Baked Oatmeal with Cranberries and Walnuts

Baked OatmealA weekend breakfast to warm up and fill up before heading out on an extremely cold Canadian morning.  This baked oatmeal is not meant to be a bar you pick up and eat with your hands.  You'll want to put it in a dish.  Sit, relax and enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee or tea. And if you like, pour a little soy milk over top, which is how my husband eats it.  I think this has just the right amount of sweetness, but you can pass the maple syrup or agave nectar around the table for those who may like it a little sweeter.

This is a great dish to serve for brunch and can be scaled up for more servings. 

Baked Oatmeal with Cranberries and Walnuts

This recipe is loosely based on the Baked Oatmeal recipe from Cooking Light.

1 3/4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

2 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking)

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375F.  Lightly coat a 7"x9" or 8"x8" baking pan with non-stick spray. 

Combine the milk, applesauce and flax seed and set aside.  In a separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients, stir in wet mix then pour into prepared pan.  Bake for 35-40 minutes.  Serve warm.

This makes enough for about 6 servings, or 4 for heartier appetites.

That's a nice way to change up everyday oatmeal :-)

Thanks Sanja and Michelle!

We've been on a baked oatmeal kick ever since I posted this, making many variations, and having it in the fridge to reheat when we want. Very nice to have a hot breakfast without having to cook it first thing in the morning!

I'm not a HUGE fan of oatmeal. But I think I might become one now. This dish looks delicious.

Thanks Tenesha!

For anyone that might have some (soy)nog to use up, try it in the recipe in place of the almond milk. Quite tasty - and the flavor reminded me a bit of pumpkin pie. Thinking of trying a pumpkin variation next with raisins and spices (and pumpkin in oatmeal is delicious). I could also see a banana variation working well, using mashed overripe banana to substitute for the applesauce.

I finally got around to trying this recipe and wanted to tell you the kids all LOVED it. (They also like to pour milk over top! smilies/cheesy.gif) I will have to double the batch next time so there are leftovers for the next morning!

This is my favorite breakfast lately! For the last month I have been making a pan on the weekend and eating leftovers before work. I tried the leftovers cold last week, instead of reheating, and loved it even more that way, which is perfect on the hot mornings we have been waking up to. Thank you for sharing this easy, yummy, healthy recipe. I love your site!

This recipe is great! I've made it several times and have experimented with other additions like toasted sunflower seeds, dried cherries, apples, and very ripe bananas that needed to get used up. GREAT RECIPE!!!
