Best Amish Baked Oatmeal

(8 servings) Printable Version

6 large eggs or use the same amount of whites
3/4 cup apple juice concentrate - unsweetened and undiluted
3 1/4 cups whole dairy milk - soy or rice or almond milk is fine too
1 cup canola oil or substitute with 1 cup applesauce
1 cup pure maple syrup (at 7 bucks a pint I use regular maple flavored syrup)
5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons baking powder
6 cups rolled oats or quick oats - see below
3-4 medium apples-peeled and chopped
1 cup walnuts-pecans or almonds-diced (optional)
Add-ins include raisins-craisins and dried apricots-etc. (optional)
1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Grease 9 X 13 - inch glass or stoneware baking dish and set aside.

2. In mixer bowl with whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip eggs, concentrated apple juice, milk, canola oil and maple syrup together until foamy.

3. Add cinnamon, baking powder and oatmeal, and stir until mixed. Add apples, walnuts, and any other add-ins. Stir in and mix well.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

5. Mix the 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together.

6. If making the Baked Oatmeal with quick oats, pour into prepared pan, sprinkle the brown sugar over the oatmeal, and let sit for 15 minutes so the oats can soak up some of the liquid before baking. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Oatmeal will puff up and rise a bit while baking, but will settle while cooling.

7. If using old-fashioned rolled oats, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Remove from fridge, uncover, and let sit while the oven is preheating to 350 degrees F. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until puffed and slightly browned around the edges. Bake time may take longer straight out of the refrigerator.

8. Careful! Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Baked Oatmeal can be very hot!

9. Serves 6-10, depending on serving size.

10. Serving suggestions: Top with yogurt and fresh fruit; Top with whipped cream for dessert; Add milk and sprinkle with brown sugar; Drizzle pure maple syrup over the top.

It is best with nuts and craisins and I usually add more apples. I make a batch and this is my breakfast for the week. I have made it with and without the substitutions and there is no difference so it can be a very low fat and cholesterol meal. It also freezes very well. Great with cinnamon applesauce on the side.
