I want a healthy lifestyle – I’m sure you’ve heard it somewhere, or even that’s part of your resolution this year. Each year, I always try to eat more greens and less greasy stuffs. Well, I’m sure you get the idea. I am a believer that a perfect day starts with a good breakfast, and that’s what my parents have been teaching me. However, often times, I prefer to sleep in rather than prepare a nice and healthy breakfast *guilty smile*. Good news – this oatmeal breakfast is so easy to make, and has a creamy and rich ingredients! Another good news is you can make this 4 days ahead of time and freeze it.
Baked Oatmeal Chocolate Berries
Make: 2-4 casserole cup
Ingredients:
- 1 cup lightly toasted cashews
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbs agave syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup mixed berries
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chip
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a blender, combine the cashews and oats until smooth.
- In a bowl, combine the applesauce, vanilla extract, agave syrup, sea salt, and milk; then combine with oats mixture. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into the casserole dish, then add half of the berries and dark chocolate chips. Pour the remaining mixture, then add the rest of berries and chocolate.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the top appears dry. Let it cool and serve warm or cold. I like mine with a touch of agave syrup on top.
To be honest with you, I’ve never been a fan of oatmeal. I do not like the mushy texture and flavor is too bland. But this one, I totally think it’s exceptional and I’d LOVE to try it!
this looks absolutely divine! x www.scrambledmegs.com

Wow, what a unique way to serve oatmeal! So useful that you can freeze it too!
Hehe you see I’m just like you. I’d rather skip breakfast and get more sleep! But this is the solution completely!
This looks soooo good! I want to make this soon! I love the new look of your site too!!
This is like my ideal breakfast!
I’ve never seen cashews used this way. I think this is so creative. I have all the ingredients. This is on my radar for this week.
