Baked Cherry Berry Oatmeal
I don’t know about you, but I can get tired of eating the same old oatmeal each and every morning for breakfast. Not only am I looking for some variety in taste, but I also love the idea of make ahead recipes. This saves time and makes 4-6 portions you can eat throughout the week for breakfast.
Baked oatmeal is as simple as mixing up a few ingredients, pouring them in a baking dish, and throwing in the oven to bake. Quick and easy prep! You can bake and serve this breakfast dish in the morning, or prepare the night before and allow to set overnight.
This is a vegan recipe, using chia seed mixed with water as a binding ingredient. You can make this baked cherry oatmeal with steel cut oats and your choice of milk substitute: almond, coconut, or oat milk.
Although you can enjoy this cold, it’s delicious warmed up with additional fresh or dried fruit, nuts, and milk substitute.
