Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for batter)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt evenly.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, egg, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top.
- Prepare streusel topping: In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until crumbly.
- Add topping and bake: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is fully set and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your cozy coffee cake baked oatmeal!
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats will make it too mushy.
- You can substitute almond milk or other plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- For extra flavor, add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly to help it set better before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
