Ingredients

  • 2 cups steel cut oats soaked overnight, then rinsed and drained in the AM
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup brown sugar + extra for the fruit compote
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch kosher salt
  • lemon zest optional
  • fruit to top (Bosc pears are used in these photos)

Instructions

  1. Soak the oats overnight in water.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 8 x 8 inch baking dish*.
  3. Drain and rinse the oats. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
  4. In a small bowl lightly beat the eggs and egg yolks.
  5. Add the brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and salt to the eggs and combine until mixed. Add to the oats.
  6. Finally pour in the milk and stir until all is combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. The bake should have a nice top coat and remain soft underneath.

To Make Fruit Topping:

  1. In a separate baking dish, add whatever fruit (fresh or frozen) you prefer, I used frozen bosc pears. Cut your fruit into slices if necessary. If you're using fresh fruit, you may need to add a couple tablespoons of water to the baking dish. My frozen fruit released plenty of water on it's own.

  2. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of brown sugar over the top.
  3. Add lemon zest.
  4. Cover with foil and put in the oven with your baked oatmeal. Let it get warm and bubbly and the fruit juice will collect in the dish. It will be ready to drizzle over the top of your oatmeal when the bake is done!
  5. Serve baked oatmeal topped with nuts and a dash more cinnamon!
