Description
A warm, cozy breakfast that tastes just like your favorite bakery treat, featuring a sweet cinnamon swirl and an optional cream cheese icing drizzle. This comforting dish is incredibly easy to prepare and perfect for a delightful start to any day.
Ingredients
2 cups (180g) rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups (360ml) milk
1 large egg
1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp (28g) melted butter
For the Swirl:
2 tbsp (25g) brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Cream cheese icing (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just moistened.
Transfer the oat mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the oatmeal.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture into the oats.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is golden brown and set.
Remove from oven and, while warm, drizzle generously with cream cheese icing if desired.
Notes
Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Make this the night before and reheat for a quick morning meal.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and butter.
Avoid overmixing the batter for a tender texture.
