Proverbs 31 Woman in the Making part II - Baked Oatmeal Casserole

Health - A VIRTUOUS WOMAN CARES FOR HER BODY

Proverbs 31: 14-15:   She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar.  She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

Last night I prepared "Baked Oatmeal Casserole" for this morning and boy was it delicious......Next time I'll add some flax or chia seeds, until then...here is the recipe :)

Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup raspberries {any berries work} (slice or dice)
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
2 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ripe banana, peeled, 1/2-inch slices

Ready? 

Preheat oven to 375°F and generously spray the inside of a 10-1/2 by 7 inch baking dish with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, half the walnuts, half the strawberries and half the chocolate chips. (Save the other half of raspberries or strawberries, walnuts and chocolate for the top of the oatmeal).

In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract.

 

Add the oat mixture to prepared baking dish. Arrange the remaining fruit of your choice, walnuts and chocolate chips on top.  Add the banana slices to the top

Pour the milk mixture over everything. Gently shake the baking dish to help the milk mixture go throughout the oats

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown and the milk mixture has set. For an extra tasty top, sprinkle a tablespoon or so of extra brown sugar.

Let Cool Completely

ENJOY!!!
