Cinnamon Raisin Baked Oatmeal
If I had to pick one thing to eat for breakfast for the rest of my life it would be oatmeal. My family has it at least twice a week and it’s something we eat year round. Whether it’s overnight oats or a bowl of warm oatmeal (my go-to). My current favorite is Cinnamon Raisin Baked Oatmeal.
CINNAMON RAISIN BAKED OATMEAL
Have you ever had baked oatmeal? It’s such a great meal prep hack. I will often make baked oatmeal on the weekends and portion it out for the upcoming week. Simply heat up a bowl and breakfast for the week is ready! I also love baked oatmeal for a weekend brunch. So delicious right from the oven and it makes for an easy way to feed a crowd.
INGREDIENTS FOR BAKED OATMEAL
Cinnamon Raisin Baked Oatmeal couldn’t be more simple. My guess is that you already have a lot of the ingredients in your pantry! It’s a simple line up:
-old fashioned rolled oats
-raisins
-chopped pecans
-almond milk (or your favorite milk)
-coconut oil
-vanilla
-brown sugar
-eggs
HOW TO MAKE BAKED OATMEAL
As you can imagine this recipe is super simple! It’s simply a matter of mixing all the ingredients and pouring them into a prepared pan. Bake for under an hour and voile la! Breakfast is served! My favorite way to eat it is drizzled with a bit of cream and some sliced banana. The oatmeal is sweet enough that it doesn’t need anything else. Fresh berries would be nice on top, too.
MAKING BAKED OATMEAL AHEAD: HOW TO STORE IT AND REHEAT IT
When the oatmeal is fully cooled, cut it into portions….roughly 4-inch squares. Store the oatmeal in a glass container with a tight fitting lid. When ready to re-heat put an oatmeal square in a bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and reheat int he microwave for 30 second increments until it’s warm. Drizzle with a splash of cream and maple syrup if desired!
It’s really that simple! Enjoy!

- 2/3 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions

- In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, vanilla and melted coconut oil. Use a whisk to incorporate eggs and mix well. Pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture and stir in raisins and pecans.

We were out of raisins so we tossed in some frozen blueberries. So good!
If this recipe is doubled and baked in a larger dish, say a 9 x 13?, would you need to change anything?
You’ll need to bake it a little longer but otherwise should totally work!
