Healthy Baked Oatmeal Recipe
Description
The Healthy Baked Oatmeal Recipe uses a mixture of milk (such as cashew, oat, or soy), sweetened with pure maple syrup and enriched with eggs and mashed banana to bind the rolled oats. Cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt add flavor and leavening. Mixed berries are folded gently to maintain their shape, and chopped pecans are sprinkled on top for texture and a nutty accent.
Baked at 350°F for about 35 minutes until nearly set, this oatmeal can be baked longer for a drier texture or cooled before serving to allow it to firm up. The baked dish offers a warm, comforting meal with a balance of softness from the oats and moist berries, complemented by the slight crunch of pecans.
It is convenient for make-ahead breakfasts and stores refrigerated for up to five days, making it useful for meal planning. The recipe can be adapted to various pan sizes and baked as muffins for portion control and portability.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk cashew, oat, or soy
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 egg
- ¼ cup banana mashed
- 4 Tbsp. butter melted
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. salt
- 3 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 ¾ cups berries mixed
- ½ cup pecans coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add all ingredients except for the oats and berries to a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour in oats and mix by hand until combined. Stir in berries, being careful not to overmix.
- Spray a 7x11 or 9x9-inch (check this) baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the oatmeal batter. Spread it out evenly into the pan. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, making sure to press them into the oatmeal slightly.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the middle is almost set. For drier oatmeal, cook for 5-10 minutes more.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting in. Serve with butter, additional maple syrup, or yogurt. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- When using a 9x13-inch pan, double the recipe and extend baking time by 10-15 minutes for best results.
- To make muffins instead of a casserole, fill muffin cups three-quarters full and bake 5-10 minutes less than the standard baking time.
