I halved the recipe and added peaches instead of the cranberries – It’s peach season, after all! I used rough cut oats and it was very hearty. I think next time I’ll cut back on the sugar, even though I do like my oatmeal on the sweet side. 😉
This baked oatmeal is easy and delicious!! My husband has me make double batches so he can take to work. I make them in a brownie pan and adjust the bake time. My coworkers love and I get lots of requests to share the recipe.
This was my first attempt at baked oatmeal, it was delicious. I made some minor changes; cut the sugar in half, substituted raisins for cranberries, and used 9×9 baking dish. I baked it for 35 minutes removed it from the oven let it stand for 10 minutes. Cut it with a serrated knife. Even though I tweaked recipe a bit, it’s good recipe. Definitely would recommend it!
I agree with many of the comments. I, too, use almond milk, use 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, sub unsweetened applesauce for the oil, and add a mixture of raisins, cranberries, dried cherries and walnuts. I bake it in a muffin tin for 35 min. Great part of a healthy breakfast.
I used this recipe because of its reviews. Sadly, it was overcooked even though I took it our earlier than the time it was supposed to bake and I thought it was very bland. It had a more of a granola consistency. Will not make again.
It was delicious. Loved it. I Didn’t add the cranberries, but made a seasoning for the top with Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cloves.
I always look up this recipe. It’s a family favorite. I should know it by heart by now. The only change is I swap out the cranberries for chocolate chips. The kids LOVE this.
So good! The variations I made were 2 C oats, 2/3 C hemp hearts, and 1/3 C chia seeds in place of the the 3 C of oats. I only did 1/4 C brown sugar because I used a leftover apple crumble in place of the cranberries. It was plenty sweet and so delicious! If using chia seeds, I recommend letting the wet mixture set for a bit (maybe even overnight) before baking.
Delicious ~ Perfect for an early on the go breakfast. I let it cool, refrigerate then cut into bars. They are perfect for my very early morning rising. Like wonderful granola bars for a grab and go with coffee in hand. I always use parchment paper in the 9×13″baking dish (makes for easy cutting and removal). I use coconut milk, 1/2C brown sugar, add 3/4C chopped walnuts al so 2tsp of maple extract (yes, I still use the vanilla extract). This bakes up perfectly @ 35 minutes. Not only do I love it but my very picky family does too!
Just made this in 9×13 pan and feel it could be done in a 11×7 dish. I did cut brown sugar in half and was plenty sweet. I would start checking it at 30-40 minutes. I took it out at 37 minutes and it was a little too done.
Delicious! This is now my go-to baked oatmeal recipe, especially since it doesn’t have flour. Due to food allergies, I made it vegan with flax eggs and oat milk, and canola oil instead of butter. It is delicious with blueberries instead of cranberries, too.
I love this recipe and have made it many times. One time I accidentally added an egg and we realized we actually prefer the recipe with 3 eggs so we make it that way now.
This is so simple but yet so good! 10/10 would recommend! I did not use cranberries but it was still a hit!
Omg!! I used my healthier ingredients. Coconut milk, swerve brown sugar, organic ingredients. Thus recipe did not disappoint!! I’ve shared it with two close friends.
easy recipe, my pan was slightly smaller than 9×13 and it fit well. it was too sweet though, next time i think 1/2 cup brown sugar would suffice. this is now in my “saved recipes”
Having lived in southern Lancaster County for a number of years, my husband and I are very particular about genuine baked oatmeal. This one is the real deal. Love using dried cranberries, but will try substituting apples next time. I halved the recipe for the two of us.
This is delicious! It’s not bars, and it’s not a bowl of oatmeal but somewhere in between. I decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup and wil probably do 1/2 cup next time, but then I sprinkled some mini chips on top. Spoon into a bowl and enjoy!
This was great! Next time, I’m going to try it with apples.
Fantastic I added more milk so it was less bulky
I made this without any sugar at all and it tasted great. I used blueberries rather than dried cranberries. The berries sweetened it up and we didn’t miss the sugar. It is a tad dry so a splash of almond milk just before eating would be a good idea.
This has been my go to recipe for seven years now. Very indulgent for breakfast so it’s a definitely a treat
