Name: Baked Oatmeal for a Crowd with Berries and Seeds
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 50 min
Ingredients: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan; 6 medjool dates, pitted and chopped (1/2 cup); 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 4 cups whole milk; 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus more for serving; 2 large eggs; 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract; 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries; 1/4 cup toasted pepitas; 2 tablespoons hemp seed hearts

When mixed berries get baked into creamy, cinnamon-spiced oats, the result is this warming breakfast casserole that can feed a crowd in one fell scoop. Chopped dates provide sweetness the natural way, while crunchy toasted pepitas and hemp seed hearts offer a big helping of omega-3 fatty acids.

Baked Oatmeal for a Crowd with Berries and Seeds

medjool dates, pitted and chopped (1/2 cup)

old fashioned rolled oats

baking powder

salt

cinnamon

milk

maple syrup,

eggs

vanilla extract

mixed berries

toasted pepitas

hemp seed hearts

Heat oven to 350°F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle dates evenly along bottom. In a large bowl, whisk together oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine milk, maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add to bowl with oats and stir to combine. Transfer to prepared dish.

Sprinkle top with berries and bake until just set, about 35 minutes. Sprinkle pepitas and hemp hearts over oatmeal. Let cool 20 minutes. Serve warm or cold with extra maple syrup, if desired. Baked oatmeal can be stored covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

I made this for a breakfast buffet for 30+ people.... made 1 1/2X the original recipe, used fresh blueberries and walnuts, sprinkled brown sugar: excellent! Several asked for the recipe! Today I halved the recipe and used bananas, walnuts, and pepitas, sprinkled brown sugar: amazing! Very versatile and easy recipe!

This recipe is very good! It’s the perfect level of sweetness, and I love the nuttiness of the hemp seeds. Reheats well for breakfasts throughout the week. 
The only change I made was using 2% milk instead of whole.

This is a delicious recipe and this is the second weekend in a row that I’ve made it. I cut the leftovers into squares and reheat them to eat for breakfast during the week.
