Easy Baked Oatmeal Recipe

This recipe is simply amazing! It's gluten-free and low in sugar. We opted for olive oil over canola oil and threw in some chopped apples or raisins. We decided to add a touch more brown sugar for extra sweetness. It turned out so healthy, moist, and simple to prepare! A definite winner for our health-focused household!

I deduct one star because I had to modify the recipe to suit my preferences. I prefer my oatmeal less sweet and with less added sugar, so I reduced the brown sugar to only 1/4 cup. I also substituted half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce, added extra cranberries, chopped pecans, fresh blueberries, and a splash of milk on top to prevent dryness. I brought two pans to an Easter brunch, and it was a huge hit with everyone. My husband and I enjoyed the leftovers all week, making it a great alternative to boxed cereal. However, I refrained from giving it five stars due to the potential excessive sweetness with the original recipe.

I have been making this recipe every week and eating it for breakfast every single day for almost a year now. Upon the recommendation of a cardiologist friend who suggested incorporating oatmeal and flax seed powder into my daily diet to help with my cholesterol, I decided to modify the recipe by replacing three eggs with an equivalent amount of flax seed powder as an egg substitute, as indicated on the bottle instructions. I have experimented with adding blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and pecans to this dish, and have also tried sprinkling flaked coconut on top. I discovered that using regular oatmeal, as opposed to quick-cook oats, yields a better texture, as the combination of flax seed powder and quick cook oats resulted in a gummy consistency that I did not enjoy.

Great recipe! I made a few modifications by adding raisins, craisins, nutmeg, and cinnamon. I swapped out canola oil for olive oil. We enjoyed it with canned peaches and whipped cream, as the oatmeal tends to be dry. Alternatively, you can top it with cream or milk. It was satisfying and everyone in my family loved it. If you're serving a smaller group, I recommend scaling down the recipe and cooking time as it makes a generous portion. Overall, a crowd-pleaser! 😊

I prepare this dish whenever I have to make breakfast for a large group. I include 3 apples, roughly chopped, along with plenty of cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg, and a dash of ground cloves. It's always a hit with everyone, and I plan on making it repeatedly in the future.

I substituted oil with applesauce and swapped walnuts for fresh blueberries - so tasty!!

Super easy to prepare. I appreciate that it is flourless. It's so versatile when it comes to the type and quantity of sweeteners. And the best part is that it actually makes oatmeal a satisfying breakfast for me, unlike plain oatmeal that leaves me hungry all day. This recipe has great flavor and texture, keeping me satisfied without constantly searching for something else to eat. I incorporated some recommendations like adding applesauce, cloves, and cinnamon, while keeping the vanilla from the original recipe. The whole family loved it for breakfast this morning.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. After reading other reviews, we made a couple of tweaks: we doubled the brown sugar and added apple chunks. Though we only had chopped almonds on hand, they worked perfectly fine. We didn't find it dry; in fact, we thought the crumbly texture added to its charm. We served it with warm honey drizzled on top and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. We will definitely be making this dish again—it paired perfectly with our morning coffee. Next time, we might try adding banana or experimenting with different fruits. Yum!

After following the original recipe, I felt it was too dry. However, I decided to make some adjustments today by adding 2 mashed bananas and increasing the amount of oil to 1 cup. The result was much more satisfying and delicious!

This recipe is a great base to work with. I enhanced it by adding 1/2 cup of raisins and a teaspoon of cinnamon. I skipped the walnuts and instead topped it off with maple syrup. Without these additions, the dish would have been a bit bland.

"It has a blended taste, but the texture is strange."

Thank you so much for providing exactly what I needed. I wouldn't make any changes as it's just perfect. Definitely a keeper!

Lacks moisture and lacks depth of flavor.

This recipe is a good base to work with. I enhanced it by including 1/2 cup of raisins and a teaspoon of cinnamon. I skipped the walnuts and instead topped it with maple syrup. Without these additions, the dish would have been a bit plain.

What a fantastic addition to my gluten-free husband's oatmeal routine! He adores this for breakfast, as do the children. I personally enjoy it as a snack at room temperature, but it's also delightful reheated for breakfast with a touch of honey or maple syrup on top. I'm thinking of tossing in some chopped apples next time, but this time I went with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I really enjoyed trying out this recipe, although I accidentally forgot to include the butter. Surprisingly, the dish still turned out delicious, although it didn't rise as much as I expected. I decided to use blueberries in my version, aiming to recreate a baked oatmeal I love from a local shop in Harrisburg. While it didn't quite match up to the original, it was a solid starting point. Overall, a fantastic fundamental recipe!

Baked oatmeal is best enjoyed with a rich full-fat milk infused with nutmeg, and occasionally cloves and cardamom drizzled on top. Don't forget to have some brown sugar or honey nearby for those who have a sweet tooth. Give it a go and treat yourself to this delicious breakfast!

Extremely excellent.

I have been enjoying oatmeal for breakfast every day. I decided to give this recipe a try as a convenient way to prep a large batch in advance. And boy, does it yield a generous amount! Just like the other reviewer, I swapped walnuts for almonds and added a sprinkle of cinnamon for a tasty twist. The texture is pleasantly dense and chewy, quite different from your typical bowl of oatmeal. I've been heating it up in the microwave with a bit of milk, and the warm, comforting taste reminds me of Indian pudding, a beloved childhood treat.
