Doin' Some Cooking... Almond Butter Oatmeal

Belly-stuffing-baked-oatmeal. Yes, baked oatmeal.  Two of my coworkers had never heard of baking oatmeal. I'd like to pretend that I knew about this method before this point but I didn't. This oatmeal is baked with eggs, almond butter, and soy milk. Protein-packed to keep you satisfied until lunch and best part of all, it's similar to a casserole so that means plenty of leftovers and very little thought needed when packing breakfast for work.

Makes 6 Servings

Stars of the Show:

• 2 cups steel cut oats
• 2 tsp cinnamon

And Action:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. In the baking dish, mix steel cut oats, cinnamon, eggs, soy milk, water, and almond butter together. Bake for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Drizzle with the agave nectar.
