Am I oatmeal crazy? Because in my opinion, that oatmeal crazy may just be the best kind of crazy.
Now before you all go oatmeal bashing, I think that you shouldn’t judge this plain Jane breakfast until you have tried it baked.
I have been making so many oatmeal recipes on my blog when I noticed that I haven’t actually made just a plain, no frills, baked oatmeal. So this recipe is definitely way past due.
Plus, now I can pretend to be one of those bloggers that preps all their meals for the week. I definitely want to be that blogger..
Though this is not my favorite oatmeal (which is currently my ginger nectarine baked oatmeal).
This recipe (unlike my favourite oatmeal recipe above) can be made year round. And I really hope you make it year round. I certainly will! It is a solid, no fail breakfast.
Okay, actually maybe not no fail. The first time I made this, I forgot to add the sugar. Biggest mistake ever. It tasted awful!
So let’s clarify this recipe, so that you don’t make it wrong like I did. All you need is:
- oats
- brown and white sugar
- milk
- butter
- egg
- baking powder
- salt
- vanilla extract
- cinnamon
That’s it! So simple, and so delicious.

I totally am a no frills oatmeal kinda gal so this recipe is perfect for me! I’ll make sure not to forget the sugar though haha I bet that it wouldn’t have been very good!
Yeah! I won’t be doing that again!
My life changed the day I had baked oatmeal for the first time. I just love it! And completely agree that we should all have a plain baked oatmeal recipe in our repertoire. So many options for add-ons!
Right?? It is one of the best ways to make it 😉
Love love love oatmeal and I can have it savory and sweet…anytime 😉
Good idea of baked oatmeal, I have never tried it.

I still have yet to try baked oatmeal. Gosh, it looks delicious!
Mmmm, I love how we share the love and enthusiasm for oats! 😀 But it is so versatile and once it is toasting in the oven accompanied with cinnamon? The flat is filled with the amazing scent ^ ^ Thanks for the recipe, and have a lovely weekend 😀 xx
love baked oatmeal!! and this one sounds so delish! <3
I do a blueberry banana baked oatmeal and I never want to share. I think I'd be in the same boat with yours! Yum!
Oatmeal crazy IS the best kind of crazy! I so love that I am not the only one OD'ing on it! And yay – another recipe to ad to my oatmeal collection – thank you!
I do my part in keeping oatmeal companies in business – I love it and eat it all the time. But how have I never had baked oatmeal! I love this basic version. Looks cozy and delicious.
I need more oatmeal in my life!
I adore baked oatmeal too. I could eat them every single meal and every day if they were so loaded with carb. This looks great, Cathleen.
