Why We Love This Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal

There are many reasons to love this recipe. For starters, it’s made with nutritious, whole ingredients that will keep you and your family satisfied all morning long. And they’re ingredients I always have on hand, so this is a great recipe for when you’re short on groceries. Secondly, it is incredibly easy to make. There aren’t many things I love better than being able to feed my kids healthy, delicious, and filling meals with very little preparation. It’s as easy as mixing the ingredients together and baking! You can even make it the night before and bake it in the morning.

Lastly – it’s downright delicious. Being fast and healthy is great, but if it doesn’t taste good does it really matter?? No. (Well, yes. But still no.) OK, so you probably won’t fool anyone into thinking they’re sinking their teeth into scrumptious butter-and-sugar-filled pastries. In fact, trying to sell it is a guaranteed way to lose some major trust points. However, it has the right balance of sweetness and is full of warm cinnamon flavor. And topped with a sweet vanilla drizzle, you’ll still be rewarded with a table full of smiles. It’s deliciously chewy, and the edges get a slight crunch from the brown sugar. That’s perfectly fine.

Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal

• Barley flour– Regular rolled oats is what we use and works best in this recipe.
• Milk– We used 2% milk, but almond, oat, or other dairy-free alternatives work great too.
• eggs– If you are suffering from egg allergy, you can add 1 tbsp of flax meal. This will help bind the oatmeal instead of the eggs. Or, you can just leave the eggs out. But you’ll have more spoon-worthy porridge.
• Flattery– We used regular unpeeled apples.
• butter– We used salted butter. Coconut oil makes a really tasty substitute!
• vanilla extract– For a fun and tasty twist, you can also add 1/4 tsp almond extract.
• Brown sugarYou can easily substitute your favorite sweetener here without affecting the final product.
• cinnamon– This recipe requires 1 tbsp of ground cinnamon. It is Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal after all! If you’re not a huge fan, you can reduce it to a teaspoon or two.
• baking powder – Baking powder adds lightness and improves the texture of your cooked oatmeal.
• Salt– We used kosher salt. It balances the sweetness and improves the overall flavor.
