I don’t put nuts in the oatmeal, because Josh is allergic, but I had a jar of candied pecans on the counter so I added some to my bowl. SO yum! I highly recommend topping the baked oatmeal with candied pecans. You can also add an extra dash of cinnamon, sprinkle of brown sugar, raisins, dried cranberries, and an extra splash of milk. Feel free to jazz up your oatmeal however you like!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cups old fashioned oats or gluten-free oats
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cups milk of your choice
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly (or melted and cooled butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• Candied pecans, for topping the oatmeal, optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 square baking dish and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla.
• Pour the milk mixture over the oats and stir until combined. Add in the zucchini and stir again. Pour oat mixture into prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and oatmeal is set. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls and serve with candied pecans, if desired.

Notes

This baked oatmeal is great reheated in the microwave. I always add a splash of milk after reheating to liven it up. This recipe can easily be doubled for a 9×13 pan. Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free. Other topping ideas-brown sugar, cinnamon, dried cranberries, or raisins.
