Amish Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk (preferably anything but skim)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or packed light-brown sugar*
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups rolled oats (quick oats works fine too)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together milk, eggs, maple syrup or brown sugar, butter, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
  • Mix in oats.
  • Pour into prepared baking dish and spread evenly**.
  • Bake in preheated oven 30 - 40 minutes until set.
  • Let cool slightly then cut into squares and serve warm with fresh fruit, nuts, milk, a little cream or half and half, maple syrup or honey if desired.

Notes

  • *Sweetener amount can be adjusted to taste, I recommend using at least 1/4 cup (mildly sweet) and no more than 3/4 cup (really sweet).
  • **Oatmeal mixture can be refrigerated overnight if desired, then remove from fridge and let rest at room temperature 20 minutes while oven preheats and bake as directed.
  • Nutrition estimate based on using low-fat milk.
