Baked Oatmeal - Steel Cut
- 2 cups steel cut oats, soaked overnight
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces, chopped
- 1/3 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- scant 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries or 1 1/2 cups mixed berries
- Measure the 2 cups of steel cut oats into a container and cover with water. Place them in the fridge to soak overnight and soften a bit (I have let them soak for a day or two before and it doesn't change anything). SHORT ON TIME - you can use 2 cups old fashioned oats instead for an even swap.
- Preheat the oven to 375u0b0F with a rack in the top third of the oven. Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray. You can also use a 8-inch square pan if you prefer.
- Drain the water off the oats and let them sit in a colander for a bit to get all the water off.
- Arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle two-thirds of the berries over the top.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, half the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cover the fruit with the oat mixture.
- In the same mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, milk, egg, coconut oil, and the vanilla.
- Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple thwacks on the countertop to make sure the milk moves through the oats. Scatter the remaining berries and remaining walnuts across the top.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is nicely golden and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter before serving. Serve with vanilla or honey yogurt as a topping.
