- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 cup fresh or frozen berries, or 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, gently fold in the berries or chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This is key to achieving a sliceable texture.
Notes
- For a moister texture, you can add an extra tablespoon of milk or a mashed banana to the batter.
- To prevent a rubbery texture, avoid overmixing the batter.
- Baked oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or toaster oven.
- Consider this a great alternative to traditional meal planning services.
