How to Make Amish Baked Oatmeal
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
- Grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Crack 2 large eggs into the dish and beat well with a fork.
- 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.
- Whisk in the melted butter and 1 cup of milk. Add 3 cups of rolled oats.
- Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).

- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with a drizzle of milk or your favorite toppings (fresh berries, nuts, etc.)!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
