Brown Butter Strawberry Oatmeal (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ To Get Pan Ready

01 - Spray-on nonstick coating

→ Wet Mix

02 - 56 g salted butter, cut up
03 - 2 eggs, large
04 - 360 g milk, any kind
05 - 78 g real maple syrup
06 - 1 tsp vanilla
07 - 1/4 tsp almond flavor

→ Dry Mix

08 - 180 g rolled oats (go for gluten-free if you want)
09 - 1 tsp baking powder
10 - 1/4 tsp kosher salt
11 - 225 g fresh strawberries, sliced up, split in two portions

→ Strawberry Topping Sauce

12 - 7 g freeze-dried strawberries
13 - 30 g powdered sugar
14 - 1 tbsp salted butter, melted
15 - 1 to 2 tbsp milk, whatever kind you like

→ Adding at the End

16 - Yogurt or milk of your choice

# Instructions:

01 - Set oven to 175°C. Give an 8-inch square pan a good spray with nonstick.
02 - Toss butter in a small pot over medium. Melt it and keep mixing as it foams up. When it smells kind of nutty and looks golden (should take 5–8 minutes), pull it off and cool for 5 more.
03 - Grab a big bowl and stir eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond extract all together until smooth.
04 - Dump oats, salt, and baking powder into the wet bowl. Mix it all well, then add your cooled brown butter. Fold in half the strawberries gently.
05 - Spoon the oat mixture in the greased pan, spreading it even. Sprinkle the extra strawberries over the top. Bake for 35–45 minutes until the curb is golden and the middle only sticks a bit to a tester. Let it sit in the pan 10 minutes or more.
06 - Crush up freeze-dried strawberries to powder using a spice grinder. Mix the powder, powdered sugar, melted butter, and a tablespoon of milk in a bowl. Add more milk if you need it to run off your spoon easy.
07 - Pour some strawberry sauce over the cooled oatmeal, slice into 6 bits, and serve warm with a spoonful of yogurt or splash of milk if you want.

# Notes:

01 - Dairy-free? Try melted plant butter for the browning step and swap in non-dairy milk.
02 - Stash leftovers in the fridge—covered up—for 4 days tops. Reheat single pieces in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
03 - Fill a muffin tin with this mix and you'll get 12 little oat muffins in 25–35 mins.
04 - Change up the fruit! Blueberries, apples, peaches or pears all work instead of strawberries.
