Ingredients

2 cups Natural Grocers® Brand Bulk Organic Rolled Oats

2 teaspoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Baking Powder

3⁄4 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt

1⁄4 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Nutmeg

1 3⁄4 cups organic milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy works)

1⁄3 cup Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup, plus extra for serving

2 large eggs or flax eggs or 2 medium ripe organic bananas

3 tablespoons melted Natural Grocers Brand Organic Plant-Based Buttery Spread or Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (if using coconut oil, let it cool slightly after melting)

1 pint fresh organic blueberries or 1 (12-ounce package) Natural Grocers Brand Organic Frozen Blueberries, or 2 1/2 cups of your preferred berry/fruit, chopped if necessary

1⁄4 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Black Chia Seeds, optional

1⁄4 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Hemp Seeds, optional

1⁄4 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Sliced Almonds, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. If you are using any of the optional ingredients, add them now.
In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, and half of the melted buttery spread or coconut oil. Note: If using coconut oil, it may solidify if the milk is cold. This is okay, it will melt again while baking. If using bananas instead of eggs, mash the bananas with a fork first and then add the remaining ingredients.
Reserve about ½ cup of the berries for topping the baked oatmeal, then add the rest to the dry oat mixture (no need to defrost if the berries are frozen). Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the baking dish. Slowly pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture. Gently shake the baking dish to make sure the milk moves down through the oats, then gently pat down any dry oats resting on top.
Scatter the remaining berries across the top. If you desire extra sweetness, drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup on top.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Frozen berries may extend the baking time to 45 minutes and using mashed banana instead of eggs will reduce the baking time to approximately 35 minutes. Bake until the top is golden. Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining melted buttery spread on the top before serving. If you’d like, serve with extra maple syrup, milk, cream, or yogurt.
This baked oatmeal is best served warm, but it is also good at room temperature or chilled. It will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to five days. If desired, reheat individual portions.
