Berry Baked Oatmeal
SERVES: 8-10
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) vegan butter, plus more for greasing the baking dish
- 2 cups steel-cut oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, or swap for cardamom for a twist)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 scoop Sunwarrior Organic Super Reds powder
- 5 cups boiling water
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups mixed red berries (raspberries, strawberries, cranberries; fresh or frozen)
- Optional: 1 small apple, chopped, for extra texture
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F and place rack in the center. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large pot, melt the butter. Stir in the steel-cut oats and toast over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cinnamon, nutmeg (or cardamom), baking powder, salt, and Sunwarrior Reds powder. Stir well for another minute to evenly distribute the reds powder.
- Mix in the maple syrup.
- Carefully pour in the boiling water, stirring to combine. Stir in the coconut cream and vanilla extract.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Gently fold in the red berries (and apple, if using). The berries will mostly stay near the surface as it bakes.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until the oatmeal is set but still tender in the center.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve it warm with a drizzle of coconut cream or a splash of coconut milk, and top it with a few fresh berries for a little extra pop. Whether you’re making it for yourself to save for leftovers or sharing it with loved ones around the table, this dish is sure to brighten your day.
