Berry Oatmeal Bake
This berry oatmeal bake is soft, satisfying, naturally sweetened. It takes less than 10 minutes to make before baking, plus it's gluten free.
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned (rolled) oats or gluten free!
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ripe mashed banana or ½ cup applesauce
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1¾ cup almond milk any dairy or non dairy works!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen berries
For the optional glaze:
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt adjust sweetness if your yogurt is already sweetened!
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey or to taste!
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
For the oatmeal bake:
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
- Now, add ALL of the ingredients into the greased pan. I add the berries last because their juices seep (especially if frozen), but there is no wrong way to do this. Simply mix all the ingredients together until fully combined.
- Lastly, place the pan into the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the middle is set and the edges turn golden-brown.
- Drizzle the optional yogurt "glaze" once at room temp or individually so the yogurt doesn't melt everywhere. Other topping ideas include a drizzle of maple syrup, extra berries, or even whip cream! Serve immediately or reheat at a later time. Enjoy!
For the glaze:
- In a small bowl add the yogurt, syrup, and cinnamon. Mix with a spoon then drizzle as desired on the oatmeal bake or by slice. Make sure the oatmeal bake isn't too warm when you glaze, otherwise it will melt the yogurt!
