- Preheat the oven and grease your baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix the oatmeal ingredients and let the mixture thicken slightly.

Tips For Making The Best Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal
- Be sure to use rolled or old-fashioned oats for the best results when making this cinnamon roll oatmeal. Quick oats will not hold the texture and become mushy, while steel-cut oats will come out crunchy.
- Whatever you do, don’t overbake the oatmeal! Even if it doesn’t look quite done at first, it will continue to bake in the pan even after you take it out of the oven.
- Don’t dig in right away. You’ll want to let the oatmeal mixture sit 5-10 minutes to thicken before baking. If you don’t it will be a hot runny mess.
- If you like a crunch in your oatmeal try adding some chopped pecans, or your favorite chopped nut.
How Long Does Baked Oatmeal Keep?
Other than the easy prep and amazing flavors, I also love that baked oatmeal is a recipe I can enjoy for more than just a day or two. Baked oatmeal will last about 4-5 days when stored properly.
Ways Store Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal
Since cinnamon roll baked oatmeal contains dairy and eggs, it will need to be stored in the refrigerator. You can simply cover the baking dish with foil or plastic wrap, then place the oatmeal in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it.
Another great option for storing is to separate the whole dish into single servings and place each serving into its own airtight container before you place it in the refrigerator. This way you will have already prepped grab and go breakfast every morning for the whole workweek.
