Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the oatmeal evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir well to distribute the baking powder and spices evenly.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly to ensure all the oats are moistened and the batter becomes uniform in texture.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking, then pour the oatmeal mixture evenly into the dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts or raisins to the mixture before baking to add extra texture and flavor.
- Leftover baked oatmeal can be reheated quickly for an easy, ready-made breakfast option.
