Author Notes

It vanished quickly. Jane (of the Small But Charming blog) inspired me with her post about baked oatmeal. I just had to make my own. Jane, I cannot thank you enough. I was somehow imagining granola bars, but no no no, not even close. So much better. Imagine combing the tastes of bread pudding, rice pudding, and oatmeal cookie dough, yes, that about sums it up. I ate two servings warm from the oven. It smelled so heavenly I decided I'd have to take up doing something with fresh ground cinnamon and nutmeg every morning. We also ate some for dessert (the same day). If I'd had a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, well, I don't know what I would have done with myself. Perhaps it's best I do not keep cream on hand. This recipe is delicious warm and it is delicious cold. Make some for yourself. Share it with someone, if you are in the mood. Oh, you are going to be so pleased. —Denise

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter (plus a little extra for buttering your baking dish)

  • 1/4 cup (I used toasted pumpkin, sunflower, and flax)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch fresh ground cinnamon

No Oatmeal in the Baked Oatmeal??? Read the recipe twice, still can't find it.

2 cups fruit and nut müesli (uncooked rolled oats, fruit and nuts) -- rolled oats are a type of oatmeal.

This was lovely. I used what I had -- unflavored Greek yogurt and brown sugar -- and had to put it away before I ate the entire pan. Happily, that means I have breakfast waiting.

I am so happy you are happy. I'm all about improvisation, it's how I threw together this recipe. Enjoy breakfast tomorrow.

I just tried baked oatmeal for the first time--a revelation! Yours sounds delicious.

There are so many variations on this theme. I saw one that called for six eggs versus my one. Another was beautifully baked in a pumpkin. I'd like to try them all.
