I am throwing this article up rather quickly, just to get the recipe out to you. I will come back at a later date with photos and more written details about what it means to ferment oats and photos of step by step directions on making this oatmeal bake. In the meantime, watch the video below as it explains the process on how to ferment oats and tells you why we do it. I share a couple tips when using fermented oats. The Fermented Blueberry Oatmeal Bake recipe can be found below the video. Enjoy!
Fermented Blueberry Oatmeal Bake
Please watch the video for a couple tips on using the fermented oats in this particular recipe. I am simply going to give you the ingredients and directions.
INGREDIENTS:
3 c. of fermented oats (use the quantity that was made in the video)
1/2 c. coconut sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. real salt
1/2 c. olive oil or melted butter
1/3 c. honey or maple syrup
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1-2 large eggs or 1-2 gelatin eggs (I have used 1 or 2 and the texture preference is up to you)
2 tsp. baking powder
1-1 1/2 c. blueberries (I haven’t, but you could use another fruit or add nuts if you want)
DIRECTIONS:
Once you have followed the instructions in the video on making your fermented oats, strain the oats, rinse if you want and remove the excess liquid. Then place in a medium/large bowl. Stir in the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the olive oil/butter, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Then evenly stir in your eggs. Once the eggs are mixed in evenly, stir in your baking powder then fold in the blueberries.
Spread in a greased baking dish. I have not used a 9″x13″, but I think that would be too big. I know an 8″x8″ doesn’t cook the bottom well enough, so my 8″x12″ baking dish is just right for this.
Place in a preheated oven set to 350 degrees F. Bake for 50-60 minutes until your inserted butter knife or toothpick comes out clean.
As you can see for the ingredients, you have some options. Some options will give you a Keto friendly oatmeal bake and other options will give you an allergy friendly oatmeal bake.
If you’re looking for this recipe in its non-fermented form and using traditional ingredients such as you don’t worry about Keto and you don’t have food allergies, you can find the basic recipe here.
Enjoy!
