Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the oatmeal evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute the flavors uniformly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, crack in the egg, add vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir everything together until fully combined and the oats are well coated.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the oat mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking and browning.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and the oatmeal is set but still moist.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Add fruit such as berries or chopped apples, nuts like walnuts or pecans, or chocolate chips before baking for extra flavor and texture.
- Keeps well refrigerated for meal prep; reheat portions as needed for a quick, nutritious breakfast throughout the week.
