Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or a similar sized oven-safe dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt on top for added flavor.
Tips
- Use fresh, plump raspberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen raspberries can work too, but may make the oatmeal slightly more watery.
- Don't overmix the batter – this can lead to tough, dense oatmeal. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For extra richness, consider using whole milk or even a splash of cream.
- Let the baked oatmeal rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps it set and makes it easier to serve.
- Customize your toppings! Try a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave for a quick and delicious breakfast throughout the week.
