Baked Oatmeal is a quick and easy way to make a bowl of oatmeal for the whole family. It's an all-in-one casserole made with oats, milk, maple syrup or honey, eggs, and flavorings. Made with ingredients from your pantry, baked oatmeal is a great alternative to packaged instant oatmeal and offers a lot more texture and flavor.
The taste possibilities are limitless. Admixtures can include a cup or two of berries, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, raisins or currants, dried cranberries or chopped dates, or the addition of another fresh or frozen (thawed) fruit. You can also add mashed ripe bananas or about 1/4 cup applesauce to the mixture, or add a few tablespoons of your favorite fruit preserves just before baking.
Baked oatmeal is generally gluten-free, but always check the label on your oatmeal to be sure. If you want, you can even make the dish vegan by using non-dairy milk and an egg substitute. Serve baked oats with yogurt or drizzle with fresh fruit syrup.
“This recipe is like overnight oats but baked, warm and delicious. I love that you can mix and match different flavors here or make the portion at the beginning of the week and have a hot to-go breakfast every morning. I would definitely make this recipe again.” – Tracy Wilk
