What could be better than a bowl of baked oatmeal on a cold morning?
I went to a friend's house and she served us some of her yummy baked oatmeal for brunch. She added blueberries that she had picked and froze last summer. Just simply delicious! I came home and realized it's so easy and it lasted us all week! Savannah and I have been putting leftovers in bowls, adding milk and microwaving them until warm. I had a bag of frozen mixed berries I added and loved it! I think you can throw anything you'd like in the mix- even shredded carrots to give it a "carrot cake" look and taste.
Here's the recipe I used- but there are tons out there and feel free to swap out or switch up as much as you'd like with a simple recipe like this.
Winter Baked Oatmeal
5 cups of oats
2 cups milk
4 large eggs
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
Options: 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 shredded carrots, chocolate chips, frozen berries, fresh seasonal fruit ( I have enjoyed strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, peaches, apples etc).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix up everything in a bowl and pour into a greased 9x13 pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Any leftovers store nicely in the refrigerator!
