Ingredients
- Rolled Oats: Rolled oats or old-fashioned oats hold their shape better and have a better texture. You can use quick oats in a pinch but they may turn mushy. Or for a spin on this recipe, try baked quinoa!
- Milk: Use your favorite milk. Non-dairy milks work well in this recipe!
- Brown Sugar: You can reduce if you prefer your baked oatmeal less sweet or are trying to reduce sugar for little ones.
- Butter
- Eggs: Adds protein and helps bind the oat together.
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
- Baking Powder
- Salt
You will also need a mixing bowl and a 9 x 9-inch baking pan to make this oatmeal bake.
Baked Oatmeal Variations

Ayla’s Tip: Bake right away once you’ve mixed together. The longer the mixture sits before baking the more milk the oats will soak up and risk becoming mushy.
That’s it! In just a few simple steps breakfast will be on the table.
