I don't like oatmeal and still thought this was very good. It doesn't have that make you gag mushy oatmeal texture and that is great. It was more like a crisp. I can't wait to try again with some blueberries mixed in. I placed in ramikins and baked 40 minutes. -
I love trying oatmeal recipes because I decided to teach myself to enjoy it. I've gone way beyond that to truly loving oatmeal, if prepared properly. This is a great way! It is different from my baked oatmeal recipe in that it does not get dry like a thick cookie consitency (and has no oil!) I scaled the recipe to 2 servings and baked in a loaf pan. I used old fashioned oats. I love the texture, the grains soft and wet (as you said, jiggly!) but still separate grains instead of the mush that I grew up with. After cooling my brown sugar topping turned crunchy and was delicious. I think nice variations could include raisins, apples, walnuts, or cinnamon. Thanks for a great recipe! -
I love this recipe. Oh and blueberries with oatmeal. Thank you. Perhaps banana nut next time. My wife may like this with peaches. My son with strawberries. The possibilities are endless. -
Made this today for breakfast for BF and I. He really liked it and I just thought it was ok. Used splenda brown sugar on top which worked out great as well as old fashioned oats. Thanks for sharing. -
This was very good! I used less sugar than called for, and it still came out tasting decadent. Very easy with a good texture. Will definitely make again.

This is so fabulous! I did use 1/2 cup of French Vanilla coffee creamer in place of some milk and it added a wonderful flavor. I took this out of the oven about 7 minutes early. Do not overbake or it will not be creamy! I loved that it didn't need minding. This is great warm or cold and we had it for our breakfast, snack, and dessert today! Update: I make this without the brown sugar and serve warm with blueberry sauce for a hearty snack/dessert. Roxygirl -
After seeing Bev's wonderful photo, I knew I had to give this a try. I reduced the recipe to serve 2 and used Splenda in the dry mix. The dish was cooked in less time than indicated but possibly was a result of the reduced quantity. I used the full amount of brown sugar on the top and instead of placing it under the broiler used my brulee torch to caramelize the sugar. Next time around I think I will add some of the options mentioned as well as reducing the sugar on top. A delicious recipe!
