Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats not instant
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Equipment

  • 8x8 Inch Baking Dish
  • Medium bowl
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Gently toss to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), beaten eggs, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  7. Pour half of the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Spoon half of the sugared strawberries (along with their juices) evenly over the oat mixture.
  9. Pour the remaining oat mixture over the strawberries.
  10. Top with the remaining strawberries and their juices.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
  12. Let the baked strawberry oats cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For vegan baked strawberry oats, use non-dairy milk, coconut oil or vegan butter, and a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken). To prevent strawberries from sinking, toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour before adding them to the oat mixture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Serve warm with yogurt, maple syrup, or chopped nuts.
