of strawberries, almonds, and oats combine for an easy oven-baked breakfast. . Yvonne Ruperti

Oven-baking oatmeal is a great alternative to stovetop because it's hands-free. It's easy to add in as many extra flavorings (fruit, spices, nuts) as you want. Here, big, juicy strawberries and crunchy almonds will trick you into thinking this dish is more dessert than breakfast.

Why this recipe works:

  • Oven baking is a no-fuss, hands-off way to cook oatmeal.
  • Strawberries provide tart and juicy contrast to the sweet oatmeal.
