Who doesn’t love warm healthy breakfast recipes in the middle of winter?
I know that I’m a fan of gluten-free breakfast ideas that are filling and fill up my belly during these chilly months.
How about you?
I’m sure you don’t have any more leftover holiday pie or chocolate cake in your fridge, right?
Good.
Because if you did- that’d be a little scary. and moldy. and kinda sorta gross.
Those holiday sweets are long gone and I’m excited to bring you a hearty naturally sweet breakfast (or dessert) that you can serve when you’re yearning for that Valentine’s candy next week or those holiday sugar cookies that are no longer in your cookie jar.
There’s something special about baking oatmeal. I mean, you can whip up instant oats in the microwave in a jiffy but they’re pretty gross and taste like saw dust- plus I don’t promote microwave usage nor do I promote instant oats.
What do I like?
Rolled gluten-free oats and I bake ’em!
And if you’ve never baked your oats…well then you’ve gotta lotta goodness coming your way right now.
Since you probably stuffed yourself from the past few weeks during the holidays, this is a yummy way to get back on track and start your day off on the right food. You’ll be satisfied and not hungry after 30 minutes like so many blah boxed cereals will do to ya.
Take my advice.
Preheat your oven.
Have a little fun. Put a little sunshine in your gray, freezing January day and bake yourself this bowl of yumminess for breakfast tomorrow. Add your own fun toppings. Whatever you want! I suggest almonds, dried blueberries, hemp seeds, flax seeds and chia seeds. I also LOVE adding almond butter to make this extra creamy inside…(that’s my secret).
Enjoy!

Made this recipe today and it was pretty good. I changed a few things. Since I only had steel cut oats, I used them instead of rolled and since they were cut I knew they would probably soak up more of the milk so I used 3 cups of milk instead of 2 1/4 and I used 2% since I have no issues with lactose intolerance. The consistency was like a moist brownie. I baked it for the same amount of time the recipe calls for. I used honey instead of syrup for anyone who may want to know. I do think it could have been a bit more sweet so I may add a little more honey or maybe even some aguave next time. Thanks for a good gluten free alternative for breakfast. This kept me going for hours after I ate it!Reply
Yay; so great. Thanks Amy! oxx

Can this be made ahead of time? Say a week before then reheated in the oven?

Hi Kelsey,
This can be made ahead but I don’t recommend keeping any food for 7 days. I’d say 1-2 days before could work but it might be a bit soggy. Leftovers for up to 2 days work! xxooReply
My son is allergic to oatmeal, but this looks so delicious. Thoughts on a substitute for the main ingredient?
Thanks.Reply
Thank you; how about quinoa or quinoa flakes? I haven’t tried it but you could try soaking the quinoa overnight and using less liquid. Not sure it will work but you can try it! oxox
