An easy, healthy breakfast bake that comes together quickly and fills your home with the warm aroma of oats and berries.

Berry Bulgur Breakfast Bake

Guys, it’s SUNNY! I’m in Holland and the sun has been shining for the past 3 days, which must be a record for this place. When it’s drizzly and gray, my morning routine involves eating a warm bowl of oatmeal in my oversized puffy North Face jacket while I wait for the radiator to boot up and thaw me out.

But now that it’s sunny, everything has changed! Sunny = berries and happiness and taking off my North Face before 9 and energy for making a breakfast fancier than oatmeal. And so, this Berry Bulgur Breakfast Bake was born.

And also, HOW EXCITING IS THIS?! I made my first video! With tremendous help from the boyfriend-tulip-man, who selflessly offered his hands as models, we put this Berry Bulgur Breakfast Bake on the big screen. Check it out!

Berry Bulgur Breakfast Bake

I only discovered bulgur last week but golly gee is it a fun food. It has resemblance to the texture of quinoa, but it’s made from wheat and cooks sooo muchfaster. And because it contains a lot of the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, its got a lot of healthy stuff going for it too. And there’s nothing better than a breakfast that takes minimal effort/dishes AND packs a healthy punch, amiright?

An easy, healthy breakfast bake that comes together quickly and fills your home with the warm aroma of oats and berries.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp butter or flavorless oil 14 g
  • 3 ripe bananas sliced
  • 2 ½ cups frozen or 1 ½ cups thawed mixed berries 12 oz, 340 g
  • ½ cup fine or medium grind bulgur 94 g
  • ½ cup rolled oats 67 g
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar 25 g
  • ¼ tsp salt 1.5 g
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 2.6 g
  • 2 cups milk 473 mL, whichever variety you prefer
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 mL
  • ½ cup coconut flakes 20 g, optional

Instructions 

  • Heat butter or oil over medium/high heat in a cast iron skillet (if possible) or large frying pan.
  • Add sliced bananas and cook about 3 minutes on each side, until bananas begin to brown and caramelize. Remove from heat.
  • If you have a cast iron skillet, we’ll bake this right in the skillet. If you do not, grease a medium-sized baking dish and transfer bananas into the dish. Evenly layer thawed berries onto the bananas.
  • In a separate bowl, mix bulgur, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour evenly over berries.
  • In a separate bowl, mix milk, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly pour evenly over bulgur mixture.*
  • Sprinkle coconut flakes over top.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 C) for 45 to 60 minutes, until top is lightly browned.
  • Enjoy warm or cold, drizzled with honey or topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh berries.

Tips & Tricks

*Alternatively, you can swap steps 4 and 5 to have the grains on bottom and fruit on top, like I did in this video. It makes for a more colorful bake!

      It’s such a versatile grain! You can make it sweet or savory, much like oatmeal or sturdy like couscous. I love it 🙂

      It’s a really interesting grain! I’m cooking a few more recipes with it this week, starting with a falafel sandwich today if you’re interested in trying out a few more bulgur ideas 🙂

    Looks delicious! I just wanted to know what size skillet did you use for this recipe. I’m assuming a 12 inch skillet by I wanted to double check to make sure.

      Hi Amy, great question! Yes my cast iron skillet is a 12 inch, and you could use a similarly sized square/rectangular baking dish if need be. Happy cooking to ya! 🙂

    This looks so good – are you able to tell me how many grams 1 portion is? I can’t seem to see in the recipe.

      Hi Katie! Sorry but I’m not sure many grams it would be, but this recipe makes about 10 cup-sized servings 🙂

    Does this hold well in the fridge for multiple breakfasts and/or can you freeze ?

      Great question Andrea! This store well in the fridge for a few days. I haven’t tried freezing it before so I’m afraid I can’t give a good answer there. Would love to here how it goes if you do freeze it! 😀

    To cut down on potassium (3 bananas) what could I substitute?

      Hi Nan! While I haven’t had the chance to try this, you might be able to sub in apple sause (I would use about 1/2 cup apple sauce per banana). Would love to hear how it goes!

    Can you remove the eggs to make this vegan? Also, what can use in place of the eggs?

      Hi there! I haven’t tried making this recipe with eggs so it’s hard to say what exactly would work well, but flax eggs would probably be your best bet!

    Hi Sarah
    I’ve made this bake numerous times now, each time it was tasty and well appreciated. So thank you for an excellent easy to follow recipe. I’ve made a few changes you may or may not be interested in.
    I now replace the sugar with a few chopped dates still tastes great. This week I use sliced apple on the base instead of bananas, again it tasted great.
    I noticed a comment in Oct19 asking if it freezes well, you hadn’t at that time tried freezing it, have you since?
    Thanks again
    Roddy

    Excellent! Made this for a second time yesterday, my hubby loves it! I changed up the frozen fruits and omitted the coconut (we don’t like it). This recipe is definitely a keeper! I used Pam on the glass baking dish.5 stars
