Heart Shaped Craisin Baked Oatmeal recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

Inspired by a picture I saw earlier this week, (thanks, Christie!) I decided to break out the cookie cutters and make my kids grin.

The older boys thought the heart shaped breakfast was pretty cool and they spent the meal talking about all the Valentine fun they are planning to enjoy next week.

Whether you are cutting your oatmeal into shapes or simply slicing it in the pan*, this is a tasty, warm and hearty breakfast worthy of a special occasion or any other day. For this breakfast, soft, chewy oats and tender craisins are sweetened and then lightly spiced with cinnamon.

We’ve been eating baked oatmeal several times a month for years now (as evidenced by the numerous oatmeal recipes here) and we still aren’t tired of it.

My oldest son can assemble a pan and have it in the oven almost as quickly as I can now. I would love baked oatmeal mornings for that reason alone!

Servings: 6 servings (number of heart shapes will depend on your pan and your cookie cutter)

Ingredients 

  • 3 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup craisins or dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10" square (or 9" square or 7x10 or or 9x13 pan, you really can use almost any size) baking pan with parchment or foil, leaving enough extra to stand up around the sides. and set aside. Stir all the dry ingredients together and then stir in the oil. Then add the eggs and stir to combine. Add the milk last and stir again. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out mostly clean with just oat crumbs on it. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Carefully lift the oatmeal out using the ends of parchment or foil. Set on the counter and slice or use a cookie cutter to create the shape you want. Enjoy!
  • *If you are not going to cut your oatmeal into shapes, skip the parchment paper and simply grease the pan. Serve hot from the oven and scoop with a spoon or let it cool a bit and then slice it.
  • FREEZER
  • MEAL: Let the oatmeal cool completely and then cut or scoop into portions. Store
  • the oatmeal in airtight freezer bags or containers. Reheat in the microwave

    I've made two batches of the Pumpkin Spice version. Second batch I split the raisins with dried cranberries. And then I served it warm with Pumpkin Spice coffee cream poured over it. Oh wow. That is so yummy. I makes the spices really stand out.
