A creamy baked oats recipe that tastes like a cinnamon roll, offering a cozy, indulgent breakfast with simple pantry staples and minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole, skim, or dairy-free such as almond or oat milk)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Cinnamon swirl: 2 tablespoons brown sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg with milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and slightly thick.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar swirl mixture on top and gently press it into the batter with the back of a spoon for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the baked oats cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.

Notes

Avoid instant oats as they become mushy. Fold ingredients gently to avoid a gluey texture. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best creamy texture. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Can prepare batter the night before and bake in the morning, adding a few extra minutes if cold. Vegan version possible by substituting egg with flax egg and using plant-based milk and yogurt.
