Notes:

  • Baked oatmeal creates a perfect base for additional mix-ins or toppings. Mix in blueberries, chocolate chips, etc. before baking.
  • Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top of the baked oatmeal after baking, or serve with maple syrup, get creative!
  • We prefer quick oats for this recipe as they are more creamy/custardy. If you prefer a more textured oatmeal old fashioned oats are better suited.
