Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal
Drizzle a bit of warmed half and half into your bowl of Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal for a breakfast you’ll wish would never end!
Ingredients
Make-Ahead Dry Oatmeal Mix
- 5 cups old-fashioned oats (not quick cooking oats)
- 2½ cups dry milk powder
- 2½ cups packed brown sugar, plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top
- 2½ cups raisins
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Morton kosher salt
For 1 Serving of Baked Oatmeal
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter + 1 teaspoon for topping
- ½ cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
Make-Ahead Dry Oatmeal Mix:
- In a large bowl, combine oats, dry milk, brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon, and salt. Transfer to an airtight container to store.
For a single serving of Baked Oatmeal:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small oven-proof bowl, combine a generous ½ cup Dry Oatmeal Mix, ½ tablespoon butter, and ½ cup boiling water. Stir to combine. (Adjust the proportions if you'd like a larger serving. To double the serving size, use 1 cup Dry Oatmeal Mix, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 cup boiling water.)
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the oatmeal is a bit browned and bubbly at the edges. Remove bowl from oven and place 1 teaspoon butter on the top center of the oatmeal. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon brown sugar over the butter.
- Return bowl to oven and broil the oatmeal until the butter and brown sugar on top caramelizes and bubbles, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve hot. I like to drizzle warmed half & half over the top!
