Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or melted coconut oil or light olive oil)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced lengthwise (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar size.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Let the mixture rest while you prepare the strawberries.
- Hull and slice the strawberries lengthwise.
- Fold most of the strawberries into the oat mixture, reserving a few for topping or serving.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining strawberry slices.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Let cool for about 20 minutes if you’d like to cut into squares, or serve immediately in a bowl-style with your favorite toppings.
