Baked Oatmeal Recipe: Hearty, Healthy and Delicious!

Want to know my number one requested recipe?

The one that when anyone tries it, they come crawling back for the directions on how to make it?

Lucky you, today I’m sharing with you my Baked Oatmeal recipe.

Baked Oatmeal Recipe: Hearty, Healthy and Delicious!

It’s moist, hearty, filling, husband approved, great for groups, and keeps you coming back for more. I love to make a batch and refrigerate it so I can nibble on it throughout the week. Just add a splash of milk before you warm it up in the microwave and you should be good to go.

I have played with the recipe a bit by adding flaxseed, different kinds of nuts, blueberries, or peaches. It really just depends on what I have on hand. It’s hard to go wrong with this baked oatmeal recipe.

I actually have two versions of the recipe. The first is the revised and healthier one and the second is the original. 

Baked Oatmeal: Revised and Healthier

I made this recipe healthier by using less sugar. To replace some of the sweetness, I added peaches and used coconut oil. I also added flaxseed.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup flaxseed (why eat flaxseed?)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup craisins
  • 1 large chopped apple
  • 1 chopped-up peach or about 2/3 cup of peach puree if using frozen peaches
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (if you don’t have coconut oil, vegetable oil will work but add a little more sugar to the recipe)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk

Directions

Mix all the dry ingredients and fruit together in a large bowl.

More Baked Oatmeal Dishes You’ll Love

If you enjoy baked oatmeal as much as our families do, give a few of these others a try. They all work well to freeze before baking, as well.

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is hearty, healthy, delicious, and fairly adaptable to whatever ingredients you have on hand. Plus, leftovers keep well in the fridge for several days. Serve it up as a tasty start to your day or as a “breakfast-for-dinner”, along with bacon and a fruit salad.

Notes/Tips

Freezer Meal Instructions:
Prepare recipe as normal, but do not bake. Cover casserole dish tightly in plastic wrap and/or foil and freeze. When ready to bake, thaw overnight in the fridge and then bake according to directions. It may take longer to bake if still cold or frozen in the middle. Cover with foil if it starts to brown on top too much.

    This is my solution for an expected hectic morning. Throwing a prepared oatmeal casserole into the oven can be such a help for overnight company or a busy morning on the farm.

      Yes! While my busy mornings are not on the farm, I love breakfasts that can just go in the oven when we have company or lots going on to start our day. Thanks for leaving a review Linda!

    Do you have a crock pot version? I need a recipe that I can take to our Sunday School class and keep warm. I also only old fashion oats on hand. Would just giving them a quick whirl in the food processor make those work for this recipe?

      Old fashioned oats will work fine without any processing. I’ve made it both ways. We have not tested this in the slow cooker. Sorry.
