Baked Oatmeal
Baked Oatmeal transforms ordinary oatmeal into something special!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups quick cooking oats
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky works)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (if using table salt use ½ teaspoon)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined. It will appear very wet.
- Pour mixture into baking dish. I used an 8x8 glass baking dish because I wanted a soft and gooey texture. (If you use a 9x13 pan they will be a little thinner and less gooey, but also more familiar and delicious.)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. If it cracks on top don't worry, it's not overdone. An inserted toothpick should be removed with crumbs clinging to it.
- Serve warm.
Notes
How to Make Ahead
Night before: Assemble the mixture, pour it into the baking dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let it sit on the counter while the oven preheats, then bake as directed (it may need 3-5 extra minutes).
Full make-ahead: Bake the oatmeal, cool completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
