Baked Oatmeal
A warm comforting brown sugar baked oatmeal is a perfect weeknight breakfast and can serve a crowd!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups Simple Truth Organic Rolled Oats
- ½ cup Walnut Pieces
- ½ - ¾ cup Brown Sugar (divided, reserve 2 Tablespoons - ¼ cup for topping. May substitute 100% real maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 large Simple Truth Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- 1 ½ cups Fresh Fruit (optional: apples, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together rolled oats, brown sugar, nuts, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Reserve ¼ cup of brown sugar for the topping.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave.
- Add all ingredients together and place in an 8 or 9-inch baking dish. If you want to add fruit to the baked oatmeal, place it at the bottom of the baking dish. Some of the best fruits to use are -- apples, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc. I would suggest using about 1 ½ cups of fresh fruit.
- Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup of brown sugar all over the top of the oatmeal. This helps to create a sugary crust when it is baked. Bake for 35-45 minutes. Once it is baked, top with fresh berries or your favorite fruits. Serve warm.
