Baked Strawberry Oatmeal

Hi, Everybody! As promised, here is my Baked Strawberry Oatmeal recipe! I LOVE baked oatmeal for breakfast, and have tried to come up with different ways to make it, to keep it interesting! This only takes about a half hour or so to make (and that's including baking time!) so it's an easy thing to whip up for breakfast, or you can make it the night before and then heat it up in the morning. I used about a pint of strawberries in this recipe which may seem like a lot, but I love the burst of fresh flavor when you when you take a bite against the sweet, vanilla flavor of the oatmeal. If you are a fan of baked oatmeal, check out my other two recipes that I've posted previously: Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal and Baked Blueberry and Banana Oatmeal. They are both really good too! Here is today's recipe...

BAKED STRAWBERRY OATMEAL

*Makes 8 Servings*

YOU WILL NEED:
2 1/4 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups fat free milk
1 pint (16 oz) strawberries, sliced

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Preheat your oven to 375 deg F and grease your baking dish.

2. Next, in a little bowl, whisk together milk, egg and vanilla, pour into the oat mixture, and stir until all ingredients are combined. Slice your strawberries, and use half of them to cover the bottom of the baking dish evenly.

3. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish over the strawberries, then decorate the top with the remaining half of the strawberries and bake for 20 minutes, or until the center no longer jiggles.

Happy Baking, Everyone!
