How to Make Absolute Best Ovenight Baked Oatmeal

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped apples, blueberries, and nuts (if using).
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Insert a toothpick in the center to test for doneness - it should come out clean.
  6. Let cool completely before covering and refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven for a warm breakfast, or enjoy cold straight from the refrigerator.
