GF Baked Oatmeal

Lately I have been enjoying baked oatmeal every morning for breakfast. I just put a batch in the oven and thought I would share the recipe. The nice thing about this one is that there are several very simple variations you can make so it is regular, gluten-free, or even dairy free! And uses ingredients most people have in their kitchen on a regular basis.

I will write the recipe the way that I personally prefer to make it, but will include substitutions in parenthesis. 

1 1/2 c. GF Quick-Cooking Oats (or regular quick-cook oats)

1/4 c. Brown Sugar

1/2 c. Milk (or almond milk)

1/4 c. Butter, melted (or coconut oil, or vegan butter)

1 Egg (or 1/2 banana, mashed)

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1/4 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

3/4 c. Fresh or Frozen Berries

Preheat oven to 350 degreees.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Spread into a greased 8x8 baking dish.

Bake for 25-30 mins, until edges are golden brown and center is set.

Serve immediately and top with a few extra tablespoons of milk. 

Serve 2-3

*I use whatever berries I have in the house. Usually it ends up being blueberries and strawberries as I like a mixture.

*I usually eat half of this for breakfast, then save the rest in the fridge to reheat and eat the next morning.
