    • Recipe Description:

    Fragrant with cinnamon and sweetened by apples, this baked oatmeal can be eaten hot or col, as breakfast, snack or lunch. The eggs and milk give oatmeal a protein boost.

    Recipe Ingredients:

  • 6 cups thick rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup acid, such as whey or raw apple cider vinegar (or sourdough starter, to improve the effectiveness of the soaking)
  • 8 cups water
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts (or any other nut/seed — I often add a handful of raw sunflower seeds)
  • 1/2 cup butter, lightly melted
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup rapadura, sucanat or palm sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 apple, diced finely or shredded
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut (optional)

    • Recipe Instructions:

    Combine oats, acid (or sourdough starter*), water, and nuts/seeds in a big bowl. Cover and let soak overnight.

    *Sourdough starter improves the soaking’s effectiveness by adding phytase to reduce phytic acid — which otherwise the oats lack — as well as organisms to accomplish an overnight fermentation. Don’t worry, it won’t be sour — if you rinse well the next morning!

    In the morning, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Drain the oats through a fine sieve. Rinse and allow to drain again.

    In a big mixing bowl, whisk together butter, milk, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Add oats and mix well. Add the apples, raisins and coconut and mix in gently.

    Transfer to a greased 9” x 13” baking dish (or two 8” square cake pans). Smooth the top. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Remove from oven to a cooling rack. Allow 15 minutes to rest before cutting into bars. Eat in a bowl with yogurt, kefir, or milk. Or as a bar with maple syrup and fresh fruit. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

    Just yummy! I added some ground linseeds in addition to all the other ingredients. Both kids loved it, and so did I! It is a huge amount of food though, enough for a couple of days! Reply
