For me, nothing says fall like a bowl of something that has comfort food written all over it. If that something has cinnamon in it, it’s even better. Cool, brisk mornings are just begging for something to warm you from the inside out. Start with a cup of cinnamon tea while this bakes. And, follow that up with this simple and delicious baked oatmeal. It’s warm, hearty, and super satisfying.
This dish requires just a minute of prep. And, while it bakes. You can prepare for your day. By the time you’re ready to confront the new day, it’s breakfast time.
If you don’t have strawberries, throw on a few slices of apple or pear.
Baked Oatmeal
(With Coconut, Raisins, & Strawberries)
serves 2 generously
1 cup thick, barely rolled oats
1 tsp vanilla
heaping 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup raisins
3-4 Tablespoons brown sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients listed above. For creamier oats add an extra 1/4 cup of milk (or water… or orange juice). Pour into a small buttered baking dish or pie pan. If desired, add sliced strawberries around the edges and a sprinkle or two of granola and/or extra oats on top.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes.
…or until it reaches your desired texture.
Let it bake longer for a crispier top with dense oats.
