1/9/2012 Breakfast Baked Strawberry Oatmeal

Not the best photo should have taken one in the baking dish!

Ingredients:
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
½ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

¼ cup maple syrup

1 cup milk

1 large egg, fully beaten

2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cup strawberries (I used fresh)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375˚ F.  
2. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.  
3. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.  
4. Stir with a fork to combine.  
5. In a measuring cup, combine the maple syrup, milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.  
6. Spread all of the sliced berries in a single layer over the bottom of the baking dish.  
7. Sprinkle the dry oat mixture over the fruit in an even layer.  
8. Pour the liquid ingredients evenly over the oats.    
9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is browned and the oats have set.  
10. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Happy Eating,
