Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla flavoring
- 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Toppings
- 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen raspberries (divided, do not thaw if using frozen)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Optional Toppings
- Greek yogurt
- Almond butter
- Granola
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, plain Greek yogurt, melted butter, vanilla flavoring, and almond flavoring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt until they are evenly incorporated into the wet ingredients.
- Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen raspberries, being careful not to crush them, reserving the remaining raspberries for the topping.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top with the remaining raspberries, sliced almonds, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a crispy, sweet crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or topped with your choice of Greek yogurt, almond butter, granola, or maple syrup for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen raspberries directly without thawing to prevent the mixture from becoming too watery.
- Melted butter can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For added texture and nutrition, consider adding nuts or seeds to the mixture before baking.
