Servings: 8
Calories: 220kcal
Equipment
- 1 8 x 8 baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup dried cherries
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips at least 62% cacoa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F for a glass pan or 375°F for a metal or ceramic pan.
- Grease an 8 x8 baking pan.
- Place oats, brown sugar, and baking powder in a bowl and mix to combine the dry ingredients. Make sure there are no clumps of brown sugar in the mixture.
- Add the cherries, almonds, and chocolate chips to the oat and sugar mixture and toss to coat with the oats. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom while cooking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and add the milk and melted butter.
- Add the milk and egg mixture to the oats and mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed and gets into the corners. Smooth the top with a spoon.
- Place the pan in the middle of the oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until it is firm and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool on a rack and then cut into pieces.
