Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk cashew, oat, or soy
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup banana mashed
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 ¾ cups berries mixed

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Pour in oats and mix by hand until combined. Stir in berries, being careful not to overmix.3 cups rolled oats, 1 ¾ cups berries, ½ cup pecans
- Spray a 7x11 or 9x9-inch (check this) baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the oatmeal batter. Spread it out evenly into the pan. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, making sure to press them into the oatmeal slightly.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the middle is almost set. For drier oatmeal, cook for 5-10 minutes more.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting in. Serve with butter, additional maple syrup, or yogurt. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Pan size: If using a 9 x 13-inch pan, you’ll need to double the recipe and bake for 10-15 minutes longer.
- Muffins: If turning into muffins, fill each cavity to ¾ full and bake for 5-10 minutes less.
- Fruit: Cut the strawberries into tinier pieces so they disperse evenly and you get some in every bite.
- Oats: Use only old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats won't do as well.
- Nuts: Coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts add a lovely crunch and texture to the baked oatmeal.
- Syrup: If you haven't appeased your sweet tooth just yet, add a drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious treat!
