- Diet: Gluten Free (use certified gluten-free oats)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg or 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute), optional
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (use vegan white chocolate chips for vegan option)
- Preheat Your Oven and Prepare the Dish: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small to medium-sized baking dish to prevent sticking. This sets the stage for your oats to bake into a golden, cozy creation.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This evenly distributes the leavening agent so your baked oats rise beautifully.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and egg (or flax egg). This mixture infuses moisture, sweetness, and binding power into the oats.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixes: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, ensuring the oats absorb the liquid for that creamy, fluffy texture.
- Fold in Raspberries and White Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in fresh or frozen raspberries along with white chocolate chips, preserving their shape while evenly distributing flavor bursts throughout the batter.
- Bake and Enjoy: Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries when possible for better texture, but frozen raspberries work fine.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the oats light and fluffy rather than dense.
- Adjust additional sweetener according to your taste, as white chocolate chips add sweetness.
- Let your baked oats rest a few minutes before serving for easier slicing and enhanced flavor.
- Check oven temperature to ensure even cooking and perfect texture.
