This is the kind of baked oatmeal that actually earns the word wholesome — not because it’s trying to be virtuous, but because every ingredient is doing something real. Buttermilk softens the oats and adds a gentle tang. Olive oil replaces the butter for a lighter, slightly fruity richness. Maple sweetens without tipping into dessert.

A quick strawberry chia jam — just a pint of strawberries, lemon juice, and maple, mashed and cooked down — gets dolloped over the top before it goes in the oven, sinking slightly into the oatmeal as it bakes. A three-nut crumble of walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds olive oil and maple goes over that, toasting and candying as it bakes. Serve warm with crème fraîche and a drizzle of maple alongside.
