Strawberry cheesecake baked oatmeal – Strawberry baked oats with a cheesecake swirl. A great breakfast for feeding a crowd or make ahead for the week.
I decided to come up with a few new holiday recipes this week. Strawberry baked oatmeal may not sound like traditional holiday food. But, this is the time of year when many people need to feed a crowd, even at breakfast time.
This baked oatmeal with applesauce recipe is perfect for that. It makes a lot. It’s filling. And, it’s got a cheesecake flavored swirl, so it’s delicious.
You could even do all the prep work ahead of time to make this an overnight baked oatmeal. That way, all you have to do in the morning is bake it.
Baked oatmeal keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week. You could also freeze any left overs and defrost them later.

Ingredients
For the oats
- 2 large eggs
- 3 Tablespoons canola oil -or your preferred cooking oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk -or your preferred milk alternative
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 3 cups sliced strawberries -fresh or frozen
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
For the cheesecake drizzle
- 4 oz. cream cheese -softened to room temperature
- 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Prepare the oats. In a large bowl, add the eggs, oil, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the milk, applesauce, 2 teaspoons vanilla, the cinnamon, and the salt. Whisk until well combined. Add the oats, strawberries, and baking powder. Stir until the oats are well coated in the liquid.
- Pour the oats into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Drizzle. In a small bowl add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk until well combined. This should be thin enough to slowly pour. If it’s too thick, add more milk, or microwave for a few seconds.
- Drizzle the cream cheese mixture back and forth (in a zig zag motion) on top of the oats. Turn the baking dish 90 degrees. Drag a butter knife back and forth (in a zig zag motion) through the oats and cream cheese making a swirl design.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
