Brown Sugar Baked Oatmeal is a deliciously belly-warming way to start the day!
A simple mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon is combined with oats, milk, and eggs and baked until golden! Serve this with a splash of milk or cream and some fresh fruit for the perfect breakfast.
From blueberry-baked oatmeal to overnight oats & peanut butter oatmeal bars, oatmeal is a hearty breakfast made with just a handful of ingredients you probably already have on hand!
What is Baked Oatmeal?
Baked oatmeal is a heartier version of regular quick boiled oatmeal. This version comes out delicious with a little bit of a sweet crust.
We love it because it’s easy to make (and reheat) and easily feeds a crowd!
Add in your favorite fruits, nuts, or even chocolate chips!
Ingredients/Variations
OATMEAL
Old fashioned oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, eggs, milk, butter & vanilla are all mixed together to create the oatmeal.
TOPPING
Brown sugar, oats, and butter are combined and sprinkled on top of the oat mixture for a sweet crumble.
VARIATIONS
Add fresh berries, chocolate chips, bananas, apples, or peaches for a fun twist! For a delicious Fall flavor spice it up with a sprinkle of apple pie or pumpkin pie spice.
