Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Reviewed on May. 16, 2013 by mamalou04

Every since I found this recipe, I have eaten it for breakfast at least 4 times a week. I divide the oatmeal into 9 squares and freeze them. My favorite way is with blueberries, strawberries and warm milk, but it is delicious by itself. You are going to love it!

This came out well. I made a few adjustments. Cut the sugar from 1 to 1/2 cup. Instead of butter, I used 1/4 cup oil and then mashed up one ripe banana. I also used regular oats instead of quick cooking, because it's all I had, and it didn't seem to be a problem. Also used 1 cup light vanilla soy milk instead of regular milk.

Baked oatmeal is a family favorite. One alternative to this is to omit the cinnamon, cut the sugar to 2/3 c. and cut the butter to 3 T. After baking, serve warm with butter and maple syrup. Delicious!

I added 1/4 cup coconut, 1/4 cup Craisins and spread peanut butter on top when it was still warm. Also made it in 9x13 pan and set really well. Very good!

Cut sugar back to 2/3 c, and it was sweet enough. Added 1/2 tsp. maple extract and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract. YUM! Second time I made it I switched 1/2 of the quick oats for rolled and added frozen blueberries. Even more YUM!!!

I really want to try it with some fruit mixed in, but this is great! Only way I'll eat oatmeal! Sister made it for Christmas and as I was surprised how much I liked it. Partner requested it as soon as we got back home.

Grandkids loved it. I mixed it up the night before for convenience and to let the oats soak up the liquid. My granddaughters have requested that next time I add apples or pumpkin.

This was soooooo yummy. The perfect chilly morning breakfast. So much better than plain old oatmeal. I used old fashioned oats and it worked equally well--just a little heartier.

This has a fantastic taste...but, I guess mine wasn't set...it wasn't firm at all...just sort of mealy...I just added some milk and raisins to it the next morning and it tasted great. Is it supposed to be firm?

I love baked oatmeal! Here is my lower fat version - 2 c rolled oats, 1 c quick cooking oats, 1/2 c packed brown sugar, 2 t baking powder, 1 T cinnamon, 2 egg equiv. (egg beaters), 1 c milk, 1/4 c oil, 1/4 c applesauce (I use chunky homemade that I freeze in 1/4 cup amounts) I have also made choc. chip, banana, crushed pineapple, peach, dried cherry and almond. So many options!

I was thinking this recipe was going to end up being more like a crunchy bar, but mine ended up very moist - almost like a coffee cake. I really like the flavors, it just isn't what I was looking for.

I first found a 'baked oatmeal' recipe about 3 weeks ago, made it, and it was a total hit! My husband would usually just not even try something like this but he did and loves it! I just made our third recipe which is the same as this one except oil instead of butter. I also add raisins (after microwaving them with a little water for 1 minute to make them soft). Such a good breakfast! I also cut it up into bars, freeze them, put them in a bowl cover them with milk then microwave for a minute and half. So good!

This was so YUM!!! I ended up substituting a banana for the 2 eggs because I was out of eggs. Tasted great! Topped this with sliced/skinned apples that I sauteed in butter, 2 tsp vanilla & a couple dashes of cinnamon. Did I mention it was YUM??!!!

Another way to serve this is to put it into the crock pot overnight using steel cut oats instead of instant. Then you don't have to get up early to put it into the oven!

YES! YES! YES! Hubby and I had something similar at a diner in PA - baked in individual ramekins. The waitress said their recipe was "oats, brown sugar, milk, etc." No fruit. Have not been able to find a baked oatmeal recipe that didn't contain fruit - until now. Thank you!

I've also made this for years. Make in a 9x13 pan...with the less sugar and 1/4 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup butter plus vanilla. Add raisins and walnuts. This make 8 nice sized servings. We always send this frozen with family who are flying home from a visit. Good travel food also. The old-fashioned oats make a completely different and better texture than the quick oats..

I have made this recipe for 10 years and every time I make it for someone who has not had it, they ask for the recipe. My sister, who never bakes, once made it in the middle of the night b/c she had to have it. It is a wonderful mixture of sweet and moist and satisfying. I always really pack the brown sugar and even mound it so that it's sweet enough. What's also great is that so many people have never had anything like it, and so you feel like you're making something new and special. It's fabulous!

Excellent results and so easy to make. Based on the feedback of others, I modified the original recipe by using 1/2 cup applesauce instead of the butter, reducing sugar to 2/3 cup, adding two chopped apples, increasing the cinnamon to 1.5 teaspoons and using skim milk. When it came out of the oven, I drizzled just a bit of maple syrup over it. I've been looking for a recipe like this for a long time and was thrilled to find it.

I made this recipe this morning, thought it sounded like a great snow day breakfast. The only change I made was a sprinkling of cinnamon-sugar before baking. I served with a drizzle of heavy cream, and fresh fruit. It was perfect! Even the picky-eater, my 12 year old daughter, gave it a thumbs up. This will be a standard at our house from now on. I think I might add a drizzle of homemade glaze next time to mix it up. Raisins mixed in might also be good, but is great as is!

Jano145, I don't think you need to portion it out in bowls. If you baked it in a 9X9 pan like the recipe calls for, it'd be pretty easy to cut it into 9 pieces(3 rows X 3 columns), and then each serving would be a 3X3 square. Hope this helps.
