So good after a run!
What? Two recipes in the span of a month? Don’t worry, my food blogging talents are severely limited, so you won’t see this too often. But this is a great recipe that everyone around here enjoys.
Both my kids are pretty much on their own when it comes to making breakfast. There’s always a parent here with them, but we do expect them to put their own breakfasts together. For the most part, they make decent choices, too. As much as I love that they make their own breakfasts, however, sometimes a mom wants to be a mom to her kids, which is where baked oatmeal comes in. Like most times, I can’t remember where I got this recipe, but here it is:
- 2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts (chopped)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries
Preheat oven to 375. Grease 8 x 8 inch baking pan.
In a bowl, mix together oats, half the walnuts, baking powder, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk together maple syrup, milk, egg and vanilla.
Arrange bananas in bottom of pan in a single layer. Sprinkle two-thirds of berries on top. Cover fruit with oat mixture and then drizzle milk mixture on top. Scatter remaining berries and nuts on top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until top is golden brown.
I have played with the nuts and fruits in this recipe and have liked a variety of combinations. The beauty of this recipe is that you can assemble it the night before and then just pull it from the fridge and pop it in the oven. I love knowing that my kids are heading out with a warm, nutritious breakfast in their bellies. And maybe, just maybe, their running mom enjoys the leftovers once they’re gone…
Hope you like it.
Baked oatmeal is one of my favorites! It’s always nice to have something ready in the morning too when things are crazy or I’m starving after a run. Thanks for posting!

I just saw a similar recipe in an old Reader’s Digest on Monday night and was wondering if it would taste good. Glad it got your approval. I will make it! Thanks for sharing.

Oh that sounds yummy! With a milk and egg allergy in this house, my breakfast options are severely limited
I might have to make this one for one of the runner get togethers that happen around here from time to time though!

Just yesterday I was browing around for a recipe for bars or oatmeal of sorts to use up a bunch of strawberries. Perfect timing! Thank you

Oh man, this just made my stomach growl! We love baked oatmeal too, although I probably only make it once a month at most. Time to go eat breakfast!

I love recipe posts! Especially healthful ones that I can assemble then bake while the kiddos and I get ready for the day. Thanks for sharing!

That looks like a healthier version of a fruit crisp – I will have to try it. I’m not a huge fan of regular oatmeal (texture) but baking it would help!

Yum oatmeal can be so good If we only realize how versatile it is!

This is similar to what we call a crisp – we mix oats, nuts, chia seeds, flaxmeal and oil and pour it over mixed frozen fruit, pop it into the oven for 30 minutes. The whole family loves it!

Mmmmmmm. This looks so good! I love recipes you can make the night before and then just bake in the morning. I will be trying this one for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Kristen @ Happy Running Mama recently posted..What goes up must come down
Looks like something I would eat, but probably not my kids. Not sure how they ended up so picky, but they always say “Eww” when I’m eating oatmeal.

Sounds delicious! Other than cookies, I have limited, ok no experience baking oats…unless you count a crumble. I need to expand my horizons.

I love baked oatmeal!

This looks wonderful and looks like something I might actually be able to eat. I am not a fan of traditional oatmeal (bad memories from eating it while sick as a kid, that stuff scars you for life).

Indeed! My stomachs are growling with approval.

I have tried a few baked oatmeal recipes and they just have not come out right. I don’t think i had the right oatmeal to milk ratio. Plus I usually make & bake them at night and reheat in the AM. I will have to try this one

I had some baked oatmeal at a brunch a few weeks ago and it was sooooo good. This combo looks exceptionally delicious (and probably healthier than the one I had – haha!).

Yup, I pinned this recipe for later! I wonder how it’d do without the egg… I think I’ll give it a go!

That looks and sounds amazing. I’m going to have to try it once it gets a little cooler.

Oh yay! I was hoping you would share this recipe – the photo you posted on IG looked so delicious!
Is it bad that I look forward to the day when the boys are old enough to make their own breakfasts? Ryan isn’t even old enough to eat food yet – HAHA =)
