I recently discovered this awesome breakfast idea
that is perfect for people on the go.
It's called baked oatmeal and not only
is it super delicious, it's also super nutritious,
and super easy to make.
What could be better than that?
Today I'm going to show you the basic recipe
for baked oatmeal and then show you
how to top it three delicious ways.
For this wonderful breakfast treat,
we're going to start by mixing our dry ingredients.
Now we are starting with rolled oats.
You don't wanna use instant oats or quick oats,
you wanna use good old fashioned rolled oats.
To that, we are going to add some baking powder for lift.
A little bit of salt and some brown sugar.
The greatest part about this recipe is that you can add
as much or as little sugar as you like.
It really is totally up to you.
We're going to whisk together our dry ingredients
really, really well and them set them aside.
In a second smaller bowl, we're going to mix together
our wet ingredients.
So we're starting with some eggs and some milk,
some applesauce, and just a little bit of melted butter.
We're going to add a little splash of vanilla for flavor
and that's it.
Once the two of these are combined,
we're gonna scoop these into a muffin tin.
I've lined my muffin tin with some cupcake liners
to make these extra portable, but I will warn you
they do tend to stick, so you wanna make sure
you're giving them a good spritz with cooking spray
before you start filling.
Once you filled your muffin tin, you could pretty much
add whatever type of flavors you want.
Today I'm doing some blueberry coconut,
some chocolate chips and crushed almonds,
and finally, some cranberries and crushed pistachios.
How delicious does that sound?
Into the oven these go at 375 for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, they are soft and chewy
and ready to eat.
The best part about these is that they can be stored
in your refrigerator for three or four days
or in your freezer for up to six months,
so they are the perfect breakfast on the go.
I hope you'll give these delicious baked oatmeals a try
and let me know how they turn out for you.
