Baked Oatmeal

This is a great recipe to make when you need to feed a crowd. It is also easy to make ahead of time and pop in the oven in the morning for a quick breakfast!

Makes one 9×13″ casserole dish

6 C. oats (rolled or quick oats)

6 eggs

2 1/2 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

1 t. cinnamon, optional

6 T. imitation vanilla (or 3 T. real vanilla)

1 & 1/2, or 2 C. brown sugar, sucanat* or honey

1/2 C. oil

milk (enough to make it pourable, but NOT too soupy…more like brownie batter consistency)

optional additions: blueberries, chopped apple, nuts, raisins, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray casserole dish with non-stick cooking oil. Mix everything (except milk) together in bowl. Add milk until desired consistency. Pour into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until center is cooked through and is solid enough to cut into slices. Baked oatmeal can be served solo, or served with yogurt and topped with fresh fruit.

*Sucanant is a minimally processed natural cane sugar, so it keeps more of its molasses content and flavor. It tastes similar to brown sugar, but is generally considered healthier. If using sucanat you may need to add a little extra milk so it doesn’t get too dried out.

  2. Looks great! Here’s my version:

    Strawberries & Cream Baked Oatmeal
    Serves 8
    Work time: 30 min
    Total time: 1 hr 25 min

    Ingredients
    20 oz frozen sliced strawberries (if these are sweetened, omit the additional sugar; may substitute fresh strawberries)
    3 Tbsp butter
    1.5 tsp baking powder
    1.5 tsp cardamom
    ¾ tsp cinnamon
    ¾ tsp salt
    3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
    2 eggs
    ½ cup sugar
    2 cups heavy cream or milk
    1 Tbsp vanilla extract
    ¼ cup slivered almonds

    Directions
    Defrost the strawberries.
    Melt the 3 Tbsp butter.
    Grease a 13 x 9 baking dish with additional butter.
    Preheat the oven to 350.
    In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to break up any lumps, then add the oats.
    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the other wet ingredients: sugar, cream, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix the melted butter well before it sets.
    Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.
    Add the strawberries and mix gently.
    Pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle almonds on top.
    Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center has stopped puffing.
    Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

  3. We love baked oatmeal. The first time I had it was at with Mennonite family and I knew I had to make it for my own family. Thank you for posting!
