Blended Strawberry Oats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Oat Mixture

01 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
02 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 - 1 ½ cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if needed)
04 - ¼ teaspoon salt
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - ⅔ cup regular or plant-based milk
07 - ¼ cup strawberry jam

→ Frosting (Optional)

08 - Colorful sprinkles, if you'd like
09 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 1/3 cup powdered sugar
11 - 1 tablespoon milk

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven heated to 350°F. Coat a rectangular baking dish (around 7.5x6 inches) with some cooking spray to stop sticking, then set it nearby.
02 - Use a food processor or blender to blitz the oats until they turn into a fine, floury texture.
03 - Add milk, eggs, salt, baking powder, and vanilla into the blender with the oats. Blend just until it all comes together and has a slight thickness.
04 - Pour half the batter into the baking dish and smooth it out. Gently spread the jam on top, keeping some batter visible along the edges. Add the rest of the batter on top and smooth it out.
05 - Put the dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should be golden. Cool it for 5 minutes before cutting.
06 - Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Spread it over the cooled oats and sprinkle some colorful bits for fun, if you’d like.

# Notes:

01 - Grinding the oats makes the texture smoother and more uniform.
02 - When adding the jam layer, leave the edges of the oats bare so it bakes evenly.
03 - Take the oats out once the edges are lightly browned so they don't dry out.
