How to Make Amish Baked Oatmeal

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
  3. Grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Crack 2 large eggs into the dish and beat well with a fork.
  4. Add 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or nutmeg), and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
  5. Whisk in the melted butter and 1 cup of milk. Add 3 cups of rolled oats.
  6. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
  7. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with a drizzle of milk or your favorite toppings (fresh berries, nuts, etc.)!
