Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with butter.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the milk, egg, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and stir until combined.
- Step 3
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the fruit and nuts evenly on top, if using.
- Step 4
Bake, uncovered, until just set in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then scoop onto plates or cut into squares and serve with additional maple syrup on the side, if desired.
- Cover leftover baked oatmeal with foil and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat, covered, at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until heated through. You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Private Notes

Amish oatmeal is a family favorite and a healthy and tasty breakfast. I use less sugar and no maple syrup/honey in the recipe, and allow people to add at the table. Never baked in banana - but have baked in a chopped apple. Sprinkling most of the brown sugar on the top just before baking adds a wonderful crunch. Serve with a ton of toppings on the side - yogurt, milk or cream, berries of all sorts, fresh sliced peaches, toasted and/or candied nuts, syrup, honey, brown sugar.
Something I started to do: I always read through the notes to see what people have done and what might be good to try but wanted a way to keep the recipe and notes on one piece of paper if possible. So I take a snap of the recipe, put it on a document page and then add the snaps of peoples suggestions for my own use. Also if I remember I also add nutritional info
Here's what I used and added: 1 cup of diced strawberries, 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, toasted chopped pecans, 1 Tbls chia seeds, and only had quick-cooking oats on hand. This turned out so delicious that it reminded me of a strawberry cobbler.
Commenting again after making this several more times to say that you can definitely mix this up the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning. I prefer mixing the melted butter with the dry ingredients and then stirring in the other wet ingredients so I don’t get little butter globules floating on top.
This is a winner. It made breakfast easier and more nutritious than instant oatmeal for my daughter.
I found it a bit too sweet and rich. Maybe for a holiday brunch but not for an everyday breakfast. I used frozen blueberries and pumpkin seeds and the combo was great, but I would cut back on sugar and fat in the future for a quick-grab, workday morning breakfast.
