Baked Oatmeal
|
Ingredients:
4 C oatmeal 2 C full fat plain yogurt 1 C water 4 eggs 1 C sugar (use more or less according to your taste – personally, I like it sweeter so I use a little more!) 2/3 C oil 2 tsp. vanilla 3 tsp. cinnamon 3 tsp. baking soda 1 C milk 2-4 C fresh or frozen fruit (optional) |
|
Directions:
Night before:
Mix oatmeal, yogurt and water in large mixing bowl. Cover with a cloth and let it set on the counter until morning.
Next morning:
Add the rest of the ingredients except the fruit and mix very well – no need for a mixer – I use a wisk and spatula. Now, fold in your fruit then pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350º for 40 – 50 minutes. Serve warm – but it’s great leftover too!
Topping:
2 C Ricotta cheese
2 Tbs powdered sugar
mix these together and place a nice dollop on your baked oatmeal.
Our favorite version is with blueberries. Then we add a little lemon extract to the ricotta topping. The lemon and blueberry combination is fantastic! We also enjoy it with peaches, apples and even apple sauce!
Health Tip: I have cut the oil in half and substituted melted coconut oil for vegetable oil and it turns out great!
