Ingredients:
- 2 large oranges, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with a little butter to ensure your bake doesn’t stick.
- Prepare the Oranges: In a saucepan, combine the orange slices, orange juice, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Assemble the Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Arrange the orange slices on top of the batter, spreading them out evenly. Pour any remaining orange juice mixture over the top.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the Orange Breakfast Bake cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the refreshing, zesty flavors that will brighten your morning.
This Orange Breakfast Bake is not only delicious but also a wonderful way to start your day with a burst of vitamin C and natural sweetness.
