Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients and prepare your mise en place. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Lightly grease a 2-quart rectangular baking dish with butter or cooking spray. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In the prepared baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the rolled oats and your choice of amaranth, buckwheat groats, or quinoa (if using). Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least overnight, or up to 3 days. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and develop a wonderful texture. (5 minutes)

06

Step

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (10 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator, uncover, and give the mixture a good stir to re-incorporate any settled ingredients. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (50 minutes)

09

Step

Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the oatmeal to set further. (10 minutes)

10

Step

Serve warm, and enjoy the symphony of flavors and textures!

For a richer flavor, use whole milk or coconut milk.
Add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup and brown sugar to your desired level of sweetness.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
