When it comes to making fuss-free breakfast that is equally delicious as it is nutritious and healthy, baked oatmeal is definitely a winner with my family. Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal always gets my boys jumping out of the bed in the morning.

But when I look to make something really EASY and not overly complicated that is sweet and delicious and makes you feel like you're eating dessert for breakfast, then I make this Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Bake.

This beauty is what I call the perfect healthy breakfast. It's tasty and so sweet, loaded with caramel + cinnamon roll flavor, soft and chewy. + Utterly HEALTHY, packed with so many nutrients that are good for our heart, digestion, and overall health. + Super easy to make, with only a few stapled ingredients. You can even prepare everything in the evening and in the morning you just turn the oven. While you're making the coffee and slowly sliding in the morning, breakfast is baking in the oven.

I absolutely love it. From the taste, which is PERFECT - just imagine cinnamon roll in a super HEALTHY version... for BREAKFAST! Oh yes!!! To the scent which reminds me of cozy fallish / winterish morning. To many ways you can serve this beautiful baked oatmeal and toppings you can use - berries, apples, nuts and creamy yogurts. Just one big perfection! When served hot straight from the oven, it's just irresistible. I promise, you're gonna love this healthy baked oatmeal as much as I do.

Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Bake ingredients

This baked oatmeal calls only for a few simple ingredients you probably have in your house already:

  • OATS: Oats are stapled in my house and I use them daily. It's one of my favorite grain actually. Why? Well, oats are a super healthy, and by super, I mean SUPER! They are great source of fiber, especially beta-glucan that is known for its power to lower cholesterol and therefore keep your heart healthy (1). Also, oats are high in vitamins, minerals, and some powerful antioxidants. + Proteins. YES, proteins!! They are complete nutritious food that is so versatile. I usually use quick oats when I'm baking but in this recipe you can substitute them with rolled oats.  
  • CEYLON CINNAMON: Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true” cinnamon, is a highly delicious spice with many health benefits. Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. (2, 3) Cinnamon gave this baked oatmeal a truly wonderful flavor.
  • ALMOND BUTTER: Almond butter is so HEALTHY. It’s loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats, fibers, proteins, and many important minerals and vitamins – especially vitamin E and magnesium (4). Almonds are also an excellent source of powerful antioxidants that protect our cells from oxidative damage, a major contributor to aging and disease. (5) I added almond butter here to enrich the meal with nutrients. It also added subtile nutty flavor to this oatmeal bake. 
  • SWEETENER: I used coconut sugar here. It gave subtle sweetness yet didn’t overloaded the meal with just empty sugar calories. Also coconut sugar has this delicious and strong caramel taste which added so much cinnamon roll flavor in this oatmeal bake. That's why I use coconut sugar sporadicly in dishes that calls for such taste. While coconut sugar is still a sugar and should be avoided or used in moderation, it still has some advantages over refined white table sugar. Coconut sugar is derived from the coconut palm tree and less processed, meaning it contains small amounts of minerals, antioxidants and fiber called inulin, which slows glucose absorption. That's why coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than regular table sugar. (6)  

I also tossed in some superfood HEMP SEEDS. Hemp seeds are loaded with healthy fats. They are exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-3 but also a great source of high-quality proteins. (7) Hemps seeds enriched this Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Bake with nutrients and made it filling and super healthy.

Other pantry ingredients you’ll need:

    • Eggs
    • Milk
    • Vanilla extract
    • All spice
    • Salt
    • Baking powder

How to make Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Bake

  • Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and heat to 356F (180C).
  • Line the bottom of an 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Prepare and measure all ingredients using measuring cups.
  • In a small glass or stainless steel mixing bowl add measured 3 cups of oats, 1/4 cup hemp seeds, 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon Ceylon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Use silicone spatula to mix the dry ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine 2 eggs with 1 cup milk. Use the whisk and mix it until you get even mixture. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 cup almond butter. 
  • When the batter looks well blended, add in the dry ingredients. Using the spatula mix everything until fully combined. If mixture is crumbly and too dry, add a dash more milk until a thick batter is formed.
  • Transfer the mixture into prepared baking pan. 
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch the oatmeal and don’t over-bake it. 
  • Get the oatmeal out of the oven. Leave it to cool for few minutes in the pan.  
  • Serve topped with fresh fruits (chopped apples or bananas) and honey or maple syrup.

Substitutions

  • I like to use quick oats here, but you can substitute quick oats with rolled oats. Rolled oats will give denser oatmeal bake.
  • You can substitute coconut sugar with maple syrup or honey. Make sure honey is not raw but in liquid, runny form. 
  • Substitute HEMP SEEDS with ground flex seeds or chia seeds.
  • Make it vegan: Use flax or chia egg. 

Tips for storing 

  • Keep sliced Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Bake in a air-tight food container. It will last up to 5 days.
  • You can keep them in fridge. That way it will last longer.
  • Place the sliced oatmeal bake in a zip-lock bag and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw the slices on room temperature before serving. Don't use microwave to thaw them. 

Tips for serving 

  • Serve freshly baked topped with fruits: blueberries, banana slices, chopped apples.  
  • Top it with yogurt and maple syrup or honey to make it more sweeter. 
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon to add more flavor. 
  • Crumble in bowl and add milk. 
  • Sprinkle with chopped nuts to add some crunchiness.

    What would I need to do to steel cut oats to use them? I have two huge containers of them when my husband bought the wrong oats!
