Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) rolled oats
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (150 g) diced strawberries
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped nuts (optional, for crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by setting the temperature to 375°F and coating an 8×8-inch baking vessel with a light protective layer to prevent sticking.
- Create a dry foundation by thoroughly blending rolled oats, rising agent, warm spice, and mineral crystals in a spacious mixing container.
- Craft a liquid harmony by vigorously whisking mashed tropical fruit, creamy white liquid, protein-rich eggs, golden tree nectar, and aromatic extract in a separate vessel.
- Merge the dry and liquid components, stirring until a uniform consistency emerges, then tenderly incorporate ruby-red berry chunks and optional crunchy tree kernels.
- Transfer the voluminous mixture into the prepared baking receptacle, ensuring an even distribution that promises consistent cooking.
- Slide the dish into the heated oven, allowing it to transform for 30-35 minutes until the surface achieves a caramelized golden complexion and the interior sets with a firm yet tender texture.
- Extract from the oven and permit a brief resting period to stabilize the structure, then slice into delectable portions.
- Enjoy immediately while warm or refrigerate for convenient future nourishment, maintaining its delightful essence for several days.
Notes
- Boost the protein content by adding a scoop of protein powder or mixing in Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients for a more filling breakfast.
- Make it gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats, which are perfect for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting maple syrup or using alternative natural sweeteners like honey or agave for different flavor profiles.
- Prevent fruit from sinking by lightly coating strawberry pieces in a tiny bit of flour before folding into the mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the baked oatmeal.
