Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Streusel Topping
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir them together evenly to distribute all dry components.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter until fully blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl and stir until all components are thoroughly combined. Then transfer this mixture into the greased baking dish.
- Make Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until the mixture forms crumbly clumps. Sprinkle this streusel evenly over the top of the oatmeal mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set in the center and the top has turned a light golden brown color.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy your delicious, comforting coffee cake baked oatmeal.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruits to the oatmeal mix for extra texture and flavor.
- Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; check the center for firmness before removing.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated for a quick breakfast.
- For a crispier topping, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
