Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Baked oatmeal is a hearty, nutritious, and versatile dish perfect for breakfast or brunch. It's warm, slightly sweet, and can be customized with your favorite fruits, nuts, and spices.

Ingredients

Serves 6-8

  • Dry Ingredients:

    • 2 cups rolled oats
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

  • Wet Ingredients:

    • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/3 cup maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil

  • Add-Ins (Optional):

    • 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., berries, diced apples, or bananas)
    • ½ cup nuts or seeds (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds)
    • ¼ cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (e.g., raisins or cranberries)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup (or sweetener of choice), vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in your chosen add-ins, such as fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.

5. Assemble and Bake:

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Add extra fruit, nuts, or toppings on top if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the oatmeal is set.

6. Cool and Serve:

Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice into squares or scoop it out with a spoon. Serve warm with a drizzle of milk, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.

Tips and Variations

  • Make It Ahead: Prepare the mixture the night before and refrigerate. In the morning, bake it fresh (add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if cold).
  • Vegan Option: Use plant-based milk, flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg), and coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Gluten-Free: Ensure the oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

This baked oatmeal is perfect for meal prep, a comforting breakfast, or a healthy treat that feels indulgent. Enjoy! 🌾✨
