Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F
In a medium bowl, combine the steel cut oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix together
In a separate bowl whisk together milk, 1/2 cup cream,1/4 cup strawberry fruit spread, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract and melted butter
Pour the wet mixture over the steel cut oat mixture and stir.
Spray the 8"inch pie pan or 8"x8" baking dish with non-stick spray and place the chopped strawberries in the bottom. Evenly pour the oat mixture over the top of the strawberries. Give the pan a gentle shake to help spread the oats evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Check at 35 minutes, if the top is looking too brown, cover with foil and continue baking
Optional: after the baking is complete, I like to broil the top for just a few minutes to get the top extra brown. For extra texture, turbinado sugar could be sprinkled over the top for a brûléed effect.
For Strawberry Whipped Cream
Add 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup strawberry fruit spread, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt to a bowl and beat with a whisk attachment until soft glossy peaks. Serve immediately over the top of the baked oats.
