SAMPLE RECIPE: Baked Berry Oatmeal

SERVES: 12 // PREP TIME: 15 minutes // COOK TIME: 4 to 6 hours

Baked oatmeal contains eggs and milk, so it will set into a mixture that can be cut into squares. This recipe resembles an oatmeal cookie, but it’s much better for you. Serve it with some maple syrup or honey drizzled over each piece.

Instructions:

1. Grease a 6-quart slow cooker with plain vegetable oil.

2. In a large bowl, place the rolled oats.

3. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, honey, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix until well combined. Pour this mixture over the oats.

4. Gently stir in the dried blueberries and dried cherries. Pour into the prepared slow cooker.

5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the oatmeal mixture is set and the edges start to brown.

VARIATION TIP:

Leftovers of this recipe can be crumbled on top of yogurt for breakfast. Try it with plain Greek yogurt and add some sliced strawberries or blueberries for a great start to the day.
