Notes
- Mix-Ins: Use up to 1 1/2 cups total mix-ins, as desired. If adding raisins, I recommend using about 1/2 cup. You will need to bake the baked oatmeal about 5 minutes longer if using frozen berries.
- Make Ahead: You can prep the baked oatmeal the night before, cover and refrigerate, and then bake it in the morning. I recommend adding the mix-ins right before baking.
- Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place a serving of oatmeal in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour in a little milk and heat until hot, breaking up the oatmeal with a spoon as needed. Or, reheat in a covered dish in the oven. Serve with toppings as desired.
- To Freeze: Once cool, freeze slices of baked oatmeal in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- Gluten-Free: If you need your baked oatmeal to be gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- Dairy-Free: To make this recipe dairy-free, use your favorite non dairy milk, such as unsweetened almond milk.
- Nutrition information estimate is for baked oatmeal without mix-ins, since the mix-ins you choose will vary.
