Cherry Baked Oatmeal Food

CHERRY BAKED OATMEAL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• If desired, roughly chop the dried cherries. In a large bowl, mix the cherries, pecans, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and kosher salt.
• Grease an 8- or 9-inch square pan and pour in the oat and cherry mixture.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg (if using). Mix in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats, and mix to combine if necessary.
• Over the top of the oats, drizzle the melted butter or coconut oil. (If desired, add a few more cherries to the top for presentation.)
• Bake 35 to 45 minutes until the top is nicely golden and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• To serve, cut into pieces. If desired, top with a drizzle of milk and extra maple syrup. Store leftovers refrigerated.

BERRY-OATMEAL BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish or 8-inch square baking pan with the butter.
• For the oatmeal: Stir together the oats, sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the almond milk, egg, vanilla and almond extract in a medium bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the oat mixture and stir well to combine.
• For the topping: Stir together the almonds, oats, sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
• To assemble: Pour the oatmeal into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the berries (including any juices) over the oatmeal. Sprinkle with the topping. Bake until lightly browned and just set, about 50 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt or a splash of milk if using.

CHERRY-ALMOND BAKED OATMEAL

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 9x7 casserole dish (can use 9x9 dish or the ramekins) with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In large bowl, combine first 7 ingredients. Stir well & pour evenly into prepared dish or ramekins. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine milk, brown sugar & butter to a boil. Watch closely, as it will foam up & boil over very quickly.
• When the mixture boils, remove from heat & stir in the almond extract.
• Pour boiling mixture over dry ingredients in casserole dish or ramekins. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
• Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until the milk is absorbed & oats are tender. Timing will vary by a few minutes depending on the size of your dish or ramekins.
• Can be served with milk, butter or syrup, but my family prefers to eat it plain.
