Easy Amish Baked Oatmeal

8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (see note for quick oats)
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups dairy or non-dairy milk (see note)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter or oil (see note)
  • Toppings: additional milk, berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, etc

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (Skip this step right now if making the oatmeal overnight.)

  2. 2

    Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan (or smaller pan for thicker oatmeal). Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    In another bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and butter or oil.

  5. 5

    Add the wet ingredients to the oats mixture and stir to combine.

  6. 6

    Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake (up to 24 hours) or bake right away.

  7. 7

    Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the oatmeal is set. Serve warm with additional toppings.
