Put a new spin on breakfast with this delicious strawberry baked oatmeal. Light and satisfying, this dish becomes the perfect spring and summer equivalent to winter's oatmeal bowl. It's so good, that it can become a great dessert treat when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, cut into quarters
- 1/4-1/2 tsp honey
- 1 cup uncooked quick oats (gluten-free preferred)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup I.M. Healthy Original Creamy SoyNut Butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In bottom on 8x8 or 9x9 pan, make a single layer of strawberries and drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of honey over them.
- Bake strawberries for 5 minutes, then remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, mix up oatmeal and baking powder; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together IM Healthy SoyNut Butter (works best if you soften it in microwave beforehand), honey, egg, milk and vanilla.
- Sprinkle the dry oat mixture evenly over strawberries, then evenly pour the wet mixture on top.
- Drizzle with extra honey and a bit of cinnamon, if preferred.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top and the oatmeal is set.
- NOTE: You can use any kind of fruit: peaches, bananas, apples, blueberries, plums, nectarines, etc. Cinnamon would be a complementary spice to these fruits; add approximately 1 tsp to the oat mixture as well as a sprinkling on the initial fruit and honey layer. Also, fresh fruit are best versus frozen fruit. Otherwise, the oatmeal will be too soggy.
