When I'm working with people to tame their cravings and break free from compulsive eating, it is SO important that they eat foods that feed their cravings. I developed this recipe to satisfy my own cravings for warm, baked goods. That way, I don't go crazy looking at all the muffins in the cafe later when I'm out with my friends... I already had my fill!
Spiced Banana Berry Baked Oatmeal (yes, it's an amazing mouthful)
1 cup steel oats (or ½ cup oats, ½
cup amaranth, which reminds me of cream of wheat)
1/2 cup walnuts
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp each cardamom and ginger
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp chia seeds (optional)
Combine dry ingredients right in the baking dish you will be baking in. Mix around.
1-2 ripe sliced bananas
1/2 cup blueberries, strawberries,
raspberries or cherries (fresh or frozen)
Spread berries and sliced bananas over the top. (You'll see I made two versions, one with, one without berries... definitely add the berries!) You can use fresh or frozen bananas - frozen ones still slice easily on a cutting board.
3/4 cup milk
1 1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp maple syrup
Add liquid ingredients right into baking dish, starting with the milk and water and then stir to combine. Everything will be floating and bobbing around and that's just great. Feel free to sprinkle with additional cinnamon before popping in the oven.
I added some coconut to the top during the last 15 minutes of baking. Feel free to play. Granola is another delightful topping.
I love to make this for Sunday brunch and have it all week!
