I love picking fresh fruit with my kids, and then turning some strawberries into baked oatmeal makes for a filling, nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups oats Not quick oats. If you are gluten free, be sure your oats say gluten free – like the Bob’s Red Mill GF oats.
  • Juice of half lemon
  • 1 cup crispy nuts chopped (Almonds, pecans, brazil nuts – whatever you have! I just buzz them up in the food processor. If you don’t have crispy nuts made up – just buzz up some raw nuts and put them in to soak with your oats over night. IF YOU ARE NUT FREE just use sunflower seeds and/or pumpkin seeds)
  • ½ cup coconut shreds
  • 2 TB flax meal if you can handle eggs you can use 2 eggs instead
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-4 TB honey or pure maple syrup sucanat or pure cane sugar would work too
  • 2 TB melted coconut oil butter would work too
  • 1 cup pureed strawberries
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries – whatever size you want! I just quickly used a pairing knife in hand and chunked them up into the bowl! Not perfect at all!
  • Drizzle whole yogurt pure maple syrup, or raw honey over the top if desired!

Instructions

  • The night before you want to make the baked oatmeal, put the oats and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and fill with filtered water just to cover the oats. Set the bowl in a warm spot in your kitchen 8-12 hours. This “soaking” process makes the oats easier to digest.
  • The next morning, dump the oat mixture in a strainer to drain out the extra liquid.
  • While the oats are draining in the sink, preheat your oven to 375, and get the rest of the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the drained oats to the mixing bowl and combine well.
  • Pour the batter into a small, buttered baking dish. Use coconut oil for the dish if you are dairy free.
  • Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Let it rest 5-10 minutes before cutting.
