Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, mashed sweet potato, almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform distribution.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The edges should be slightly golden and the center should be set but still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the baked oats cool for 5-10 minutes. This allows the dish to set and makes it easier to serve.
- Optional: Garnish with additional cinnamon, a drizzle of maple syrup, chopped nuts, or fresh berries before serving.
- Cut into 6 equal portions and serve warm. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave.
Tips
- Choose the Right Sweet Potato: Use ripe, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for the most vibrant color and sweetest flavor.
- Mash Thoroughly: Ensure your sweet potato is completely smooth to create a consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Don't Overmix: Whisk ingredients just until combined to keep the oats light and fluffy.
- Check for Doneness: The edges should be golden, and the center should be set but slightly soft - this ensures a creamy texture.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with different garnishes like chopped pecans, sliced almonds, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- Make Ahead Friendly: These baked oats can be prepared the night before and reheated in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- Storage Tip: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, making meal prep a breeze!
