Oh-So-Easy Baked Berry Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is one of my all time favorites. This one is great because it’s made with eggs so it has that added protein which will keep you fuller longer. I had initially wanted to use fresh berries for this, but since my boys devour them, I decided to go with my favorite dried berries from Woodstock Foods. Since they are pre-sweetened, you don’t need much sweetener in these oats, if any at all. Feel free to play around with it to suit your tastebuds!

Here’s what you need…

• 2 cups oats 
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 cups milk (I used vanilla flavored coconut milk)
• 2 eggs
• ½ tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup dried mixed berries (I used the bag of blueberry/strawberry/cranberry)

Here’s what you do…

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Combine oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar
3. In a separate bowl, mix milk, eggs, vanilla and then add to the dry mixture
4. Stir until well combined, and add in dried berries
5. Spray or grease glass cooking dish
6. Pour mixture into dish and bake for approximately 20 minutes. 

*Baking times will vary based on the size dish you choose to bake oatmeal in. I used a 6×8 pan and baked for approximately 20 minutes. Serve warm!

Place the remainder in the fridge, covered, and enjoy within a few days.
