Mixed Fruit Baked Oatmeal
Baked Oatmeal Recipe is a deliciously hearty breakfast that will keep your family feeling full and happy.
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup sugar (sub: brown sugar)
- 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (sub: avocado oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (your choice)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (sub: chopped walnuts, slivered almond, sunflower seeds)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (sub: raisins)
- 2 cups diced fruit (Apples, pears or peaches are my favorite for this recipe)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, sugar, flaxseed, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Combine: Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir. Add in the mixed fruit, dried cranberries, and pecans and stir until well combined.
- Bake: Spread the mixture out evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until set in the middle.
- Serve: Serve warm in bowls with a little milk over the top.
Freezer Instructions
Freeze For Later: Prepare according to directions but freeze the baked oatmeal before baking. Wrap tightly in a few layers of plastic wrap and one layer of foil. Place in the back of the freezer for up to 3 months.
Prepare From Frozen: Thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and bake according to directions. You can also defrost in the microwave and bake.
Notes/Tips
- Dairy-Free Option: Use plain dairy-free milk in the recipe.
- Gluten-Free Option: Make sure your oats say “gluten-free” on the package.
- You can use whatever fruit you have! This recipe plays nice with them all.
- Swap the white sugar for brown sugar
- You can use quick oats instead of old fashioned oats in the recipe.
- Because this recipe is so easy, it works great to double and freeze like we do in our 1 Hour Freezer Prep Sessions.
- You can use almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
