Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup (90g) oatmeal
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 1 apple, chopped
- 1 banana, mashed
Nuts and Sweeteners:
- 60 grams walnuts, chopped
- Sweetener of choice, to taste
Flavoring:
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanillin
Instructions
- Soak rolled oats in milk for 10 minutes, allowing liquid absorption and softening of grains.
- Incorporate mashed bananas, diced apples, sweetener, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs into the soaked oats, mixing thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gently fold chopped walnuts into the mixture, ensuring uniform dispersion for consistent crunch and flavor in each bite.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 40 minutes, monitoring until the top turns golden brown and the center sets completely.
- Remove from the oven and allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly, which helps it firm up and makes cutting easier.
- Serve warm, optionally garnishing with a dollop of yogurt, drizzle of honey, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavor profile.
- For optimal texture and taste, consume within 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, reheating gently before serving.
Notes
- Toast walnuts lightly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a deeper, more robust crunch.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like oat or hemp milk to create unique flavor profiles and accommodate various dietary needs.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness and elevate the overall taste complexity of the baked oatmeal.
- Customize the recipe by swapping fruits seasonally, using fresh berries in summer or poached pears in winter for variety and excitement.
