It seems like everyone has a favorite recipe for baked oatmeal . . . except me. I’ve never made it. When others are exchanging their favorite recipes (usually in anticipation of serving a crowd, or to make a big batch to refrigerate and eat over the coming week), I just smile and nod. Until today!
This recipe is from Simply in Season.
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup raisins
3 Tbs walnuts, chopped
1 cup milk
1/2 cup applesauce
2 Tbs oil
1 Egg beaten
1. Combine dry ingredients.
2. Combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Can refrigerate overnight at this point.
3. Combine wet and dry together and bake in a greased 8×8 inch baking pan in a preheated oven at 350F for 25 minutes. Serve warm with milk.
Servings: 4
The verdict: This is a great hearty breakfast. I made mine in a 9×9 pan so I think I could have eaten 1/6 of the recipe and still been fine, saving some calories for later in the day 😉 I’m glad it refrigerates well. It was also a snap to throw together and I ran on the treadmill while it baked, took it out to cool, and jumped back on. So I was able to get a workout in and still have time to make breakfast!

Thanks for this recipe! I’ve been looking for breakfast ideas for weekdays–something I can pack up quickly and take to work–and this fits the bill perfectly!
Mmmm….this sounds wonderful! I love anything I can start the evening before and just finish up in the morning. How long do you need to bake this?
I make a similar baked oatmeal with soaked oats http://nourishyourchildren.com/blog/2010/01/soaked-oat-breakfast-2-for-1/ All you would need to do for yours is to add a soured product when you refrigerate. Two tablespoons of yogurt, buttermilk, or whey will breakdown the phytic acid and unlock nutrients. For oatmeal you could soak longer, like 24 hours.

Damn Wendy, you need to FedEx that shit to me immediately. I’m a oatmeal whore and this made me feel warm in side.
I think that’s what love feels like. I think.

That looks great! Is it more of a granola bar-type thing?
Great blog, going to check out more recipes. Saw your site on SITS 🙂
I don’t know if I really have a favorite recipe, but I definitely love baked oatmeal. ONe thing I love about it is its versatility. Lots of different flavor profiles to be created!
How did you serve yours? With milk? Sugar? Yogurt?
I just ate mine plain, I’m weird like that – I eat bread plain too LOL.
Sounds yummy. I eat those Quaker Oats breakfast cookies…this would be a much better alternative!
That looks delish!!
Stoppin’ by from SITS!

Let us know if you try it “soaked”! Do you usually soak grains? There’s so much conflicting research anyway..
🙂 Katie
I don’t usually soak grains, but it’s something I want to try.
