We LOVE Baked Oatmeal around here. In fact, it’s one of the most popular recipes on this website. We eat it at least once a week…..sometimes more if we’re lucky. I like to make it in advance sometimes, especially if it’s going to be a hectic morning and I know I won’t have 30 minutes to wait for something to bake.
We also have to eat on the run occasionally and it would be nice to be able to take Baked Oatmealwith us on those days. It’s pretty easy to eat in its original state, but I thought I could make it even easier……so when I knew I needed a meal on the go, I decided to try muffin cups for the oatmeal. It worked GREAT!!! I’ll be doing it more often. It is very easy to eat in the car.
I used the same recipe, I just poured it into 8 muffin cups instead of the 8 inch pan. The recipe makes 4 servings, so each person could have two…..or like Annie, just one. Actually, I could eat them all myself. I might regret it later though. I used cup liners for ease of toting, but you wouldn’t have to do that if you didn’t have any.
These bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Once cool, they come out of the paper very well.If you wanted to make the Fruit On The Bottom Baked Oatmeal version, you could just put your fruit mixture in the bottom of each cup and bake 20 minutes. That might be a little messy for the car though…..unless you like adding “character” to your car like I do.

Donna saysHi Stacey, I also agree about the fat/calorie counts. I’ve found in my research that most people don’t eat enough calories or fat. I started eating fat, which naturally increased my calorie count and lost 8 pant sizes in 6 weeks and I’ve mostly kept it off (until stress & sleeplessness kick in)!! I am sold!
I tried these tonight, adding banana, pb, and 60% cacao chocolate chips, plus my 3 yo helped by adding more baking powder, so they were nice and fluffy! =o) YUUUMMMM!!
Thanks for sharing the recipe… I’m always looking for something to make for breakfast on the go. =o)Reply

what do you mean by increasing fat? what was your diet plan and excercise routine if you dont mind me asking?

I think she’s referring to adding healthy fats, like coconut oil and butter. That’s how we do it in Trim Healthy Mama. You might be interested in this post: http://www.stacymakescents.com/change-your-life-become-a-trim-healthy-mama

We love this recipe! I always double it to feed our large family.(and so I can have an extra piece later) We love it with mashed bananas, diced apples & diced pears. My husband’s favorite is with chocolate chips & bananas.

Hi Stacy,
I’m a former SW Va girl who has stumbled upon your blog and love it. I’ve got a question about your baked oatmeal recipe. You indicate quick cooking oats…I’m assuming that is the 1 minute oats and not the instant or the 5 minute version. Is that correct? I’ve got a lot of the 1 minute variety which I don’t like for my breakfast, and I’ve been looking for more ways to use it up. This may just work.Reply

Just the ones that come in the container that say Quick Oats. 🙂 However, I now use just plain rolled oats and get a great result. Where in SW VA were you from?

Marion. The last time I was there you were running a workshop, but unfortunately, the arts and craft festival was going on and I promised my kids we’d go. Maybe next time.

🙂 I look forward to moving home soon. And it seems like we’re ALWAYS on vacation when it’s the festival…..so I’ve always missed it since I got married.

What a great idea, Stacy! We have been making an amazing Sweet Potato Baked Oatmeal lately that I am going to try with this method. Thanks so much for the tip!

I’ve put sweet potato in my Baked Oatmeal before and it’s delicious! I like pureed butternut in there too. Thanks for stopping by Mindy! 🙂 I’ve signed up to get your daily feed.
