Baked Oatmeal ~ A New Family Favorite

We spent last weekend at my in-laws house as they were leaving this week for a trip to Phoenix.

Sunday morning my mother-in-law made a delicious baked oatmeal that was a hit with everyone. It had raisins and almonds and was just plain yummy! I had never had baked oatmeal before.

I could kick myself because I did not copy the recipe from her and of course my 6 year old asked for baked oatmeal this morning.

A lady from my Church, Betty, is one of the author’s of a popular food blog {and cookbook} called Mennonite Girls Can Cook. I did not find the recipe in the book, but did a quick search on the blog and found a recipe for Baked Oatmeal with apples and cinnamon. I knew it would not disappoint.

This is what it looked like in my bowl this morning…garnished with some bright raspberries!

Baked Oatmeal : Mommy Moment

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups oats or quick oats (not instant)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut (optional)
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 apple, grated
  • 1 cup milk

For directions on how to make this delicious recipe please see the original post on Mennonite Girls Can Cook.

Although it did not have the raisins and almonds like the recipe Kookum (grandmother in Cree) made last weekend, it was a hit with the family and I know I’ll be making it on many Sunday mornings!

Jody, Just a follow up on my previous post... I made the baked oatmeal and had doubled the recipe. My husband ate it every day (sometimes more than once,) and has asked like 3~4 times when I was going to make more. I just wanted to thank you again for such a great, healthy alternative to just a bowl of oatmeal. It is a new family favorite in this house!

Oh Diedra, Thank-you so much for following up! I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe!

As soon as I read this on Saturday, I went to the kitchen and made it (even doubled the recipe. Had to use a 9x13 pan to bake it in.) I kinda figured that it would taste similar to granola bars/cereal. I was surprised that it didn't...I guess because of everything that went into it. I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not using steel cut oats...

I have decided that the next time that I make it, I will add more of the 'extras' to it (ie. grated apples, coconut) and I will add pecans and raisins. I will be making it again soon as my husband has already eaten almost half the pan and I just made it a few days ago. Obviously, a huge hit in my house! Thanks!!

I'm so glad you took the time to leave me a comment! I love adding the extras, and I'm glad to hear it was a hit in your house!

Now that sounds really interesting. I've never baked oatmeal (except as a topping) but I bet my kids would love this. They're on a HUGE oatmeal kick right now.
