I’ve been on an oatmeal kick lately, trying different recipes and different types of oatmeal. This Amish Baked Oatmeal recipe is my favorite so far! Baking the oatmeal changes the texture of the oatmeal and it tastes more like an oatmeal cookie.
You make it the night before and pop it in the oven the next morning. It’s super easy and so delicious! My kids prefer cold cereal in the mornings, so I usually make up a batch, cut it into six squares and then freeze the squares and just warm them up in the microwave each morning. It is a perfect breakfast for me, just a little sweet, and the protein and fiber keep me full until lunch.
Amish Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 2 large eggs or ½ cup Egg Beaters
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cup milk
- 3 cups oatmeal regular or quick
- ¼ cup dried cranberries Craisins
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl combined eggs, brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well, no lumps. Whisk in butter and milk. Add oats and fruit, stir until combined. Pour in to greased 9×9 baking dish.
- Refrigerate overnight, covered. (If you’re using quick oats, you do not need to refrigerate overnight.)
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-45 min, or until set in the middle. Serve hot with warm milk poured over.
Maria, Two Peas and Their Pod, recently posted a Bruleed Steel Cut Oats recipe that looks fabulous and I’ll be making soon.
Carol, at Songberries, has a yummy Baked Oatmeal recipe that doesn’t require making the night before. Hers is a bit sweeter and my husband really liked it.

Both Grumpy and I love oatmeal during the week! I am definitely trying your recipe out and am going to check out the recipe for 'Songberries's oatmeal – I've seen Maria's and already bookmarked it!
Sue Sparks
My husband will ABSOLUTELY love this! He is a die-hard oatmeal fan, especially with blueberries and cranberries added:)

livestocreate – You could definitely use dried blueberries. I think frozen blueberries would work as well. I've been wanting to try apples and I've also thrown in some raisins. I hope you enjoy it!

I love your idea for freezing it in squares. How easy that would be to bring out for just one person! Thanks! It looks delicious… I wonder if I could get away with dried blueberries instead? Frozen? They are so pricey right now…

I would love to give this a try as I have all the ingredients needed. A good oatmeal is hard to beat, especially with cranberries!

Esta avena se ve tan rica. Hablo en serio. Debo probar esto. Es interesante que nosotras dos hayamos pensando en hablar de avena pero la versión tuya es más saludable.
¡Quiero decirte que aún hasta los acentos tu español ha sido perfecto! ¡Qué bien!

I love oatmeal in the morning but I hate making it. The freezing idea is great. I will have to give it a try 🙂

I have never heard of anything like this nor had I heard of the steel cut oats until I read about them on Maria's blog the other day. This sounds like a great breakfast and a good alternative to porridge – I am a bit bored of porridge now!!

This looks so good, and I am not an oatmeal girl. Will have to give this one a try!
