Are baked oats recipes the same as oatmeal?

There is a difference between baked oats and oatmeal. Baked oats have a cake-like texture because there is an egg in them.

How long does baked oatmeal last?

It really depends on how fast your family will eat it, LOL. My 11-year-old son took out half of this pan of baked oatmeal in one morning! Ideally, though, this baked oatmeal recipe will last a few days. If you’re serving baked oatmeal for one, wrap each portion individually once it’s baked and cooled and store it in the fridge or freezer.

How to reheat baked oatmeal?

Refrigerated baked oatmeal can be reheated in the microwave, or you can put it in a preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes. Frozen baked oatmeal should be brought to room temperature before reheating. To make this part of your routine, I’d take it out of the freezer the night before and put it in the fridge. That way it’s just cold in the morning, instead of a frozen rock of oatmeal! Then again, you could eat it cold too if you want! Overnight Oats are cold, so why not cold baked oatmeal too?

How do I add baking with oatmeal recipes to weekly meal prep?

Since baked oatmeal is great left over, I recommend baking a large pan early in the week and letting it cool before cutting it into squares. Then you can store however many squares you want per serving, separately. Since baked oatmeal recipes will last for a few months in the freezer, feel free to make several batches at once. I have three glass 9″x13″pans and at the rate my kids eat this, I wouldn’t hesitate to make a triple or quadruple batch for the freezer!

Pour the fruit, minus the reserved portion, into the bottom of an 8”x8” or 9”x9” glass baking dish.
Meanwhile, whisk together the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients and stir well.
Pour the oatmeal over the fruit and use a spatula to distribute evenly. Gently pat down any dry oats sitting on top.
Sprinkle the reserved fruit on top of the oatmeal and bake for 42-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

How to Store:

If you’re serving it the next morning, I personally keep the baked oatmeal out on the counter.
To store longer than one day, baked oatmeal should be refrigerated. Cover the dish and you’ll be good for 3-5 days.
To store longer than a few days, freeze baked oatmeal! I recommend portioning the baked oatmeal first and storing it in individual servings.

How to Make a Double Batch:

The recipe as written uses a square baking dish, but you can use a 9″x13″ baking dish and increase the baking time.
