Baked Oatmeal

http://www.mamasheartblog.com/?p=1778

• 3 c oatmeal (I use quick oats, but regular oats would work fine as well)
• 2 T cinnamon
• 2 t. baking powder
• 1 t. sea salt (I like Real Salt)
• ½ c. brown sugar
• ½ c. honey
• 1 ½ c. cultured buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• ¼ c. coconut oil (or butter), melted
• 2 t. vanilla
• 1 c. fruit; raspberries, blueberries, mashed bananas, apples, etc.
• ½ cup of pecans (optional)

Mix dry ingredients together, add to wet ingredients in mixing bowl. Combine thoroughly (I let the Bosch do the work). Allow to rest for 5 minutes to increase loft (from buttermilk/baking powder combination), pour in to well-greased 9×13″ pan and bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes. Center should be firm and poke-able just like a cake; top should be lightly browned.

Cut in pieces and serve warm (or cold) – it’s especially delightful with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
