Ingredients
Oatmeal Bake
- 2 3/4 cups oatmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or melted coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray to prepare for baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter or coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla bean paste until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oatmeal, baking powder, and ground cinnamon into the wet mixture, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform batter.
- Rest Batter: Let the oatmeal batter sit for 10 minutes, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors fully for a better texture.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set.
- Prepare Icing: While the oatmeal bake is in the oven, whisk together powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl to create a smooth icing. Adjust the milk or powdered sugar to reach your preferred consistency.
- Cool and Serve: When baking is complete, let the oatmeal bake cool for 10 minutes. Slice into 12 squares, drizzle the prepared icing over each serving, and serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats will work but may alter consistency.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use melted coconut oil instead of butter.
- The icing consistency can be adjusted by adding more milk for thinning or more powdered sugar for thickening.
- Serve immediately after icing for optimal flavor and warmth.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and warmed before serving.
