Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Fruit

  • 2 cups chopped strawberries, divided
  • Sliced strawberries, for topping

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set it aside to ensure your baked oatmeal does not stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the old fashioned oats, baking powder, and kosher salt. Stir them together and set aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  3. Blend Strawberry Milk: Place 1 cup of the chopped strawberries along with the unsweetened vanilla almond milk into a blender. Blend this mixture until it becomes smooth to infuse strawberry flavor evenly into the baked oatmeal.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the blended strawberry milk over the oats mixture. Add the melted unsalted butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything well until fully combined. Finally, fold in the remaining 1 cup of chopped strawberries to add texture and berry bursts.
  5. Assemble in Pan: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Top the mixture with sliced strawberries for an attractive and fresh garnish.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the oats are set and the top turns lightly golden brown. This ensures the oatmeal is fully cooked and has a lovely crust.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. This cooling step helps the oatmeal firm up slightly, making it easier to cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any type of milk you prefer, such as cow’s milk or oat milk.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based butter substitute.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat mixture for a warm spice note.
  • The baked oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
  • Feel free to swap strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries.
