Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal

oats

tbsp chia seeds

milk of choice

eggs

zucchini (approx. 1 medium)

tbsp avocado oil

maple syrup

tbsp blackstrap molasses

tsp baking powder

tsp vanilla extract

cinnamon

ginger

nutmeg

allspice (can sub with ground cloves)

sugar

tbsp milk of choice

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Finely grate zucchini and place between paper towels or cheese cloth to remove excess moisture.

Add zucchini and all other oatmeal ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.

Pour mixture into a lightly greased 8x8 baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until top is lightly golden and oats are &quot;set&quot;.

To a mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until completely smooth. NOTE: for a thicker icing, reduce milk.

Once oatmeal has cooled slightly, drizzle icing over the top.

&quot;Icing&quot;

Then in a large bowl whisk together the pulsed oats, flour (1 ½ cups/188g), baking soda (1 ½ teaspoons), kosher salt (½ teaspoon), ground cinnamon (1 ½ teaspoons), ground ginger (1 teaspoon) and ground cloves (½ teaspoon).  Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with...

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or with a hand held mixer, cream together the unsalted butter (¾ cup/170g), dark brown sugar (½ cup/100g) and granulated sugar (¼ cup/50g) on medium speed (speed 6 on a KitchenAid mixer) for 2 minutes.  Scrape up and down the bowl and add in the egg (1 large), molasses (¼ cup/60mL/70g) and vanilla (2 teaspoons) and beat on medium until combined, about 1 minute.  Scrape the bowl if needed until combined.

Add the dry ingredients in two additions on low speed, mixing until just combined.  The dough will be thick and sticky.  Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (can chill for up to 2 days).  If chilled for longer than 1 hour, allow it to sit on the counter for 20 -30 minutes or the dough will be too hard.

Scoop the cookie dough, about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the edges are set.  The middles may look slightly underdone.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Once the cookies are cool, make the icing.  Place the confectioners’ sugar (1 cup/120g) in a small to medium size bowl.  Add the vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of milk.  Use a spoon to mix until combined, but it will not truly be a glaze yet as there isn’t enough liquid (see photo in the post if you need a visual).  Add only enough extra milk (I do ½ teaspoon at a time) until you have a very thick icing.

Very lightly dip the top of the cookie...

Very lightly dip the top of the cookie into the icing.  If you drop the cookie in, you will likely break it taking it out.  If you would rather, you can lightly spread the icing on the cookies as well.  The icing sets after a few hours.

excellent!!  I love oatmeal and these are wonderfully flavored!  Easy to make with the immersion blender too!!

Very good! I used fresh ginger, and it came out great :) Baking time was good, all directions were clear and complete. My family also liked them. I will try again with vacations (craisins, chocolate chips, nuts, etc) and various toppings. 😋

These are great to make ahead and take to work for breakfast throughout the week! I definitely baked mine for just a bit too long so they were a little tough but still vary tasty. It would be super easy to change up the spices and make whatever variation you wanted!

Loved these and so did my 2 year old. Great as left overs too with yogurt and honey on top.

I just made this for breakfast today!! What a winner! I subbed oat milk because my hubs is vegan, and it was still as creamy and dreamy as ever. Thank you so much for a delicious, inspiring recipe. Merry Christmas!

Halved this recipe since I was just looking for one serving, and it still came out delicious!! Perfect for a cozy fall or winter morning, will be making again!

Have made the microwave version of this and LOVE it. Substituted chopped dates for the sugar and molasses and used shredded coconut and slivered almonds to top. Devine. Perfect for a winter's day (July in NZ!)

Oh yum! This is going to be my next breakfast! Oatmeal is a favorite at our house and the flavors in this gingerbread oatmeal are so cozy!
