The first time I made this recipe I was a little skeptical. I wasn’t too sure about the liquid ratio and basically just added a bunch of random simple ingredients into a bowl and crossed my fingers it would work. When the dish was done baking and I gave it a try, only one thing came to mind, “why the heck had I not been making baked oats sooner!?”
Baked oats are one of those things that sound way fancier then they actually are. While they might taste fancy, they’re one of the easiest things to make. They’re also very forgiving, a lil’ more of this and less of that won’t make a huge different in this recipe. The most important thing is to follow the oats to dairy free milk ratio (3:2), and always add two eggs.
I also tried this recipe with a variety of fruits –fresh, frozen, skin off, skin on, and the banana-berry combo was my absolute favourite. One time, I substituted berries for cranberries and that tasted really good too.
If you’re looking for a healthy and easy breakfast that tastes great right out of the over, or stores perfectly for breakfast (or snack) meal prep, this recipe is for you!
