Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 cups quick oats (“instant oats”)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (I use 2%)
  • 2 medium apples, grated (you do not need to peel them)
  • For serving: warm milk or cream, brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, nuts, fresh fruit

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Whisk together butter, eggs and brown sugar.
  3. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  4. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until set. Slice and serve with warm milk and other toppings, if desired.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 6-8 large servings. If you're feeding a smaller family, you can cut all of the ingredients in half and bake the oatmeal in an 8-inch square pan for about 35-40 minutes.

  • Use whole milk (or at least 2% milk). You need some fat in the custard for the best flavor and texture. If you don’t like dairy milk, then coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, and almond milk will also be okay.

  • The cooking time will vary, depending on the size and type of your dish. For instance, oatmeal in a cast iron skillet, metal, or dark pan will bake much faster than oatmeal in a ceramic or glass pan. Just keep an eye on it and remove the dish when the outside of the oatmeal is golden brown and the inside is set.

  • Garnish with plenty of toppings for more variety and extra flavor. A drizzle of honey, a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream, or a splash of warm milk or cream, juicy fresh berries, sweet sliced bananas, crunchy nuts, and an extra dash of cinnamon are all great options.
