Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients:
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional add-ins: 1 cup fruit (fresh or dried), nuts, or chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. If you’re adding fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and add toppings like yogurt, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Variations:
- Berry Baked Oatmeal: Use mixed berries or sliced bananas.
- Apple Cinnamon: Add diced apples and increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
- Chocolate Chip: Stir in chocolate chips for a sweeter treat.
Baked oatmeal is great for meal prep, as it can be made ahead and reheated for busy mornings. Enjoy!
