Ingredients
3 cups Rolled oats
1 cup Whole milk
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup Brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Cinnamo
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Optional add-ins: raisins, nuts, or blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and set
- Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with milk or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; do not use instant oats.
Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture.
Let the baked oatmeal rest for 5 minutes after baking to help it set.
For a creamier texture, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk.
