Amish Baked Oatmeal image

This recipe came from an old Amish cookbook of mine. It tastes like an oatmeal cookie. It stores well in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the microwave and served with milk. This has to sit overnight, so plan accordingly. It is well worth the wait, however!

Provided by Aurora

Categories     Breakfast

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup butter
2 large eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon nutmeg or 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
3 cups oatmeal (regular or quick)

Steps:

  • Melt butter.
  • Grease 1 1/2 quart baking dish and drop in eggs and beat well.
  • Add brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla, nutmeg or cinnamon, and salt. Mix well, no lumps.
  • Whisk in butter and both measures of milk, then add oats.
  • Stir well, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-45 min, or until set in the middle.
  • Serve hot with warm milk poured over.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick oats, or steel-cut oats. Old-fashioned oats will give you a chewier texture, while quick oats and steel-cut oats will give you a creamier texture.
  • Adjust the liquid. The amount of liquid you need will depend on the type of oats you use. Old-fashioned oats will need more liquid than quick oats or steel-cut oats.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. You can add any mix-ins you like to your overnight baked oatmeal. Some popular mix-ins include fruits, nuts, seeds, and spices.
  • Let it rest overnight. The longer you let your overnight baked oatmeal rest, the thicker and creamier it will be. If you're short on time, you can let it rest for as little as 4 hours, but 8 hours or more is ideal.
  • Bake it in the morning. When you're ready to eat your overnight baked oatmeal, simply bake it in the oven until it's hot and bubbly. You can also microwave it if you're short on time.

Conclusion:

Overnight baked oatmeal is a delicious and easy breakfast option that can be made ahead of time. It's perfect for busy mornings or for those who simply want a healthy and delicious breakfast. With a variety of mix-ins to choose from, you can customize your overnight baked oatmeal to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give overnight baked oatmeal a try.
