Baked Oatmeal
Description
Baked Oatmeal combines rolled oats with mashed ripe banana, almond butter, and almond milk, giving the base a creamy, subtly nutty character. It is flavored with cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt, then mixed with chopped pecans and blueberries folded in to add bursts of flavor and crunchy contrast. The dish is assembled in a baking dish and topped with more blueberries, pecans, brown sugar, and coconut flakes for texture and sweetness.
Baked at 350°F, the oatmeal cooks until the top crisps slightly and the center sets to a custard-like consistency. The final texture contrasts crunchy topping with moist and tender oats inside. The combination of banana and maple syrup provides natural sweetness without refined sugar.
This baked oatmeal is suitable for serving warm or at room temperature, ideal for breakfast or brunch. It can be sliced into portions and pairs well with milk or yogurt. The use of pantry staples and baking allows making a breakfast dish that can be prepared ahead and enjoyed over several days.
