Tropical Baked Oatmeal

  I had some delicious pineapple left over, so I decided to try out this fun breakfast recipe.




Tropical Baked Oatmeal
adapted from vegansaurus


2 cup oats (not instant)
1 tsp cinnamon
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 cups almond milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp ground flax
1/3 cup chopped pineapple
1/4 cup walnuts



Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together except walnuts into a 9 by 9" baking pan.  Bake for 30-35 minutes. Put the walnuts onto a baking pan and put them in the oven for the last 5 minutes. When the oatmeal is done, top with the walnuts and serve.


I found that leftovers kept well if I just added a little more milk when reheating.

 
I usually add bananas or berries to my oatmeal, but this was a fun change. If you like coconut, sprinkle some on the top and It would be great too!

I usually cook oatmeal on the stove, but this was easier!
I have found that I am much better working with the oven than I am with having to watch things on the stove. Any tips? Just more practice? :)
