I first heard about baked oatmeal from this blog. And, apparently, this recipe is included in Heidi Swanson’s cookbook Super Natural Daily. I have not yet gotten a chance to check out this cookbook, but I really want to as I absolutely love to read her food blog.
It’s awesome. She seems really cool. That’s that.
Anyway… baked oatmeal. Yes. So you know how macaroni and cheese is good but then one day you try baked macaroni and cheese and it’s, like, way better.
Yeah.
That’s what baked oatmeal is like. I think it might be a new favorite of mine. Delish.
After making this the other morning I would say that the main thing I learned (other than the fact that baked oatmeal is awesome) is to make sure your butter is all the way melted and to try to truly evenly coat the oats with the egg/butter mixture before baking. Yes this dish is going to look rustic anyway, but these little steps do matter to the presentation.
Turns out.
Oops.
Baked Oatmeal, makes 1 bread loaf pan full. Serves around 4.
Needed: 1 3/4 cups oatmeal, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of sea salt, 1/2 cup cream, 1 1/3 cup milk, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1-2 bananas and 1 cup berries (I used blue berries).
*Note: this recipe usually contains nuts. I think you should totally include some nuts. I forgot to buy anyway. I’m a dork.
In a bowl combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and sugar.
In a separate bowl combine the cream, milk, egg, melted (and slightly cooled) butter and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
In a greased baking dish line the bottom with sliced banana. Spread the oat mixture above this in an even layer. Pour the egg/milk mixture over this. Try to really coat every oat. Add berries over the top.
Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes. Enjoy with coffee or tea in the morning with the ones you love. (This last part is just a suggestion. But it’s totally for your own good, so go for it.)

“aluminum free baking powder”? you’re pointing something out I was totally unaware of! Thank you.
So sad I’m allergic to oats, this looks delicious. I can always try with other flaked cereals I guess!
This sounds absolutely heavenly!!! Especially for the cool mornings we’re having in Utah lately. <3 Thank you for posting! ^_^
I do love baked oatmeal. I love oatmeal in the winter too. I can’t ever bring myself to eat it unless it’s really cold out. XO, RaeVeda

P.S. I am posting the same message on your sis’s blog, as she is also a blog crush of mine…
I loved Red Velvet’s booth at Renegade! My sister and a few friends were there this afternoon. You are such a beauty! I hope you had fun in Chicago and have a safe trip home
looks and sounds amazing!

wow, this looks delicious! and by the way, you should definitely make your own cookbook as well
I want to be able to forward Mashable’s or Engadgets, or Techcrunch’s blog post titles to my blog. Just the titles, not the actually blog part. Is this in any way possible?.
That looks so incredibly yummy! I will have to do a little tweaking to the recipe, because my husband is allergic to bananas (I feel so bad for him!)…might add some more berries or something. Maybe I will make him breakfast in bed Saturday, because it’s definitely going to be a homebody weekend for us!
I made baked oatmeal this weekend too! I tried it with apple and nutmeg and was just as delicious as the berry version. Very very tasty!

I keep meaning to make baked oatmeal for a weekend breakfast and end up never having what I need in the house and then not wanting to go to the grocery store. I guess I shouldn’t be so lazy, but there you have it! I like adding bananas and berries and cream. I’ll have to get my lazy butt to the store so I can try this one out!
Looks delicious!
looks yummy, but a bitch to clean! yes, that is how this debbie downer works. lol

that looks so good! I randomly got the McDonalds oatmeal…it was so good I’ve been looking for other way to eat oatmeal. I’ll definitely have to give this a try!
This looks and sounds absolutely delicious.
What is the difference between regular baking powder and aluminum free?
Looks good! We always make baked oatmeal for christmas morning. Our recipe started with apples, and now we add a mixture of apples and blueberries served with fresh raspberries and vanilla yogurt! Never christmas morning without it.
i love oatmeal…especially in the autumn.
unfortunately my husband hates it..he says it is to slimy for him.
BUT…i think this recipe might work for him.
Wow I love oatmeal and love to try new ways of eating it
Thanks
I tried a similar recipe recently and it was wonderful. Definitely going to be a breakfast staple this fall and winter. I’ll give this recipe a whirl next time.
I’m a baked oatmeal addict, though I’m totally in love with just plain cinnamon baked oatmeal. Soooo good. I’ve been meaning to try a baked oatmeal with shredded zucchini but I hate waking up in the mornings which means I never end up having time for stuff like that.
The more I look at this variation of the treat, the better it looks, though!

Oh holy yes. I’mma make me some in the morning. :]
This looks really good…I love oatmeal…I am going to have to try this soon and I must say that the blueberries would be so yummy.
Tried it this morning and it was incredible. My favorite part was the custardy, kind of caramel like goodness happening with the bananas. Just wonderful.
Bookmarking this to make sometime this week! It seems like the perfect breakfast as the cooler weather sets in and autumn arrives. Thank you!
So my husband just said to me “are you looking at food again? You’re making yummy noises.”
Oooops.
In my defense, this does look pretty yummy.
Looks so delicious!
Kisses from Hong Kong,

Yum yum yum. This is a must-try.
This looks really tasty. I have to try it
This looks wonderful…
I would love to find a way to make this without as many calories. I wonder what it would be like to replace the sugar and butter with something else? Probably not as good for sure. ^_^
oh my STARS this was amazing. i’ve never done baked oatmeal before and you totally inspired me. i think i might just have to have some every day
Hi there, Needed to ask you one thing. Is this a wordpress blog page? I will be considering changing my blog from Blogger to wordpress, do you think this can be probable? Additionally did you set up this unique template by yourself some how? Thanks for your assistance!
Yes, this is a wordpress blog. The design was created by Moorea of Freckled Nest design.
Oh wow!
We’re hosting Christmas breakfast for the first time this year, as part of family tradition we ALWAYS have oatmeal (or porridge as we call it) for breakfast… totally mixing it up this year with this recipe! Looks incredible!
xx
Ok I finally tried the recipe out this morning and oh.my.gosh…..so amazing! The best oatmeal I’ve ever had! I didn’t want to share it at all! I can’t wait to make it again!
