Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Bake

  • 2 3/4 cups oatmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: Stir in the oatmeal, baking powder, and ground cinnamon into the wet mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined, forming your oatmeal batter.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the oatmeal batter sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquids and thicken slightly.
  5. Bake the oatmeal: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
  6. Make the icing: While the oatmeal is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if too thick, or more powdered sugar if too thin.
  7. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares, then drizzle generously with the icing. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
  • Substitute coconut oil for butter to make the dish dairy-free.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the maple syrup or brown sugar slightly.
  • The icing can be flavored with a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra taste.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
