Vanilla Berry Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp ground flax meal
• 3 tbsp warm water
• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup liquid honey
• 2 1/4 cups plant milk of your choice
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
• 1/4 cup almonds
• 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350° F and lightly oil an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish. Mix the flax meal and the water together in a small bowl. Allow them to thicken for a few minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. Whisk together the prepared flax mixture, the maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the oat mixture and stir to combine.
4. Turn the mixture out into your baking dish. Top with the berries and almonds and sugar and transfer the oatmeal to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the oats are spongy, but solid. Allow them to cool.
5. You can serve the baked oatmeal either warm or cold.
