When we saw how popular our Baked Oatmeal with Strawberries, Banana and Chocolate was, we just had to make another one. This time, we added lemon zest, juicy blackberries and a quick caramel sauce on top.
How to Make Baked Oatmeal with Blackberries
This baked oatmeal recipe is simple. Start by stirring the oats, brown sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, nutmeg and salt together. Add half of the oat mixture to a baking dish then top with a few blackberries. Then layer the remaining oat mixture and blackberries on top of that. Next combine the milk, butter, vanilla extract and egg and pour over the oat mixture and blackberries. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is nicely golden brown and the milk mixture has set. Then serve warm topped with caramel sauce! If you would prefer to not make your own caramel sauce, this is perfectly delicious with a drizzle of store-bought sauce, honey or maple syrup. 1/4 cup light brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 2 cups milk 1 large egg 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 ounces fresh blackberries 1/4 cup butter 1 tablespoon water 2In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, nutmeg and salt. Add half of the oat mixture to prepared baking dish. Arrange half of the blackberries on top. Then add the second half of the oatmeal and top with the remaining blackberries. 3In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla extract. Gently shimmy/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.
