We are in the middle of a cool spell that is very unusual for August. It seemed the perfect morning to try an idea for a simple individual baked oatmeal that I have been wondering about. Oatmeal is a healthy staple of my breakfast menu, but I like to try different methods besides simply cooking it on the stovetop. This new recipe is quick, perfect for individual servings and so delicious with the addition of the strawberries and blueberries.
My favorite thing about this recipe is that it can be easily adapted to whatever fruit is in my refrigerator or freezer. It works just as well with fresh or frozen fruit, so I will always have the perfect addition on hand. For fall, swirl some pumpkin purée through the oatmeal mixture and you have a delicious single serving of pumpkin oatmeal. You also could sprinkle nuts on the top if you choose; the possibilities are endless.
Two Berry Baked Oatmeal For One
1 egg
1/2 cup milk ( I used lowfat )
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 tsp brown sugar ( I used Splenda )
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup fruit ( I used half blueberries and half strawberries)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Beat egg in a medium bowl. Add milk and mix well. Add oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Stir until well blended. Stir in fruit. Place mixture in single serving baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes or until oats are set. Enjoy!

I've got to try this. You always make the most interesting oatmeal dishes. Love the idea of the pumpkin one - something for fall!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had breakfast so I put together a dish and it's baking away in the oven. Can't wait to try it! I used dried chopped dates and walnuts.
ReplyDeleteIt was delicious! Going to fix this for my sister when she visits next week;)
