Easy Amish Baked Oatmeal
Description
The Easy Amish Baked Oatmeal incorporates old-fashioned rolled oats mixed with brown sugar and baking powder to give structure and flavor. The wet ingredients include milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil, which combine to create a moist batter. Baking produces a creamy, soft oatmeal with a lightly crisp, golden crust along the edges.
The texture is tender with a granola-inspired softness from the oats. Maple syrup lends a gentle sweetness balanced by the brown sugar. The recipe's ability to be mixed and refrigerated overnight lets the oats absorb flavors before baking, making it convenient for advance preparation.
This baked oatmeal can be served warm topped with extra milk and fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced banana, and nuts for added texture. It provides a filling breakfast or brunch option and can be customized by adjusting sweeteners or adding favorite toppings.
Notes suggest using old-fashioned oats for the desired texture, though quick oats can be used for a softer result. Butter adds flavor when baking immediately, while oil helps prevent butter clumps for overnight refrigeration. Stir the chilled mixture before baking if refrigerated. Sweetener amounts are adjustable to taste.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats old-fashioned, see note for quick oats
- ½ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, or oil
- milk toppings: additional, sliced, chopped, etc
- Berry
- banana
- nut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (Skip this step right now if making the oatmeal overnight.)
- Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan (or smaller pan for thicker oatmeal). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
- In another bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and butter or oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the oats mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake (up to 24 hours) or bake right away.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the oatmeal is set. Serve warm with additional toppings.
Notes
- Old-fashioned rolled oats provide a soft, granola-like texture preferred for this baked oatmeal; quick oats yield a softer finish.
- Use melted butter for immediate baking for richer flavor; use oil if mixing the night before to prevent clumping in the refrigerator.
- If refrigerating overnight, stir the mixture before baking to redistribute ingredients evenly.
- Sweetener levels can be adjusted or substituted, but balance is important for flavor and texture.
