Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal (Print version)

Baked oatmeal turns a bowl of pantry ingredients into a warm breakfast that can be portioned ahead.

# Ingredients:

Ingredients

01 - 250 g rolled oats
02 - 500 ml milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 80 ml maple syrup
05 - 40 g melted butter
06 - 1 tsp baking powder
07 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
08 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
09 - ¼ tsp salt

# Instructions:

01 - Heat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Grease a 20 cm square baking dish with a little of the measured butter.
02 - Mix oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.
03 - Whisk milk, eggs, maple syrup, remaining melted butter and vanilla in another bowl. Stir into the oat mixture.
04 - Pour into the prepared dish and spread the oats evenly. Bake 30–40 minutes until the center is set and the edges are golden.
05 - Check that the middle no longer looks wet when gently pressed with a spoon. If needed, bake another few minutes.
06 - Rest 10 minutes, then cut or spoon into six portions. The texture should be soft and moist, with visible oats, rather than fluffy like cake.
07 - Refrigerate covered leftovers within two hours for up to four days. Reheat portions until hot throughout, adding a splash of milk if desired.
