Baked Oatmeal
This hearty baked oatmeal is easy to prepare and versatile! With very little added sugar, you can feel great starting your day with this healthy option. If you want things sweeter, add some flavorful toppings like those suggested below.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 Tbsp sugar see note below
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cups chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9x9 inch or 7x11 inch pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Then add the beaten eggs, milk, and vanilla and mix well.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the oat mixture and stir until combined. Also add nuts or mini chocolate chips, if using. Pour into the prepared glass pan and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes. The top should be golden brown and the middle should be set.
- Let cool slightly and enjoy plain, with extra toppings (shown below), or with milk.
Notes
This baked oatmeal is not overly sweet. If you prefer sweeter oatmeal, increase sugar to 3 Tbsp.
I used regular milk for this recipe, but you may also substitute non-dairy milk, such as soy milk or almond milk.
