Sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with a warm sprinkle of cinnamon, baked oatmeal is a breakfast lover’s dream come true! Enjoy it for breakfast or brunch on lazy weekends with a splash of warm maple syrup and fresh fruit. This easy recipe is also terrific for making ahead to get you through busy weekday mornings and is great for meal prep.

We are big-time breakfast lovers in this house and that includes all kinds of breakfast foods. Sweet, savory, cold, hot, whatever.

I’ve recently been on the hunt for yummy breakfast recipes to add to my recipe box. I’ve specifically been looking for make-ahead dishes that can also be used for meal prep. The reason? Well, like most folks these days, I work from home and so does Mr. SS. I’ve wanted something that’s easy to make, filling, and delicious.

After a bit of tweaking, I’ve come up with a recipe that checks all the boxes. Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal. It’s my new best way to get fueled up in the mornings and, it’s so good!

What You Need To Make This Recipe:

  • Oatmeal
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Maple Syrup
  • Butter
  • Baking Powder
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt

Not only is this baked oatmeal really yummy, but it’s also super easy to make. Here’s how it comes together:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter (make sure it’s cooled slightly) maple syrup, milk, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add in the oatmeal and mix well using a wooden spoon. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb all the liquid then pour into a 9×9 buttered casserole dish and bake until set and golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly and serve. Easy peasy and totally scrumptious!

What To Serve With Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal?

There are so many great things to serve with this baked goodness. A few of my favorites are:

  • fresh blueberries and strawberries
  • sliced bananas
  • toasted pecans or almonds
  • warm maple syrup or milk

How To Make This Recipe Ahead Of Time:

To make baked oatmeal ahead of time, follow the recipe up until baking. Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap or foil and place in the fridge overnight. Take the oatmeal out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter while the oven is heating. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown then serve.

Can Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Be Used For Meal Prep?

Oh yes! It’s perfect. I make a full recipe on Sunday evenings then let it cool. I portion out 8 servings, place them in microwave-safe containers, and store them in the fridge. When breakfast rolls around, I take out a container, warm the baked oatmeal in the microwave, give it a drizzle of milk, add some berries, and dig in.

This recipe is best served warm so don’t forget to heat it up before enjoying it. I like to store my individual servings in glass containers for easy heating. Here are my favorites.

    I can’t wait to try this. We’re giving it a go in the morning. I think we’ll add some diced apple too.
