0.3 -> - You guys are gonna go head over heels
2.67 -> for this Berry Baked Oatmeal recipe.
4.68 -> If you love oats for breakfast,
6.24 -> but want a new spin on a bowl of oatmeal
8.55 -> or a jar of overnight oats,
10.2 -> let me introduce you to the
concept of baked oatmeal,
13.08 -> which is essentially
like eating bread pudding
15.6 -> for breakfast, except it's healthy.
17.91 -> But the best part is that baked oatmeal
19.65 -> is super easy to make
and it's budget friendly
22.14 -> when you use frozen berries
like I'm gonna show you today.
25.17 -> The edges and topping of baked
oatmeal are a bit crispy,
27.84 -> but the inside is soft and
squishy in the best way possible.
31.47 -> I love to make this recipe
when my family comes to visit,
34.11 -> and I've got a peaches and
cream version in my cookbook,
36.84 -> which is also amazing.
39.15 -> But let me show you how to
make this deliciously sweet
42.09 -> berry version today.
44.49 -> To get started, preheat your
oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
48.48 -> or 190 degrees Celsius,
50.55 -> and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
53.55 -> You can use butter or
oil, like coconut oil,
56.01 -> depending on if you'd like
to make the recipe dairy free
58.32 -> or not.
59.153 -> And I just use a paper towel
60.87 -> to make sure that the
baking dish is well coated.
63.84 -> Like many of my baking recipes,
65.46 -> you'll mix the wet and dry
ingredients separately,
67.83 -> and then combine them together.
69.69 -> So for the dry ingredients,
71.16 -> you'll start with 2 cups of
old-fashioned rolled oats,
73.92 -> and I'm using certified gluten-free oats.
76.53 -> And once those are measured out,
78.06 -> you can add them to a large mixing bowl.
80.4 -> I also like a little crunch
factor in my baked oatmeal,
83.28 -> so to the oatmeal, you can add
a 1/2 cup of sliced almonds,
87 -> though if you have another nut you prefer,
88.8 -> go ahead and swap that in.
90.81 -> For a little sweet warming flavor,
92.79 -> add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon,
95.25 -> and then add 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda
97.8 -> and 1/2 a teaspoon of kosher salt.
100.2 -> Stir the dry ingredients together
101.7 -> until they're well combined,
102.9 -> and then set this bowl
off to the side for now.
107.73 -> In another mixing bowl,
108.84 -> you'll mix together the wet ingredients,
110.85 -> and that includes 1 3/4
quarters cup of milk,
113.43 -> and you can use dairy or dairy free,
116.28 -> a 1/4 cup of honey or maple
syrup to lightly sweeten it,
119.94 -> two large eggs,
120.99 -> which are the binders that turn
122.82 -> what would otherwise be
a simple oatmeal recipe
125.85 -> into a baked oatmeal breakfast casserole.
129.06 -> 2 tablespoons of melted
butter or coconut oil,
131.94 -> it's up to you.
133.14 -> And 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
136.11 -> Whisk that all together
until it's lightly frothy,
138.66 -> and then pour these what
ingredients into the bowl
141.12 -> that has your dry ingredients.
143.128 -> (bright music)
157.59 -> All right, now it's time for the berries.
159.63 -> You'll need 2 1/2 cups
of frozen mixed berries,
162.54 -> and I love frozen berries
for a couple of reasons.
165.48 -> First, they're budget friendly.
167.43 -> Second, they're easy to find
168.87 -> during an off-season like winter.
171.03 -> And third, I love how the
frozen berries become extra soft
174.54 -> and mushy as they're baked,
even more so than fresh berries.
178.68 -> But you could, of course,
use fresh berries as well
180.69 -> in this recipe, if they're in season,
182.49 -> or you can find them
easily in your market.
185.13 -> So add the berries to your bowl
186.57 -> and then stir all of that together.
188.46 -> Your milk may turn a bluish
purple from the berries,
191.79 -> but that's totally fine,
193.14 -> and it just means that that berry goodness
195.36 -> is getting mixed throughout.
197.13 -> Pour this whole bowl of
ingredients into your baking dish
199.74 -> and then use a spoon or
spatula to spread it throughout
202.68 -> and sort of flatten the ingredients down,
204.96 -> making sure that the oats
are nestled really good
207.33 -> in the liquid.
208.59 -> Now, you don't have to do this part,
210.57 -> but if you're planning to
serve this up for a brunch
212.97 -> or family gathering,
214.29 -> I like to dot the top
with a few extra berries
216.78 -> and sliced almonds.
218.13 -> It just gives a better nod
219.57 -> to what your family and
friends will find inside
221.91 -> this baked oatmeal recipe
when you slice into it
224.49 -> and serve it up.
226.11 -> I guess it's sort of like garnishing
227.61 -> one of my savory recipes
229.11 -> with a little sprinkling of herbs on top,
231.6 -> except in this case, it's
berries and sliced almonds.
235.14 -> Bake the oatmeal for
about 40 to 45 minutes
237.57 -> or until it's set,
238.86 -> and that just means that
it's no longer liquidy,
241.02 -> and the oatmeal has plumped up
242.46 -> from absorbing the wet ingredients
244.53 -> and the edges are slightly golden.
246.99 -> All ovens bake a bit differently,
248.67 -> so do check on it at the 40-minute mark,
251.13 -> but it might still take
a few more minutes.
254.22 -> When you remove it from the
oven, it's gonna smell amazing
257.55 -> with that sweet cinnamony flavor
259.32 -> wafting through your kitchen.
260.88 -> And if you have kiddos,
262.32 -> I guarantee you that they'll come running.
264.69 -> I love how the berries on top
266.13 -> sort of look like they're
oozing into the oatmeal
268.35 -> and then you've got those
crunchy little bits of almond.
271.14 -> You guys, this recipe is so
good and it's so versatile.
275.34 -> As I mentioned at the beginning,
276.54 -> I have a peaches and cream version
278.37 -> of it in the cookbook,
which is also amazing,
281.07 -> but this berry version is the
one that I make most often
283.77 -> because I always have
frozen berries on hand.
286.65 -> If you've watched my
anti-inflammatory foods video,
289.14 -> you know I'm a big fan of berries
290.79 -> and I sneak them into
recipes wherever possible.
294.18 -> To serve it up, just scoop
out a portion with a spatula
296.88 -> or large spoon, and place it in a bowl.
299.49 -> You can eat it plain
while it's warm and soft
301.77 -> straight from the oven,
303.03 -> or dollop a few spoonfuls of
your favorite yogurt on top
305.97 -> whether it's dairy or dairy free,
307.98 -> to amp up the protein
309.18 -> and really drive those
breakfast vibes home.
312.21 -> It should also go without saying,
313.92 -> because you guys know me,
315.42 -> but this recipe is also
perfect for meal prep.
318.21 -> You can bake it up,
319.23 -> portion it out into individual containers
321.36 -> or store in one large container,
323.28 -> and then reheat it throughout the week.
325.98 -> I hope you enjoyed this new recipe video.
327.96 -> And if you did,
328.793 -> make sure to give it a thumbs up.
330.15 -> Share it with your family and friends
331.47 -> who love a good, hearty,
healthy breakfast,
334.5 -> and I will see you
again in the next video.
337.47 -> (bright music)
