    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    You guys! I have such an amazing treat for you today. If you have looked at TikTok or anywhere on the internet, you already know how popular baked oatmeal is. The funny thing is it's actually been around for a long time, but it's making people go crazy for it right now.

    So, you can enjoy your own baked oatmeal, and the aroma is going to make your house smell amazing. While I don't make it often, it has a habit of making me giddy when I catch a whiff. I like to make baked cherry oatmeal as a special treat, not something we eat every day.

    If you are looking for something heavenly to add to your Mother's Day brunch spread or on Christmas morning, this is exactly the recipe you need. Let's get started so you whip up a batch!

    Ingredients Needed

    One of the things that I really like about this recipe is it feeds around 12 people and only requires 5 ingredients. So it's great for crowds or large groups too.

    • Oats - For best results, you are going to need to use old-fashioned oats. Be sure when you are buying them that you choose a variety that is certified gluten-free. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but if they aren't certified, they may have been exposed to gluten through cross-contamination.
    • Almond Milk - We love to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use any non-dairy substitute.
    • Egg Whites - You just need egg whites, not the entire egg. This will help bind the other ingredients and will give you perfect results.
    • Sweetener - I prefer to use my sweetener, but I also give you some other options in the recipe card as well.
    • Cherries - Using frozen cherries is amazing because you don't have to worry about finding them in season or pitting them which is messy and time-consuming. They are always delicious and simple to work with.

    How To Make Baked Cherry Oatmeal

    Let's face it; mornings are HECTIC sometimes! That's why I am happy to say you only need to invest about 5 minutes of your time in whipping this dish up.

    Step One: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. and prepare an 8x8 baking dish by greasing it.

    Step Two: Mix together the oats, almond milk, egg whites, and sweetener.

    Step Three: Pour the oat mixture into the baking pan and top with frozen cherries.

    Step Four: Bake for 50-55 minutes or until it is firm when you touch the center and the edges have turned golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

    Optional Baked Cherry Oatmeal Variations

    Trust me; when you take that first forkful of oats and bite into it, you are going to fall in love. However, if you are in the mood for other flavors, you can certainly adjust the flavors. Let's take a peek at a few ideas:

    • Berries - Not in the mood for cherries? No problem, this recipe goes fabulous with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries too.
    • Nuts - Add some crushed pecans, walnuts, or almonds to the mixture. It's going to give you an extra bit of crispiness, and it's so good. Plus, it will provide you with some added nutrients too.
    • Cinnamon & Spices - Whether it's a dash of cinnamon or you are in the mood for pumpkin pie spice, sprinkle some in the batter. It's a fun way to change the way it tastes. Just do ½ - 1 teaspoon, so it's too overpowering to the baked cherry oatmeal.

    Can You Eat Oatmeal On Keto?

    Technically, oats are a grain which makes them not ideal for a keto diet. However, if you are not on a strict keto diet, you can have them occasionally while eating low carb. You just need to make sure they fit into your macros.

    This baked cherry oatmeal is baked in an 8x8 pan, so to get 12 pieces, they will be smaller. This is great because you get a taste without going overboard. It's completely up to you to see if you can fit it into your plan. Each of the 12 pieces has 13.2 net carbs so while this recipe won't work for keto it can definitely work for low carb if you are just trying to stick to 40-60 net carbs a day.

    Are Oats Actually Gluten-Free?

    Yes, oatmeal is naturally gluten-free. The problem arises when it's cross-contaminated in the factory where it is prepared. If you end up with stomach problems from even the smallest amount of gluten, it's important to buy certified gluten-free. Then there is no worry if it's going to upset your stomach.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups old fashioned oats (use gluten-free if desired)
    • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    • 1 cup egg whites
    • ½ cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
    • 1 lb frozen cherries
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 baking dish.
    • Combine oats, almond milk, egg whites, and sweetener.
    • Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan. Top with the cherries.
    • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until firm to the touch in the center and golden around the edges.

    Notes

    Nutrition: This recipe has 12 pieces. There are 13.2 NET carbs per square. For THM, you can have 2 pieces for one serving.
    To Reheat: Place the oatmeal in a baking dish and cover it with a piece of tin foil. Warm in an oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until it's hot. You can also microwave it for 30 seconds - 1 minute or until hot. 
    To Freeze: Wrap the oatmeal in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer container or bag. It will last for up to 3 months. 
    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

      Any idea how to substitute allulose? I am just trying to use this new sweetener and have no idea how it compares to Gentle Sweet.

        Sure, for allulose I'd use a little more than the amount listed. It isn't as sweet since it doesn't contain stevia.
