Have you tried baked oatmeal before? 🥣
How to Make ZEGO Oatmeal Bake
Ingredients
3 c your favorite flavor of ZEGO Muesli or rolled oats
1/3 c cane sugar or maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
scant 1/2 tsp fine-grain sea salt
2 c dairy-free milk
1 egg or substitute
3 tbs oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 bananas, cut into 1/2″ slices
1 1/2 c blueberries or mixed berries
Method
Preheat oven to 375 with a rack in the top third of the oven. Generously grease the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together the muesli/oats, the sugar (if using), baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (if using), the milk, egg, oil, and the vanilla.
Arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 2/3 of the berries on top. Cover the fruit with the oat mixture.
Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple thwacks on the countertop to make sure the milk moves through the oats. Scatter the remaining berries across the top.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the oat mixture has set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with a bit more sugar or drizzle with maple syrup, if you like.
Cool completely before cutting.
Enjoy! 😋

💡Did you know that ZEGO’s raw Double Protein Oats make a great gluten-free sourdough starter, and they do it MUCH faster than oatmeal and flours that are not raw? 🌾 As you can see in the picture, ZEGO’s oatmeal grows almost 1/3 more in just the first 18 hours. And, it’s easy to do if you follow the instructions below.
Using our sourdough starter also makes recipes even more digestible than using just our gut-friendly Double Protein Oats. Sourdough adds prebiotic fiber and adds leavening to your dough, making the fluffiest pancakes, muffins, waffles, and more! 😋
How to Make Sourdough Starter with Raw Oatmeal
🔸Put about ½ cup of oats and ½ cup of water in a glass jar and stir with a wooden spoon or chopstick (or your finger).
🔸Leave it in a somewhat warm place (70 degrees F) covered loosely with a towel. Stir each day with a wooden spoon or your finger (no metal) until you notice small bubbles on the surface. (This may happen right away. )
🔸Once you see the bubbles, stir, and take out half the starter. This is called your “discard.”
🔸Immediately add in another ½ cup oats and ½ cup water. This is called “feeding” your starter.
🔸Once or twice a day, repeat this process for about 5-7 days.
🔸You can start using the discard for baking or oatmeal if it has developed a sour-sweet smell like sourdough bread. If it has an “off” taste or smell, do not eat it. It isn’t ready yet, and it will give you a tummy ache!
🔷The starter can be kept in the fridge for 5 days before needing to be fed again.

So, what’s next for us? This year, we’re setting our sights on growth. We’re working on building a collaborative, vertically integrated value chain for Montana-grown, gluten-free specialty grains that are more sustainable for the planet and free from toxins and other harmful contaminants.
We’re working on building a more user-friendly transparency platform that will help consumers make informed purchases about the foods they buy.

⚠️📢 🚨 ALERT: The Examination.org, in collaboration with The New York Times and El Universo, released a report today concerning gaps in the U.S. food safety system. Lead-tainted cinnamon flavored applesauce pouches, intended for young children, slipped through checkpoints intended to protect consumers.
If you have products made for children containing cinnamon, we suggest not consuming them at this time. Instead, hold onto them until recalls are issued.
At ZEGO, we prioritize safety and transparency. Rest assured, our cinnamon is sourced from an organic supplier who tests for contaminants and we also test via a third party lab for heavy metals like lead and for other toxins and pesticides. You can view these test results by visiting our website or scanning the QR code on the package.

⚠️📢 🚨 ALERT: The Examination.org, in collaboration with The New York Times and El Universo, released a report today concerning gaps in the U.S. food safety system. Lead-tainted cinnamon flavored applesauce pouches, intended for young children, slipped through checkpoints intended to protect consumers.
If you have products made for children containing cinnamon, we suggest not consuming them at this time. Instead, hold onto them until recalls are issued.
At ZEGO, we prioritize safety and transparency. Rest assured, our cinnamon is sourced from an organic supplier who tests for contaminants and we also test via a third party lab for heavy metals like lead and for other toxins and pesticides. You can view these test results by visiting our website or scanning the QR code on the package.
