Maple Nut Baked Oatmeal

baked oatmeal-6514

As the weather cools down, I’m loving warm and homey breakfasts more and more! You guys know what a big fan of breakfast I am — it’s my favorite meal of the day. I swear I could eat breakfast food all day every day and be a happy camper.

Some of my all time favorite breakfasts include Taco Deli breakfast tacos in Austin, banana foster waffles from a small cafe in my hometown, french toast with crispy pancetta from an Italian cafe down the street, homemade buttermilk pancakes, and a certain baked oatmeal I used to eat all the time at camp when I was in high school. They served it with big pitchers of cold milk and little bowls of dark brown sugar and raisins for sprinkling. Well, I’m not a big fan of raisins so I went with nuts instead. I can still close my eyes and taste how delicious that baked oatmeal was. This is my effort to recreate it! Not to toot my own horn, but I don’t think it’s too far off. Not to mention, the perfect fall breakfast!

This is the final recipe I worked on for Starbucks to pair with their Pike Place Roast K-Cups. In my mind, there’s nothing better than a good breakfast with a steaming mug of coffee {and maybe a side of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice}. This baked oatmeal is also great because you can make it the night before and just re-heat in the morning. It’s easy to cut into perfectly portioned squares and reheat in the microwave the morning of.

The combination of the brown sugar, maple syrup and nuts is just perfect here without making the oatmeal too sweet. It’s the sort of breakfast you eat in fuzzy jammies and slippers while slurping your coffee in your favorite mug. I hope y’all love it as much as I do!

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts

I am working with Starbucks to develop recipes that pair with their new flavors of K-Cup coffees and, thus, was compensated for my work. Naturally, all opinions are my own.

    This sounds delicious!! Since I’m vegan, do you think I could replace the eggs with something else? Or are they essential to this dish? I know anytime anyone makes substitutions it isn’t known how it will turn out but I was just wondering if you had any ideas.
    Thanks so much!

    This looks lovely but I think I would prefer it for dessert rather than breakfast! I’m Irish and my breakfast consists of porridge (oatmeal) made with water and served with a spoon of natural yoghurt with a small spoon of nutella or fresh berries. I was shocked when I spent time in the US how different your breakfasts are! πŸ™‚

    Do you think the ratio of wet to dry ingredients would need to change using quick oats instead of old fashioned?

    Can someone describe what baked oatmeal’s texture is like and how you eat it? Is it like a Quaker oatmeal breakfast bar or a granola bar or an oatmeal bar cookie? It looks here like you pour milk on it like cereal? Help! It sounds intriguing, but before I go make it, I’d like to know how it’s supposed to turn out. I keep seeing recipes for it, but no one ever explains what the heck it is! Thanks!

      Jenna is a trained chef. She does recipe creation for a living. Would you prefer that when a company pays her to create a recipe she never ever shares the recipe with us?

      Or that when a company seeks her professional expertise she offers to work for free….. Cause I sure know that I don’t work for free.

      So interesting how cranky people can get when a blogger who they read for free all the time happens to post something that they are compensated for. I just don’t get why bloggers should not be paid for their good work that we all benefit from? I love how Jenna keeps it organic to who she is while being compensated. Nice job.

    I love oatmeal, but I pretty much always use steel-cut oats now.

    Think this recipe would work with them? Or maybe I’d have to increase the liquids and/or cooking time?

    Just made this today and it’s great! I cut back on the sugar and butter a bit and added a variety of nuts since I didn’t have enough walnuts. Ate it with some milk (and cream!) and more nuts in a bowl. I used a deeper dish so had to bake a little longer. Will definitely make again!

    Amazing! I hate oatmeal because of the texture, but Ive always wished I could eat it cause it just smells so damn good! This is the best of all breakfast worlds!! No nasty texture, perfect sweetness and nutty crunch – I live for this in the morning! I toast it up in the oven to get it all warm and eat it with just a lil milk and sliced bananas. Delish… thanks for another great recipe.

    Thanks for sharing this recipe! I was looking for a baked oatmeal recipe that I could adapt a bit so that it wouldn’t have a ton of sugar, and so we could add our own syrup to taste.

    I followed your instructions, but instead of the sugar and maple syrup, I used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and I added 1/2 cup dried cranberries (sweetened with apple juice).

    It turned out really good! One thing I would do the next time I make this with this modification is to cut back the butter by a tablespoon or two.

    Yummy recipe! I did modify it a bit….in place of the two eggs, I used two flax eggs instead (2 TBSP flax, 6 TBSP water) and added just a little bit of flour when it looked too wet. Used about 1/3 cup brown sugar instead of 1/2 cup, and 2 and 1/2 TBSP butter instead of 4….came out very tasty! I baked it in a 9 X 9 dish for 55 minutes and it came out perfectly. For some reason, when I’ve had baked oatmeal before, I didn’t like the texture, I think because of the eggs in it, but the texture with the flax eggs doesn’t bother me at all. I cut in into squares (I made mine into 9 serving sizes) and then eat a square with a spoonful of homemade peanut butter on top. Delish!

    just baked, but didn’t have walnuts, so used what I had in house and experimented. I added sliced almonds with a handful of choc chips (every one needs a little chocolate, right? :)). It turned out great. The almond gives it a nice subtle nuttiness. It is not overly sweet, but just about right.

    I paired it with my Starbucks house blend coffee…nice combo (I don’t have K Cups, but still good :)).

    Thanks for sharing. I want to try the overnight oatmeal next :).
