Description
A hearty, make-ahead baked oatmeal recipe featuring a rich cardamom-spiced date swirl and crunchy pistachios, perfect for a no-fuss breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g (2.75 cups) rolled oats
- 50 g (0.25 cup) light brown sugar, packed
- 10 g (2 teaspoons) baking powder
- 3 g (0.5 teaspoon) fine sea salt
- 10 g (1 tablespoon) ground cardamom, divided
- 350 ml (1.5 cups) whole milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 large egg
- 60 ml (0.25 cup) pure maple syrup
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) neutral vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
- 200 g (1 cup) pitted Medjool dates, roughly chopped
- 120 ml (0.5 cup) hot water
- 40 g (0.25 cup) unsalted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prep Oven and Dish: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
- Make Cardamom Date Swirl: In a food processor, combine dates, hot water, and half of the ground cardamom. Process until a smooth paste forms; add more water if necessary to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and remaining cardamom in a large bowl.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Layer Oatmeal and Swirl: Pour half of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared dish. Top with half of the date swirl and half of the pistachios. Cover with remaining oatmeal mixture.
- Create Topping Swirl: Spoon remaining date swirl over the top and use a knife or skewer to create ribbons. Sprinkle with remaining pistachios.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving so the oatmeal firms up.
Notes
To avoid a dense texture, be careful not to overmix the batter. The baked oatmeal must cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to firm up properly.
