Baked Oatmeal with Berries and Nuts
This baked oatmeal is a hearty and delicious way to start your day. It's made with oats, almond milk, berries, nuts, chia seeds, and spices, and it's baked until golden brown and bubbly. The oats are cooked through and the berries are bursting with flavor, and the nuts add a nice crunch. This oatmeal is perfect for a winter morning, or any time you need a warm and comforting breakfast.
Baked oatmeal is a classic breakfast dish that's been around for centuries. It's a simple and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. This particular recipe is inspired by the classic baked oatmeal recipe from the Joy of Cooking. I've made a few modifications to the original recipe, including adding berries, nuts, and chia seeds. I've also reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe, and I've used unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk. The result is a delicious and healthy baked oatmeal that's perfect for a busy weekday morning.
