A delicious and easy to prepare breakfast recipe, this baked oatmeal is filled with blueberries, bananas, and coconut. A healthy and filling breakfast.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flax seed meal and water. Set aside for a few minutes until it becomes a gel.
In a large bowl, mix together the melted buttery spread, maple syrup, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and the flax seed gel. Stir well.
Add the gluten free oats, coconut, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
Add the chopped banana and blueberries, and stir again.
Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, remove the dish from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Uncover the oatmeal and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown.
Enjoy with dairy free yogurt or more fresh fruit on top if you like.
Notes
Store leftover oatmeal in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 5 days.I have never tried freezing this, but if you freeze individual portions and wrap them well, they should stay fresh for about 3 months.
