Instructions
To Make the Oatmeal:
Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, milk, eggs, walnuts, syrup, banana, butter, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Carefully fold in ¾ cup of strawberries.
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 ¾ cup milk, 2 large eggs, ½ cup walnuts, ⅓ cup maple syrup, ⅓ cup banana mashed, ¼ cup unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and top with the remaining ¼ cup of strawberries.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the center is almost set. It should be soft in the middle and not completely dry. If you prefer a drier baked oatmeal, continue baking for a few more minutes.
To Make the Strawberry Glaze (Optional):
Place the strawberries and sugar into a medium saucepan and bring the ingredients to a boil. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves then reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about 10 minutes.
14 ounces fresh strawberries, ½ cup granulated sugar
Use a wooden spoon to mashed the strawberries as the mixture cooks.
After 10 minutes, remove the pan from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool for several minutes, then transfer to a heat-safe blender. Process until smooth.
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pour the strawberry mixture through a mesh sieve. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To Make the Vanilla Glaze (Optional):
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons of milk, and the vanilla. Add more milk to reach the desired consistency.
1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Drizzle the baked oatmeal with strawberry sauce and vanilla glaze. Serve warm.
