How to Make Cherry Almond Baked Oatmeal

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x7 inch casserole dish or 4-6 individual ramekins with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
  4. Stir well to combine the dry ingredients.
  5. In a separate large saucepan, bring the milk, brown sugar, and butter to a boil over medium heat. Watch carefully, as it will foam up and boil over quickly.
  6. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the hot milk mixture evenly over the dry ingredients in the prepared dish or ramekins.
  8. Stir gently to combine, ensuring all the oats are moistened.
  9. Fold in the pitted cherries and sliced almonds.
  10. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set, the milk is absorbed, and the top is lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your dish.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy plain, or top with milk, butter, or your favorite syrup.
