Oatmeal Base
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup instant oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup almond butter
Glaze Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the old fashioned oats, instant oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Assemble the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and mix until just combined, ensuring all oats are moistened but do not overmix.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the glaze: While the oatmeal bakes, whisk together melted butter, vanilla extract, milk (start with 1 Tbsp and add more for desired consistency), and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Cool and glaze: Once baked, remove oatmeal from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the prepared glaze evenly over the warm oatmeal.
- Serve: Slice into portions and serve warm to fully enjoy the cinnamon roll flavor and creamy glaze.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based butter for the glaze.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or glaze sugar to taste.
- Adding chopped nuts or raisins before baking can add texture and extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat before serving.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and to prevent sticking in the baking dish.
