    Strawberry Baked Oatmeal

    I was always an oatmeal kid. 

    Not the healthy kind, I confess. But I loved to grab those instant oatmeal packets and decide what flavor I was going to make that day. Strawberries and cream was my favorite and the inspiration for this strawberry baked oatmeal.

    OatsVegan Strawberry Baked Oatmeal Ingredients

    The simplicity of baked oatmeal only adds to its comfort. Making it vegan is also incredibly easy. A flaxseed egg is used in place of a chicken's egg and almond milk (or a non-dairy milk of your choice) subs well for cow's milk.

    Here's what you'll need:

    • Gluten-free oats
    • Ground flaxseed
    • Unsweetened almond milk
    • Coconut oil
    • Maple syrup
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Freeze-dried or fresh strawberries
    • Pure vanilla extract
    • Raw pecans (optional)

    Strawberry Baked OatmealNow, I realize posting a strawberry recipe in the middle of January is nowhere near strawberry season.

    But, I found that in using freeze-dried strawberries, they not only are a great alternative to out-of-season berries, but they add a wonderful tartness and extra sweetness.

    Strawberries, oats, and milkCan I use fresh berries in this baked oatmeal? You can certainly use fresh strawberries in this recipe. I prefer it with the freeze-dried strawberries as they add an extra something special to the flavor. 

    Where do you buy freeze-dried strawberries? Many grocery stores carry freeze-dried berries including Whole Foods, health food stores, Trader Joe's, and Amazon.

    Serving Baked Oatmeal

    Dishing up your strawberry oatmeal bake comes down to personal preference, but here are a few suggestions:

    • Serve with extra non-dairy milk
    • Drizzle maple syrup on top
    • Sprinkle with cinnamon
    • Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream

    Have leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Add a little almond milk to your oatmeal before reheating.
