On Mother's Day, my daughters wanted to make a special breakfast for me but we weren't going to the grocery store and I was trying to think of what I wanted with what we had in the house. I remembered this baked oatmeal that I had recently seen on Instagram and it was delicious! You've probably seen the post or the reel but here is the full recipe and the proof that it's great in real life! We ended up making it a few more times in the weeks that followed.
The fruit & toppings can be easily adjusted and it's a "flexible" recipe in terms of portions but I like that it doesn't have added sugar but satisfies the sweet tooth and contains whole grains, fiber & protein. You'll see below how adaptable it is . . . omit the chia seeds if you don't have them!
One Pan Baked Oatmeal (4 servings)
1/2 T coconut oil (or butter)
1 banana
1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
Almond milk (or soy or regular milk)
3 tsp. chia seeds (optional)
frozen or fresh berries
shredded coconut
sliced almonds
optional: maple syrup, agave or brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium baking dish, brush the bottom with coconut oil (or butter). Mash a banana all over the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup oatmeal. Pour in enough almond, soy or cow's milk to just cover the oatmeal. Sprinkle with chia seeds. Whisk the oatmeal, milk and chia with a fork to combine. Top with frozen or fresh berries, some chopped nuts and coconut and bake for 25 minutes. If desired, sweeten with maple syrup, agave, or brown sugar.
