This is a recipe that my dear friend Sarah Kouba at Bread and Honey shared with me and I just had to pass it on. It is always devoured with delight at our gatherings along with tea.
It really can be enjoyed anytime of day, breakfast, a snack or over tea!
INGREDIENTS
2-1/2 c. oats
1-3/4c. buttermilk*
1/2 c. coconut oil
4 eggs
1/2 c.sugar, maple syrup or honey (I use raw honey)
1tsp. baking powder
1/2tsp. salt
2tsp. Cinnamon (I don't use this if using a different fruit ie. strawberries, blueberries etc)
2tsp vanilla
2c. raisins**
2c. chopped apples or pears**
Optional: 2c chopped nuts mixed in or sprinkle on top.
METHOD
Soak oats and buttermilk covered on the kitchen counter overnight. In the morning, beat oil, sugar and eggs until glossy. Add baking powder, salt, cinnamon and vanilla; beat. Stir in oats, raisins and chopped apples/pears. Pour into 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes (Sarah I generally find in needs 25-30 minutes, but 20 is what the original recipe states)
*Sarah's notes!
Instead of buttermilk, use the same quantity of coconut milk plus 1-2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Also, you can use as little as 1/4 cups of honey.
** Rosie's notes!
You can really substitute the raisins/apples for any fruit/nut combo you fancy. I loved it with strawberries and blueberries. Josh wasn't a fan of the texture so I substituted for:
1 cup of dried cranberries
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 cup of sliced almonds
You can see I have used less fruit etc than the original recipe as a personal preference, but you are welcome to double my quantities if you would like!
Strawberries! I've never tried it with those but I know I would love it. I am actually going to be making baked oatmeal tonight-- except with dairy for the first time ever! I hope it works. I'm so glad you like this version but I still owe you a million thanks for introducing me to baked oatmeal in the first place. :)
