Cranberry Citrus Oatmeal Bake
I wanted to clean out my freezer and pantry and now it's on repeat.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
-
2.5 cups rolled oats (maybe a little more or less depending on liquid)
-
2 tsp ceylon cinnamon
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
(optional) dried apples (no sugar added)
Wet Ingredients
-
1 tbsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
-
2 bananas, mashed or blended
-
1 orange or 3 clementines
-
zest from oranges (or clementines)
-
1 egg
-
1 tbsp honey or 1 tbsp molasses (adds a deep warm flavor)
-
1 1/4 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries, split if using frozen
-
frozen: 1/4 cup into batter, 1 cup right before bake
-
Directions
-
Zest the orange (or clementines) into a large bowl. Add oats.
-
Peel oranges (or clementines) and put into blender with bananas, cinnamon, honey, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder and blend. Pour into bowl with zest and oats and stir.
-
Let the mixture sit for ~4 hours in the fridge to soften the oats, any longer will make the end result mushy.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, Pour the batter into a pan (I use a 9"x9") and bake for 30-35 mins. Let cool for ~30 mins.
-
Slice and serve. I like to serve mine with yogurt and sprinkled cinnamon on top!
