Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup fruit (blueberries, bananas, or apples)
  • 1/4 cup nuts or seeds (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and the egg to create a smooth mixture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir thoroughly to combine all components evenly.
  5. Add Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in your chosen fruit and optional nuts or seeds, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Pour into Baking Dish: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute any type of milk, including almond, soy, or cow’s milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup or honey to taste.
  • Feel free to use any fresh or frozen fruit you prefer.
  • For added crunch and nutrition, nuts or seeds are a wonderful optional addition.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated.
