Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or butter
Streusel Topping
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup almond flour or all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This mixture forms the base of the baked oatmeal and distributes the spices evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter. These wet ingredients bind the oats and add moisture, sweetness, and flavor.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. Then, transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond or all-purpose flour, brown or coconut sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter or coconut oil and use your fingers or a fork to blend it into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.
- Top and Bake: Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the oatmeal. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. This lets it firm up for easier slicing and enhances the flavors.
Notes
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- This recipe is great for meal prep, providing a quick grab-and-go breakfast option during busy mornings.
