How to Make Healthy Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease your baking dish—this helps everything slide out beautifully later.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a bowl, combine oats, milk, egg, maple syrup, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir until everything is well blended. It should smell like a cozy fall morning already!
Step 3: Create the Cinnamon Swirl
In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. This is where the magic happens—the swirl that mimics a cinnamon roll filling.
Step 4: Assemble
Pour the oat mixture into your baking dish. Gently swirl the cinnamon mixture on top using a spoon or knife.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the top is set and slightly golden. Your kitchen will smell incredible—like a bakery on a Sunday morning.
Step 6: Cool & Enjoy
Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. The texture will be soft, slightly custardy, and absolutely irresistible.
