Description

This Amish Baked Oatmeal recipe offers a comforting and hearty breakfast option that is both simple to prepare and delicious. Combining rolled oats with milk, eggs, and warming spices, it bakes into a soft, sliceable dish perfect for feeding the whole family. It’s a great alternative to traditional mushy oatmeal and can be enjoyed warm with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.


Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk (preferably anything but skim)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups rolled oats (quick oats works fine too)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Set the dish aside while you prepare the mixture.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup (or brown sugar), melted butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add Oats: Stir the rolled oats into the wet mixture thoroughly, ensuring all oats are coated and blended into the batter evenly.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula or spoon to create a uniform layer.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the mixture is set and a bit golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before cutting it into squares. Serve warm with optional toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, milk, cream, half and half, maple syrup, or honey according to preference.

Notes

  • This recipe offers a simple, delicious way to enjoy oatmeal with a firm, sliceable texture instead of mush.
  • It’s family-friendly and perfect for meal prepping; you can prepare the dish the night before, refrigerate it, and bake it the following morning.
  • Before baking in the morning, remove from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats for best results.
