Ingredients

Add-Ins (optional):

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9 x 9 baking dish or a similar-sized baking dish with butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the steel-cut oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, add the egg and maple syrup and whisk until well combined. Then add the melted butter, vanilla, and milk, and whisk again until combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl of wet ingredients, stir to combine, and then transfer the oat mixture to the greased baking dish. The mixture is going to be very liquidy, but don’t worry, it will absorb the milk in the oven. (Optional: If adding any add-ins, such as fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips, gently mix them in at this time.)
  5. Transfer the baking dish to the oven to bake for 45-50 minutes until all of the milk is absorbed, the middle is set, and the sides are golden brown.
  6. Once baked, remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes to set. Then slice and serve with toppings of your choice.
  7. Any leftover steel-cut baked oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
