Ingredients
- Sugar: I use regular granulated white sugar for this baked oatmeal recipe, but feel free to substitute with your choice of liquid sweetener or coconut sugar.

- Eggs: Two whole eggs are used to bring everything together and make sure it bakes well.
- Milk: A little bit of dairy milk is used for these oats. You can use your favorite kind of dairy-free milk.
- Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract is rich and aromatic and a perfect addition to this cinnamon baked oatmeal.
- Oats: I use “large flake oats” or old-fashioned oats for this oatmeal because they cook well and soak up all of the flavors.
- Baking Powder: You will need some baking powder to make sure everything rises and sticks together.
- Salt: A little bit of sea salt balances everything out!
- Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon is rich, spicy, aromatic, and a great addition to these sweet oats.
- Almonds: Slivered almonds give this oat recipe a light nuttiness and crunch in addition to some protein.
- Raisins: Sweet plump raisins are mixed throughout the oats to create baked oatmeal that is full of sweet surprises.
