Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

 
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
 
Why we love this recipe. Our extra easy baked oatmeal recipe with fresh strawberries, bananas and rich chocolate is such a crowd-pleaser. You could make this in the morning or if you’re short on time, prepare it the night before and bake in the morning. Easy. What you need to know. There are lots of substitutions you can make, here. A few ideas: replace the milk with soy milk, remove the egg, reduce sugar a little, or change up the fruit, nuts and chocolate to something you love. We talk a bit more about recipe substitutions in the article, but you can also read below in the comments to see what others have done.
Equipment you’ll need. You will need a 10-1/2 by 7-inch or 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish, a baking sheet, a chef’s knife, 2 large bowls and a whisk.
Created By:
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (175 grams) old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup (70 grams) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice (you can substitute cinnamon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (55 grams) walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup (125 grams) sliced strawberries
  • 1/3 cup (58 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups (473 ml) reduced-fat (2%) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled, 1/2-inch slices
Method
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Generously spray the inside of a 10-1/2 by 7 inch baking dish (or 8-inch by 8-inch square baking dish) with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, orange zest, Chinese five spice, salt, half the walnuts, half the strawberries and half the chocolate. Add to prepared baking dish. Arrange the remaining strawberries, walnuts and chocolate on top of the oats. Then, scatter the banana slices.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract. Then, pour over oats and fruit. Gently shimmy and shake the baking dish to help the milk mixture go throughout the oats.
  4. Bake oatmeal for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the milk mixture has set.
  5. For an extra tasty top, sprinkle a tablespoon or so of extra brown sugar on top then place back in the oven under the broiler and broil for 20-30 seconds.
  6. Serve warm.

Scones

This Recipe is easiest to prepare if you use a stand mixer that can knead for you. However, you can do it by hand and it works just fine. Also, this makes tons so if your mixer is small, you may want to half the recipe.**








1. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine:
2 c. warm water
2 T. active dry yeast
½ c. sugar

2. Let that mixture stand 10 minutes until yeast begins to grow. Then add:
½ c. instant dry milk
2 eggs
3 cups flour

3. Beat until smooth, then let the mixture rest for 20 minutes. Next add:
½ c. vegetable or canola oil
4 tsp. salt
Enough flour to make a soft dough (I usually add one cup of flour at a time, mixing well between until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and I can touch or press the dough without it sticking to my finger).

4. Knead dough in stand mixer for 5 more minutes.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a dishcloth and let rise for 1 hour.

FOR SCONES: Shape dough into scones and place on plastic wrap or waxed paper that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Let rise 20-30 minutes. Fry in hot oil

FOR DINNER ROLLS: Roll into desired shapes, place on greased pan. Let rise for about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden brown.

HONEY BUTTER: Beat together 2 squares real butter (softened), 1/8 cup honey and ¼ tsp. vanilla. Can also add ¼ tsp. cinnamon if desired. Serve on warm scones

Cinnamon Rolls

-->
2 cup boiling water
2 squares butter
1 cup sugar
1 TBS salt
2/3 cup powdered milk
1 cup warm water
1/2 tsp sugar
3 TBS yeast
6 beaten eggs
12 cup flour
**Mix in a large stand electric mixer with dough hook attachment**
Pour boiling water over sugar and butter in a large stand mixer bowl. Stir until butter is melted. Cool slightly, then add the salt and powdered milk. Meanwhile, mix the 1 cup water, 1/2 tsp sugar and yeast in a small bowl. Allow yeast to bubble. Add the yeast mixture to the first mixture along with the eggs and 5 cups of the flour. Beat until very smooth. Continue adding the rest of the flour and beating until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl and isn't sticky to touch. Remove dough, and place in a large greased bowl. Cover with a dish cloth and allow to rise for about 45 minutes.
After dough has risen, pound down and place on a floured surface. Roll dough out in to a large rectangle. This makes a HUGE rectangle - you may want to divide dough in half and do it in two batches.
Melt 1 1/2 cubes of butter and spread melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon all over the top (probably about 1 1/2 cups of each kind of sugar and 2-3 TBS cinnamon. Roll up and cut in to slices (I use a piece of thread to cut the slices). Place rolls on greased cookie sheets and rise another 30 minutes to an hour.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until well browned. Then frost with homemade vanilla butter cream frosting.
FROSTING: Make homemade frosting by combining 1 cup softened butter, 2-3 T. milk and about 3 cups powdered sugar. Thin by adding more milk, thicken by adding more powdered sugar.

Chocolate Bundt Cake


























1 devil's food cake mix
1 5.9 oz box instant chocolate pudding mix
5 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
16 oz. sour cream
2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine cake and pudding mixes in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add sour cream, melted butter and eggs. Mix until combined. Batter will be very thick. Add in chocolate chips and mix well. If you don't have a stand mixer, or don't want to get it out, this can very easily be mixed by hand. Spoon batter into Bundt pan (coated with cooking spray). Bake 50-55 minutes, or until cake tester inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
