What Is Baked Oatmeal?

This recipe is exactly what the title says, oatmeal that is baked instead of cooked stove top. Often referred to as amish baked oatmeal, this recipe combines oats with a custard type liquid giving you the most incredible soft and fluffy breakfast bake. The texture is nothing like the microwave packets we’ve all grown to love, but more like a spongy cake.

Best topped with a splash of milk or cream and your favorite berries, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. AND, like overnight oats, you can even make it ahead of time!

Baked Oatmeal Breakfast

I really wanted these baked oats without banana added in. While I personally love the fruit, it’s not one that goes over well with my teen. I opted to use sugar as a sweetener, which can be substituted. Everything else called for are basic kitchen staples, which means you can start this recipe NOW!

• Quick Cooking Oats: Rolled oats won’t soak up as much of the egg and milk mixture, leaving you with a slightly tougher finish.
• Brown Sugar: Optionally, you can substitute this with maple syrup. We prefer the traditional brown sugar oatmeal flavor.
• Baking Powder and Salt: Be sure to double check the expiration date of the baking powder. Using fresh ingredients will make a difference.
• Cinnamon– Just a dash goes a long way in boosting the flavor.
• Eggs: Large eggs give structure to the filling, and help provide that light sponge cake texture.
• Milk: 2% is our go-to, however you could always substitute this for your favorite milk variety.
• Butter: Another optional, but extremely tasty addition.
• Blueberries (or other fruit)- Bake the fruit right in to the oats or offer them as a topping. We like to do the latter, since we all prefer different fruits in our breakfast, but nothing beats a blueberry baked oatmeal.

How to Make Oatmeal in the Oven

1. PREP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and mist a 9×13 pan with baking spray.
2. MIX: Stir together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, eggs, 1 cup milk, melted butter, and blueberries and spread into the prepared pan.
3. BAKE: Bake the mixture for 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the oats do not jiggle.
4. SERVE: Serve with a sprinkle of sugar, additional milk, or fresh fruit!
