We eat a lot of oatmeal in this house, a lot. Two of children would eat 3 packets of the instant oatmeal each morning if I let them. While yes oatmeal is great for them, so much better than sugary cereal, the instant kind gets to be expensive, so I try to cut it with some quick oats to make it go a little farther.

I too, eat oatmeal quite often for breakfast, but instead of instant oatmeal, I usually have quick oats with berries and some sliced almonds.
But even that gets old after a while. So I tried making a baked oatmeal. It was a hit, it tasted great and fills you up fast, and has become something I make at least once a month for something different from the normal toast and cereal that we usually stick with.
What you need:
- 3 cups instant oats
- 1/2 – 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground all spice
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter
For the icing:
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp water
How to make Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal:
Cream together the sugar, eggs and butter. Then add in dry ingredients alternating between the milk and oats for easy mixing. It will be quite wet/watery. Don’t worry though, those oats will do their stuff. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper, and spread the batter out evenly.
Bake in oven preheated to 350 for 35-45 minutes, bake it until solid with a little spring in it at a touch, and brown.
Mix together some icing sugar, a little vanilla, and water to make a icing that you can drizzle over it. Cut into squares and serve. Best while its warm. This is filling, and taste great.
If you want thicker pieces bake in a 9×9 pan, you’ll just have to cook it closer to the 45 minutes. Either way, it is amazing!
So tell me, how do you like your cinnamon roll? Do you like it a little more healthy like our baked oatmeal here, or are you like me and you want it for dessert like my Cinnamon Roll Bundt cake?
