Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared 8×8 inch baking pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Let the baked oatmeal cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment overhang.
  9. Cut into 9 or 16 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For easier removal, ensure you generously grease the pan or use parchment paper that extends over the sides.
  • If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw them first; add them directly to the batter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • These squares freeze well; wrap individual portions tightly before freezing for up to 3 months.
