This almond baked oatmeal is a protein-rich, easy, and delicious meal-prep breakfast for your week. For the cake-like base, cottage cheese is blended with eggs and milk, then mixed with rolled oats, baking powder, fresh apple, and dried apricots. Topped with an almond butter topping with bitter almond flavor, similar to frangipane, the baked oatmeal is baked in the oven and can then be kept in the refrigerator for up to a day. This way, you can enjoy your baked oats cold or warmed up in the morning.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Grease a baking dish (approximately 20 x 20 cm / 8 x 8 inches) with a little oil or butter. Quarter half an apple and slice it thinly; cut the apricots into thin strips.

Place cottage cheese, eggs, milk, agave syrup, and bitter almond extract in a mixing bowl and blend until smooth using an immersion blender.

Stir the oat flakes, baking powder, apple pieces and apricots into the cottage cheese mixture, pour it into the prepared casserole dish and smooth it out.

In the mixing bowl just used, mix the almond butter, the remaining agave syrup, milk and bitter almond flavoring together until smooth, then spread evenly over the surface of the dough and top with the almond flakes.

Bake the oatmeal at 180°C (350°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the baked oatmeal cool completely and then refrigerate. Enjoy it cold or warmed up in the morning.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Texture Perfection 🥄
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth to ensure a silky, cake-like texture without lumps in your baked oats.
Almond Extract Mastery 🧴
Go slow with bitter almond extract - start with just a few drops, as it's intensely flavored and can quickly overpower the dish.
Moisture Management 💧
If preparing in advance, add fresh apple just before baking to prevent excess moisture from making the oats soggy during storage.
Topping Technique 🥜
Warm your almond butter slightly before drizzling to create a more fluid, even distribution across the baked oats.
Meal Prep Magic 🥣
Cut the baked oats into individual portions before refrigerating for easy grab-and-go breakfast options throughout the week.
