Introduction

This Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Bake combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls with hearty oats for a warm, delicious breakfast treat. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for cozy mornings or brunch gatherings.

A square piece of baked oatmeal with a golden-brown top and visible oats throughout rests on a white plate, drizzled generously with white creamy sauce in irregular lines. The oatmeal looks thick and moist, with a rough texture showing oats and small air pockets. In the background, a larger pan filled with more baked oatmeal, also topped with the same white creamy drizzle, sits on a white marbled surface with a white towel partially underneath. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups oatmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter (or melted coconut oil)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk (for icing)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Stir in the oatmeal, baking powder, and cinnamon until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 4: Let the oatmeal batter sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquids fully.
Step 5: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Step 6: While baking, prepare the icing by whisking powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust milk or powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency.
Step 7: Once baked, let the oatmeal cool for 10 minutes. Slice into squares, drizzle with icing, and serve warm for the best flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
Add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
If you prefer a sweeter bake, increase the maple syrup or brown sugar slightly.
Use rolled oats for a chewier texture or quick oats for a softer bake.

Storage

Store leftover oatmeal bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual squares in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. The icing is best added fresh before serving.

How to Serve

A square piece of baked oat bar sits on a smooth white plate, showing three visible layers: a rough, golden-brown oat crust on top with a crunchy texture, a dense, slightly lighter brown oat middle layer with a chewy appearance, and a moist bottom layer that blends slightly with the middle. The top layer is drizzled with a creamy white icing in uneven lines, adding a soft contrast to the textured surface. In the background, part of a larger tray filled with similar oat bars, also drizzled with white icing, is visible resting on a cloth over a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
