Great Paleo-Based Diet Option

Organic oats and white rice are two grains that I do super well with and have no problem adding into my usually paleo-based diet. And after chatting with many of you – it seems that lots of you are the same!

If you’re into oats, especially the warm and yummy baked variety… you’re in for a treat! Oats have been a favorite for me for breakfast lately and I love that I can feed this to Hudson too.

Nursing mama? This will be right up your alley! I hear so many women sing the praises of oats in their diet and how it really helps with their milk supply. This would be such a great way to get more in, in the most delicious way!

Notes

  • If you are looking for a great organic & gluten-free rolled oats option, I really like THESE
  • To make this dairy-free, substitute coconut oil for the ghee
  • I use coconut milk in this recipe, but you can substitute whatever milk you like!  For another dairy-free option, I love using Nutpods in the French Vanilla or Caramel flavor!
  • FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS:
    • Bake the oatmeal according to directions, then allow it to completely cool.  Slice into squares and wrap individually with plastic wrap then a layer of foil to keep the air out.  Freeze!
    • To reheat:  defrost overnight in the refrigerator.  To warm, heat in the microwave or in a 350ºF oven until heated through.

Keyword: apple cinnamon, oatmeal,breakfast, snacks

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rolled Oats (I used THESE which are organic & gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Ghee melted, (plus a bit more for greasing the dish)
  • 1 cup Milk*
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 large Apple thinly sliced and chopped
  • 1/3 cup Walnuts or Pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.  Grease a 9″ square baking dish with some melted coconut oil or ghee, or line it with parchment paper so the oatmeal doesn’t stick.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients:  oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or ghee, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients to dry, and mix until combined.  Stir in the apple and chopped nuts until just mixed.
  • Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, and top with a few extra pecans or walnuts if using.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly golden on top & around the edges, and firm in the center.  Slice into 9 to 12 squares and serve!  Store leftovers in the fridge. We love ours reheated and served with a little milk – so good

Notes

  • To make this dairy free, substitute coconut oil for the ghee
  • I use coconut milk in this recipe, but you can substitute whatever milk you like!  For another dairy free option, I love using Nutpods in the French Vanilla or Caramel flavor!
  • FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS:
    • Bake the oatmeal according to above directions, then allow it to completely cool.  Slice into squares and wrap individually with plastic wrap then a layer of foil to keep the air out.  Freeze!
    • To reheat:  defrost overnight in the refrigerator.  To warm, heat in the microwave or in a 350ºF oven until heated through.
