You guys! Are you okay? Am I okay? What is this life?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s one in which I busted out the camera for the first time in many moons to take pictures of a recipe that you might actually have all the ingredients for! This easy baked oatmeal is super flexible, it’s gluten-free, it’s kid-approved (actually this is conditional: if I make it assuming everyone will eat it for breakfast, people want toast and don’t like<\/em> oatmeal…if I make it so I can have an easy breakfast all week, everyone eats it ravenously).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So: use whatever fruit you want! I used 2 apples and a handful of slightly-squishy blueberries. I made it with peaches over the summer, I’ve used one fruit or a combo…whatever ya got.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Top that with oats, and then whisk up a mixture of milk and eggs and something sweet. I always use flax eggs (see recipe notes!) and usually almond milk, but I’ve made it with regular milk, cashew milk, oat milk, and even coconut milk from a can. You can use maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Drizzle the liquid over the fruit and oats, then nudge things around with a spatula so that all the oats are a little submerged and the liquid is distributed and seeping down to the bottom. Then – bake! This smells so good!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let me try to describe the texture of this baked oatmeal. It’s not creamy and thick like oatmeal-oatmeal (we love steel-cut oats<\/a> and Scottish oats<\/a>!)…it’s kinda like a softer, chewy, more virtuous crisp? Sometimes when I sit down with a big ol’ rectangle of it something in my brain says “ooh! it’s a lovely piece of cake!” and I have to quickly remind myself that it’s NOT cake, so I can enjoy it for what it is and not be sad that it’s not cake<\/a>. …This might be a personal problem.<\/em> It’s hearty, filling, lightly sweet, and by golly, you probably have the stuff to make it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\r\n
