Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 cups rolled old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup grated carrots
  • ½ cup canned crushed pineapple in juice (strained)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (plus more for topping)
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • pinch of sea salt
  • ¼ cup whipped cream cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add all ingredients for the baked oatmeal in a large bowl and stir until combined.
  • Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check it around 45 minutes and if the top is getting too brown, cover with foil for the remaining time. The baked oatmeal will still be a little soft to the touch but should be cooked through and not jiggly in the middle.
  • While the oatmeal is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the whipped cream cheese, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla in a small bowl.
  • Remove baked oatmeal from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to cool before serving. Drizzle some of the glaze over each portion when serving.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • To reheat the whole baked oatmeal, cover with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. For individual portions, set oven (or toaster oven) to 350°F and bake for 5-10 minutes or reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.
