The weathers taken a turn for the worst again, there’s snow in Devon today. Seriously weather you need to calm down… its May! One good thing about this weather, it’s a good excuse for me to try to do my own baked oatmeal recipe with lots of seeds and juicy berries. I’ve seen a lot of baked oatmeal recipes over the web and have been wanting to try my own for a while now. It’s such a simple lil’ comforting recipe, perfect for a lazy morning, whack it in the oven and climb back into bed for another 20 minutes or so. This is the perfect amount for two hungry peeps, just scoop into bowls with some fresh fruit and a splash of almond milk (extra maple syrup poured on top if your that way inclined).
Ingredients:
1 cup of jumbo organic whole grain oats (or just regular rolled oats will be fine)
2 tbsp whole flaxseeds/linseeds
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
4-6 tbsp unrefined soft bark brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch o’ salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
pinch of ground ginger
1 cup of almond milk
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
2 tbsp maple syrup (or a maple-carob blend will work fine)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mixed frozen berries
Method:
Preheat the oven to 375f/190c and grease a 7″ round ceramic baking dish (or Pyrex/other kind of baking dish). Mix the oats, whole flaxseed, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, soft dark brown sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and ginger in a mixing bowl then grab a smaller bowl and whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, ground flax and the vanilla extract and let sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly. Combine the wet into the dry and mix together well. Pour half of the mixture into the bottom of the dish and layer on half of the berries, spoon over the second half of the mixture and gently press in the remaining berries, top with extra seeds if desired. Pop the dish on a baking sheet just incase it bubbles over, also sometimes it can be difficult to grab small dishes out of the oven, and this helps! Bake for about 35 minutes, until the top is crisp.
This looks luscious! Thanks for giving me something new and exciting to make for breakfast 🙂
I hope you like it! I have lotsa syrup over it (I do with regular oatmeal too!) I bet it would be lush with vegan vanilla yogurt and berries, yum! Im making it again tomorrow 🙂
Nice! I finally broke the bank and bought some real maple syrup last week so I’ll have to try it out with this recipe 🙂
It is a bit of a bank breaker isn’t it, like£6 a bottle D: but worth it as a treat!
I made your baked oatmeal for breakfast this morning and loved it! I reduced the sugar a tad (I’m on a diet… BOO) and switched out the pumpkin seeds for sunflower seeds, because that’s what I had on hand. It turned out great! Thanks again for the recipe 🙂
Thank you for giving it a go 🙂
Gorgeous! Lush is the word. Please tell me you meant dark brown sugar, not bark brown. I couldn’t cope with buying yet another type of sugar!
I always make silly typos… lol! Yeap I meant dark brown! HA!
Ok that’s 6 baked oatmeal recipes in my RSS Feed Reader this morning…obviously the newest trend? Yours is the most gorgeous looking though :). Kudos on making baked oatmeal that you could make house bricks out of into something gorgeous 🙂
Yeah I,ve seen it alot too! My stomach seemed to grumble whenever I saw baked oatmeal so I had to give it a go!
Yours IS the most beautiful version that I have seen, you certainly gave it the “Willow Harvey” touch 🙂
Oh. My. That just looks like a great big breakfast hug. Yes please.
Btw, where in England are you as you talk about Devon here but your twitter says Norfolk? Hope you don’t mind me asking! 🙂 Poppy
Im in norfolk, but on the news it said its snowing in Devon, which is crazy!
What!!! Omg, that’s crazy! It’s been raining here in Kent but no snow!
I bet kent is a nice place to be rain or shine!
It depends where you are in Kent, it has both extremes!!
This looks lush. Perfect for breakfast or as a dessert 🙂 Gonna wait till I get back to Scotland to try this one. Japanese ovens just aren’t the same…
The British weather. What’s going on? Bet it’s really messing with everyone’s garden 😦
Yeah it got all sunny so we planted peppers and all sorts! Then this crazy weather came along…. sigh!
This looks amazing! Perfect for our weather at the moment.
I’m definitely trying this on the weekend.
Thanks Alexander 🙂
Let me know how it goes, I’m making it again today! But maybe with coconut? Today seems to be a coconut day to me….
Everyday should be coconut day. 😉
It should indeed! 😀
That looks incredible…
Thank you! I’m making another dish full for breakfast today, but with coconut, raspberries and cherries!
So colouful! Admittedly my baked oatmeals have been somewhat of a failure thus far, but after this, I feel the tides may turn.
Sad times! I hope this works out better for you 🙂
I am all over this one! Soooo delish and comforting! Sorry about the continued winter weather :-(.
Silly England..
Whoooa! So pretty and scrumptious looking!!
Thank you! 🙂
Phenomenal! Can’t wait to try it.
