Baked Vanilla Oatmeal with Nutmeg
Just when you thought your morning oatmeal couldn’t get any easier, this recipe comes along.
This Baked Vanilla Oatmeal with Nutmeg uses a totally hands-free approach to cooking.
Instead of stirring oats as they cook over the stove, all you’ll need to do is pour it all into a baking dish and pop it into the oven.
It’ll emerge perfectly cooked and ready to eat!
This version uses vanilla and nutmeg as the main flavorings in this dish. You could easily substitute the nutmeg for cinnamon, cardamom or another spice of your choice.
This baked oatmeal recipe would also take well to chopped or dried fruit, such as apples, apricots or raisins.
If you have any leftovers, they can be reheated in the oven or over the stove top.
Because the oats are already cooked, they wouldn’t need much time on the stove. Simply add a bit more almond milk to loosen up the mixture, and stir until smooth.
