Description

This Baked Oatmeal recipe is a warm, comforting breakfast dish perfect for busy mornings. Featuring wholesome rolled oats combined with eggs, milk, and a hint of cinnamon, it bakes to a golden, set texture that’s deliciously satisfying. Lightly sweetened with brown sugar and enhanced with vanilla and melted butter, it offers a cozy, rustic start to your day that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing the baking dish)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×11 inch baking dish with melted butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, light brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Transfer and Bake: Pour the oatmeal batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the mixture is fully set, about 35 to 40 minutes.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm to enjoy a hearty, delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • You can customize your baked oatmeal by adding fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds before baking.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and butter with almond milk and coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat before serving.
  • This baked oatmeal reheats well and can be frozen in individual portions for quick breakfasts.
