Baked Oatmeal with Mixed Berries

To make this vegan, you can substitute chia or flax eggs. Combine 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed OR 1 Tbsp chia seeds with 1 Tbsp water. Allow to sit for 5-7 minutes to activate/gel before adding to the other ingredients.

Serves: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats (gluten free, if needed)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1¾ cups milk (I use almond milk, but any dairy or non-dairy milk will work)
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• 1 egg (or 1 Tbsp chia seed/flax seed, as directed above)
• ¼ tsp vanilla
• 1½-2 cups frozen mixed berries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine your dry ingredients--oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, syrup, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.

Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in frozen berries gently.

Pour mixture into a greased 8x8 (or 2 quart) baking dish.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes, or until cooked through and just starting to brown on top.

Serve with favorite toppings!
