Holiday Baked Oats Recipe (W/Banana, Orange & Cranberry)
This quick and easy baked oatmeal recipe has tangy sweet pops of cranberry, crunchy toasted pecans and a hint of orange zest. It's a simple breakfast that tastes really special. I've got easy swaps to make this baked oatmeal vegan and/or sugar free.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 banana mashed, over ripe
- 1 cup cranberries fresh
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ? cup maple syrup (or brown sugar or honey) 6-7 packets of stevia for sugar free
- ¼ cup coconut oil (or butter)
- 2 cups milk (or almond milk, or other milk alternative)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- dash salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 orange zested
- ½ cup pecans chopped, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Spray a 1 quart casserole dish with vegetable spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oatmeal, mashed banana, fresh and dried cranberries, maple syrup, coconut oil, milk, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, orange zest and toasted pecans. (Note: coconut oil is a liquid at room temperature, but rapidly chills to a solid, so it may clump. That's normal.)
- Stir well to blend the mixture evenly. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until the oats are set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve with extra maple syrup on the side and milk or half and half. For extra zing, cut the zested orange into segments to serve with the baked oatmeal.
