How to Add Superfoods to Baked Oats
Continue the health kick by adding superfoods to your baked oats. Simply add your favorite nutrient-packed ingredients from berries to dark leafy greens to nuts for an energy-packed twist on the classic.
Berries are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. Whether you incorporate fresh berries or a powdered, dried, or syrup version you can still reap the benefits and add some sweetness. Try adding blueberries, elderberries, or Gogi berries for flavor that compliments the smooth, creamy baked vanilla oats.
Dark leafy greens are a great source of important vitamins like zinc, iron, and vitamin C. Incorporate them easily into your baked oats by adding veggies like kale, spinach, and collard greens as a powder, supplement, or fresh.
Nuts and seeds are a great source of protein and healthy fats. Sprinkle almonds, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, chia, or flax seeds on top to elevate your dish and add a bit of crunch.
Sweet and Indulgent Baked Oats for Any Occasion
For TikTok worthy, mouth-watering baked oats, try adding a layer of something sweet and indulgent like chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel.
