Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is a favorite in my house. This recipe is easily to customize. It is chuck full of oats, nuts, and fruit and will have you feeling good all day.

This recipes is so simple and so easy to make. First, mix up all the dry ingredients in large bowl (oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices). Next, in another bowl or a large measuring cup mix together the milk, eggs, and oil. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then add the fruit and nuts. Bake and enjoy!

This recipe can be adapted and customized so many different ways:

Milk: Use any dairy or non dairy milk. My preference is to use Oat Milk.

Oil: Coconut and vegetable oil work well. Note that coconut oil does have a slight coconut taste.

Fruit: Two cups of fruit are needed for a full recipe. Switch up the fruit based on what i is in season. Last time I made it I used cherries and apples; the time before I used blueberries and strawberries. This recipe is a great way to use fruit that is on its last leg.

Nuts: Pair the nuts with the fruit. Apples and pears go well with walnuts, while cherries pair nicely with pecans or sliced almonds.

Dried Fruit: I love the adding dried fruit to baked oatmeal when I have some on hand. Some of my favorites are raisins, Craisins, dried blueberries, and dried cherries.

Spices: Add in a teaspoon of your favorite spice. My go to is cinnamon. Choose spices that complements the fruit.

Apple, walnuts, Craisins with apple pie spice

Pear, walnuts, and dried cherries

Mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries and strawberries) with pecans

Cherries, sliced almonds, and raisins with almond extract (1/4 tsp)

Peaches, walnuts, and dried blueberries
