- Bake for 30-40 minutes until the center is almost set. It should be soft in the middle and not completely dry. If you prefer a drier baked oatmeal, continue baking for a few more minutes.
- Serve warm with extra maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats may be used, but the baked oatmeal will be softer and a little drier.
- Frozen blueberries may be used if fresh aren’t available. Add them frozen, and know they may release extra juice as they bake.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To freeze, let the baked oatmeal cool completely, then wrap tightly or store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat individual portions in the microwave, or cover the baking dish with foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through.
- If you use a 9x9-inch pan, you'll need to bake the oatmeal closer to the 40 minute mark or a little longer since it's thicker.
