Baked oatmeal is a quick and easy way to prepare a bowl of oatmeal for the whole family. It's an all-in-one casserole of oats, milk, maple syrup or honey, eggs, and flavorings. Made with ingredients from your pantry, baked oatmeal is an excellent alternative to packaged instant oatmeal, and it offers much more texture and flavor.

The flavor possibilities are limitless. Mix-ins can include a cup or two of berries, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, raisins or currants, dried cranberries, or chopped dates, or add another fresh or frozen (unthawed) fruit. You may also add mashed ripe banana or about 1/4 cup of applesauce to the mixture, or swirl in a few tablespoons of your favorite fruit preserves just before baking.

Baked oatmeal is generally gluten-free, but always check the label on your oats to be sure. You can even make the dish vegan if you like, using non-dairy milk and an egg substitute. Serve baked oatmeal with yogurt, or drizzle with fresh fruit syrup.
