This is a family favorite – baked oats. It’s a different take on oatmeal, but the kids find this more interesting than just a bowl of oatmeal. The great part is that ingredients can easily be added to this recipe to spice it up. I originally found a recipe on The Quick Journey and I’m linking it here. I have adjusted that recipe to fit our family. You just need a good “base” recipe before making adjustments.

Overnight Oats

3 large eggs

¼ cup of maple syrup

1 tsp of baking powder

1 tsp of vanilla

2 tsp of cinnamon

1/3 c of coconut oil

¾ cup of applesauce

1 cup of almond milk

3 cups of rolled oats

1 1/2 cups of raisins

Combine the liquid ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the oats and raisins. Mix. Add the baking powder and the cinnamon to the wet ingredients and mix. Pour mixture into a greased pan. Push down the oat mixture, so the top is flat. This can be refrigerated overnight, if covered with saran wrap. Oftentimes, I don’t refrigerate it and just bake it right away. 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
