Baked Oatmeal

I made some healthy adjustments to this recipe, and we love it!
    The night before…
  • 3 c rolled oats -not quick cook
  • 3/4 c sucanut or agave (we prefer sucanut to the agave. Firmer texture)
  • 2 t cinnamon
  • 1/3 c liquified coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 c plain yogurt or kefir (we make our own, and sometimes I use some of each)
  • In the morning...
  • 1 c almond milk
  • 2 eggs (or 2 T chia seeds plus 4 T water; let sit for 15+ minutes to gel-we have used both and they both work great!)
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 t sea salt
  • opt: add 1 apple chopped and 1/3 c raisin. We have also tried it with 1 sliced banana, diced peaches, diced strawberries, frozen mixed berries... Be creative!
Instructions
    The night before…
  1. Combine the night before ingredients and mix well.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap or towel.
  3. Leave on the counter overnight.
  4. In the morning…
  5. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
  6. Pour into greased glass baking dish-we do one that is between square and 9x13.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes or until it looks a little browned around the edges.
