Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups milk (I like using unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed (or 1 egg)
  • 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas (sliced OR 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce)
  • 1 1/2 cup mix-ins (a blend of nuts, fruit or chocolate chips)
  • cooking spray

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F and spray an 8x8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add in wet ingredients: Add in the milk, sugar, flaxseed, coconut oil, vanilla and bananas. Stir to combine and then add in any mix-ins that you're using.
  • Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Scatter the remaining mix-ins across the top.
  • Bake: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is nicely golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Portion and serve. Drizzle each portion with maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter.
  • For storage: store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: 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.
