I have been making Baked Oatmeal since the beginning of our Pantry Cooking Challenge. It’s my new favorite, pantry friendly, breakfast recipe. I love it fresh from the oven, but I also love that I can make a big pan of this and store it in the fridge. That way, everyone can serve themselves a chunk and reheat it in the microwave. It’s a truly versatile recipe, so expect to see several variations published here at Patty Cake’s Pantry, but for today, I am going to introduce you to the “basic” version. You’re going to love it.

From the Pantry
- Quick Cooking Oatmeal
- Oil (mild flavored–not EVOO)
- Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Almond Extract
- Baking Powder
From the Refrigerator
- Milk
- Eggs
This is very simple to prepare. All you do is mix everything together then pour it into a 9X9 inch pan. Pop it into the oven and bake it.
When it’s done, you have a pan of delicious baked oatmeal. Bus Boy and I like to have our chunks covered with a little milk when we eat it, but Baker’s Man prefers to eat chunks of it dry. Sue Chef believes that it’s best when baked into individual muffins that she can grab and eat. This will be great when school starts up again.
However you make your baked oatmeal, I’m sure you’ll love it. It’s really become a favorite breakfast around here.
