Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal Recipe
Description
The Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal Recipe blends rolled oats with a wet mixture incorporating eggs, canola oil, granulated sugar, milk, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and baking powder. Fresh or frozen strawberries are folded into the mixture to infuse fruity flavor and moisture. This batter is baked until set in a sprayed 9x13-inch dish.
On top, a creamy cheesecake drizzle is prepared from softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. It is poured in a zig-zag pattern over the oat mixture and swirled with a knife to create a marbled effect. The result is a baked dish with a tender, moist oat base contrasted with pockets of sweet, creamy cheesecake and bursts of strawberry.
This baked oatmeal works well as a hearty breakfast or brunch option that can be prepped ahead and baked fresh. The cream cheese drizzle elevates a standard oatmeal bake into a dessert-like experience, balancing tart strawberry and cinnamon flavors.
Ingredients
For the oats
- 2 large egg
- 3 Tablespoons canola oil -or your preferred cooking oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk -or your preferred milk alternative
- ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 3 cups strawberries fresh or frozen, sliced
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
For the cheesecake drizzle
- 4 oz. cream cheese -softened to room temperature
- 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Prepare the oats. In a large bowl, add the eggs, oil, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the milk, applesauce, 2 teaspoons vanilla, the cinnamon, and the salt. Whisk until well combined. Add the oats, strawberries, and baking powder. Stir until the oats are well coated in the liquid.
- Pour the oats into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Drizzle. In a small bowl add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk until well combined. This should be thin enough to slowly pour. If it’s too thick, add more milk, or microwave for a few seconds.
- Drizzle the cream cheese mixture back and forth (in a zig zag motion) on top of the oats. Turn the baking dish 90 degrees. Drag a butter knife back and forth (in a zig zag motion) through the oats and cream cheese making a swirl design.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
