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.

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.
Easy, fast, and delicious.
This is so delicious! I did frozen blueberries, pecans, and shredded coconut. Left out the brown sugar and it was plenty sweet. I think you could throw just about any fruit and nut combo in and it would be super tasty!
I first made this recipe two weeks ago, and I’ve already remade it two more times since. I only use two tablespoons of dark brown sugar. This can be reduced even further, depending on the sweetness of your fruit. When I made this with frozen blueberries/peanuts/peanut butter, the sweetness was just right. With bananas/pecans, I thought I could reduce or even cut out the brown sugar entirely. I love the flexibility to mix and match. I can pull this together from pantry staples in the time it takes to preheat the oven. I am a habitual breakfast skipper, but I’ve been much better about eating breakfast with this around.
