While on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic, I had this baked oatmeal recipe. Everyone adored it and frequently requested more. It would be a healthier breakfast with less sugar. You can include things like flaxseed, wheat germ, cinnamon, raisins, cranberries, almonds, and diced apples. This recipe is impossible to err. Kids adore it with a cup of sugar, but by reducing the amount of sugar and adding other ingredients, you can make it delightful and healthful by serving it with peaches, blueberries, or strawberries.

Easy and quite good. I did eliminate the white sugar entirely and cut the brown sugar to 1/4 c. based on the reviews. For us, it was not sweet enough. It is a very adaptable and forgiving recipe, though, definitely worth a try!
So easy, delicious and healthy! It is so versatile. I added craisins, pecans, cinnamon and chia seeds. The batter had the consistency of cake batter and I was worried it wouldn’t set up but it was perfect. I’ve passed the recipe onto several of my friends. I can see myself making this many times.
It was good, next time I will put berries in it.
This has been my go to baked oatmeal recipe for several years. Whole family loves it….made it in a muffin version for our daughter’s wedding brunch…..big hit! I always add 1 cup chopped pecans….other than that exactly as recipe states, but doubled for my crew.
This really is a fool-proof and very adaptable recipe and I had fun combining people’s suggestions to my preferences! I used 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of 1/4 cup white and 1/4 cup brown. Added 1/4 c. chopped pecans, 2/3 c. dried cranberries (add a little warm water & let them soak a few mins to plump them up 1st!), 1/4 c. sweetened shredded coconut, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. chia seeds and 1 tsp. vanilla. Baked it for about 50-55 mins. @ 350. Perfect and healthy, substantial breakfast or snack that everyone loves!
love it! I make this and eat it all week for breakfast. I chop up 2 apples and add raisins, 2 tsp cinnamon. Yum!

Loved this! My hubby said it was “trouble” to have around but not awful to indulge in. I used grape seed oil because I had on hand, threw the rest of some ground flax in that was in fridge, used soy for milk, added dried cherries & sliced almonds & omitted the brown sugar on accident. It was plenty sweet tho, next time I will use slightly less sweetener, all brown. Thank you for the great healthful recipe!
I tweaked it a little. Used olive oil, added an extra egg, cinnon and vanilla.
Good, but too sweet. I will cut the sugar next time.
I love this recipe! I bake it all the time and freeze it into individual portions for the next week or so. I omit the white sugar, replace milk with almond milk, replace flaxseed oil with coconut oil, and add a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a couple tablespoons of flaxseed. Each morning, I heat a frozen piece in the microwave, pour some almond milk over it, and enjoy!
This is the beast baked oatmeal! I followed the recepie. But,I just added apples and raisins.
This is not something I would make again.
I submitted this recipe and the original recipe used 1/2 cup oil, vegetable or canola. To make it more healthy I used the flaxseed and applesauce, combined to make 1/2 cup, to substitute for the 1/2 cup oil. Sugar was one cup. This was much too sweet. I changed it to 1/4 cup brown sugar with no white sugar. The baking powder was 3/4 Tbsp. baking powder. I always add the cinnamon to the batter as we like cinnamon. Changing the ingredients made it heavier than the original, but this way it is full of healthy ingredients. Hope this clears up some of the ingredients written. I never have trouble getting it out of the pan. Just wondering why several did. Adding chopped apple, raisins, nuts cranberries etc. make it extra special. So glad so many have enjoyed it. If you make it in a 9×13 pan, freeze some and you can have a quick breakfast using your microwave. You definitely need cinnamon. Sorry I forgot to add it. On my review I mentioned that I did not use any white sugar , only 1/4 cup brown sugar. That should help as the fruit makes it sweet enough.
The overall flavor was a bit plain, if I make it again I would add cinnamon. Also I used apples instead of banana. The texture was definitely more cake-like but it kind of fell apart when i tried to pick it up out of the pan. Not sure if anyone else had that happen
Fantastic! Like banana bread, but more hearty. I whipped this up in about 10 minutes when I first woke up. It baked away while we got ready for work and school. I served the kids theirs with milk since it was hot out of the oven, but I packed some for work and it was fantastic on its own at room temperature. I imagine I’ll be making this often. The changes I made were using I/4 cup less white sugar and coconut oil instead of flaxseed oil. I added a dash of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla. And I took the advise of other reviewers and greased the pan. I will keep decreasing the amount of white sugar I use until I find the least amount I can get by with and still get the kids to eat it.
Very yummy and moist. I substituted the flax seed oil for coconut oil. I liked the hint of coconut. I also omitted the bananas and opted for more applesauce.
This is a terrific recipe for a quick breakfast – and very easy to modify. I added chopped apples, dried cranberries, walnuts, chia seeds, and substituted almond milk and turbinado sugar for my own version. I also butter the baking pan prior to pouring in the mix, seems to help it come out better. With a little milk poured over it and heated up, it’s super easy to make a hearty morning dish.
My husband and I have enjoyed eating this baked oatmeal all week. I used canola oil instead of flax and I added an extra banana. Lovely texture. We eat it warm with milk poured over top. We’ll be making this regularly.
Super simple. I substituted ground flax for the egg & walnut oil for the fall oil. I will use less sugar next time as the banana & applesauce were almost enough.
This was very tasty. It is so much better than the store bought product that tastes more like a hard iced cookie. This was like banana bread meets dense, soft, moist sweetened oatmeal. It is really sweet, I will not deny that. As such, I would probably save this as a breakfast treat to make in the fall. I would at least try the recipe just as is, though, before altering it to ones diet. I tried it because it was recommended by an Allrecipes member. I did use safflower oil instead of flax oil and rolled oats as it did not say what type. Both worked well. For easy clean up I lined an 8×8 pan with 2 layers of foil sprayed with pan spray. When done, and almost cooled, I cut it in half and each half into 4 2″ pieces. I have no idea how this makes 9 servings. The pieces are very filling, served warm in a bowl, with milk. ty
