What is baked oatmeal?

Baked oatmeal is essentially an oatmeal casserole! It combines oats, milk of choice, flavoring and eggs with hands-off baking in the oven!

This post was made in partnership with Carrington Farms! If you haven’t heard of this brand before, Carrington Farms makes delicious, ethically sourced, non-genetically modified products made from simple, clean, and real ingredients that are easy to incorporate into every lifestyle. Their innovation-forward and family-centric company is dedicated to providing the highest quality and most accessible natural foods for anyone looking to make better health choices.

If you take a look at their website, they offer so many natural products that make managing healthy habits easy. In our Chocolate Peppermint Baked Oatmeal recipe we are using unflavored Organic Liquid Coconut Cooking Oil that helps keep a great texture and moisture level. It’s an alternative to traditional oils, that remains liquid all the time but still retains all the benefits of traditional coconut oil, like MCTs (which are utilized by the body for energy production and can aid in calorie burning) but it doesn’t taste like coconut! It’s totally neutral in flavor and this is key for me because I only like tasting the coconut flavor in food that is supposed to taste like coconut!

How do you serve baked oatmeal?

There are a few ways you can serve baked oatmeal, besides digging right in with a spoon! You can scoop out a serving into a bowl and add a little extra milk of choice, like a warm cereal. You can slice it and eat is as warm or cold. This makes it a great meal prep options as you can bake it and eat some immediately and pack the rest away for later.

1x2x3x

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8" x 8" oven-safe dish. If desired, prepare a parchment sling by cutting out a piece of parchment paper slightly longer than the pan and placing it inside.
• In a large bowl add eggs and whisk to combine. Then almond milk, maple syrup, apple sauce, Carrington Farms Organic Coconut Cooking Oil, and vanilla and peppermint extract and whisk to fully combine.
