Baked Berry Oatmeal
This yummy baked oatmeal is the perfect breakfast or brunch food!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup loosely packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup canned light coconut milk, plus more for drizzling (or milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter,melted
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen
- sanding sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a small baking dish, that serves two-four, with nonstick spray. Set aside.In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, applesauce, melted butter, egg and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently mix until combined. Gently stir in the berries with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top of the oatmeal is set and golden brown. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes. Place in serving bowls and add drizzle of coconut milk. Can also top with a bit of sanding sugar, if you like.-Our local grocery store does not carry light coconut milk, so I use the regular coconut milk and dilute it with milk. You can also use milk of your choice. Use your favorite berries or fruit – we love mixture of red raspberries and blueberries.-This recipe, adapted slightly, is from “Seriously Delish” by Jessica Merchant.
