Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup rhubarb, chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped strawberries, and chopped rhubarb. Stir gently to mix the fruits with the oats, ensuring even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the oats and fruits. Stir until everything is evenly coated and mixed together.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally drizzling with additional maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries and rhubarb. If rhubarb is out of season, you can use frozen, but make sure to thaw and drain excess moisture.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter bake, feel free to add a bit more, or substitute with honey or agave syrup.
- Add Texture: For a crunchy topping, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts or a handful of granola over the top before baking.
- Let It Cool: Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes after baking; this helps the oatmeal set and makes it easier to slice and serve.
- Serve with Toppings: Elevate your dish by serving it warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or even a scoop of ice cream for a decadent dessert twist!
