A sweet and nutritious baked oatmeal dish made with rolled oats, fresh raspberries, chocolate chips, and a lightly sweetened custard-like base. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a make-ahead snack, this recipe is easy to prepare, customizable, and packed with wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
– 2¾ cups rolled oats
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon fine salt
– ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
– ½ cup plain yogurt (dairy-free or regular)
– 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
– 1¼ cups milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
– ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, do not thaw)
– ¼ cup chocolate chips (use dairy-free if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips, being careful not to break the berries.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Optionally, garnish with extra raspberries, chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
– For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) and use plant-based yogurt and milk.
– Customize with mix-ins like blueberries, strawberries, dried fruit, nuts, or seeds for variety.
– Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds to restore texture.
