Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 12 Tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
