INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 356ºF.
  • Brush the baking dish or mini cast iron cocottes with coconut oil. Set aside.
  • Slice the kumquats in quarters, take the seeds out and cut the middle white pith. Coarsely dice the slices.
  • Add all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well to incorporate all the ingredients uniformly.
    Add the cranberries and the kumquats to dry ingredients. Set aside.
  • Whisk all the wet ingredients in another bowl.
    Grate the apple into the wet mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients until well combined.
  • Distribute the mixture evenly if using individual baking dishes (about three heaped tablespoons in each) or pour the mixture into the baking dish — level with the spatula.
  • Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until it is puffed up a bit, there is no liquid in the baking dish, and the fruits have burst and are thoroughly cooked - Note 1.
    Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • To make the maple vanilla yogurt, mix all the ingredients in the bowl. Serve alongside the baked oatmeal - Note 2.

NOTES

  1. After about 25 minutes into the baking, check the oatmeal. One thing you don't want to do is to overbake it.
  2. For extra flavor, you can substitute coconut yogurt instead.
