Who doesn’t love a big, fluffy cinnamon roll dripping in sugary-sweet icing?

Oh man… I’m already drooling! I could eat cinnamon rolls for breakfast every day of my life, but that’s probably not the healthiest way to go… a girl can dream though, right?

So the next best thing is a healthy bowl of easy baked oatmeal topped with a cinnamon-filled brown sugar drizzle and a smear of cream cheese icing. Definitely lighter, but still EVERY bit as delicious!

You guys know I’m a big fan of baked oatmeal… apple cinnamon, blueberry lemon… I make it all the time. Not only is it a good meal to start your day with, but this recipe can feed a crowd and happens to reheat beautifully if you don’t eat it all right away. You can make a big batch of oatmeal on the weekend and have a good breakfast ready to go for the rest of the week! Now this particular version of baked oatmeal probably isn’t the healthiest of the flavors I’ve made, but it is definitely the most delicious. The cinnamon drizzle gives a sugary crunch to the oatmeal that I just love!

Go ahead… grab a spoon and dive right in, my friends! This cinnamon roll is waiting for you!

Delicious, easy baked oatmeal with a sweet cinnamon drizzle and cream cheese icing!
Author: Liz Fourez
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Cinnamon Topping:
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons cinnamon

  • Cream Cheese Icing:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray an 8" square baking dish or pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla. Slowly pour in the melted butter, whisking constantly.
  3. Add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Transfer to the greased baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
  4. While the oatmeal bakes, prepare the cinnamon topping by mixing the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together until combined. Then in a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk to prepare the cream cheese icing. Drizzle the cinnamon topping and cream cheese icing over the baked oatmeal before serving.
NOTES
- If you want to make a pretty design on the top of your baked oatmeal, set the cinnamon topping and cream cheese icing in the refrigerator while the oatmeal bakes so it has a chance to thicken up a bit first.

    This was AMAZING! And this is coming from someone who hates oatmeal! It’s the perfect texture–not soggy, but not too dry either. I’m on a Low Fodmap diet for some GI issues and it has been incredibly difficult to find something to eat that I actually like, so I’ve been eating this every day! I made this recipe using GF oats and Lactaid and omitted the cream cheese per my food restrictions and it was still out of this world! I can’t wait until I’m able to eat more normally again and can add the cream cheese! Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe!

    This looks absolutely sinful! I haven’t had oatmeal, especially baked oatmeal, in awhile I think it’s just the thing to switch up my recent breakfasts.

    Could you double it and out it in a 9×13 pan? If so, what would the difference in cooking temperature /time be? Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it! I’m especially excited that even my multiple food allergies daughter can have it!

      Absolutely! A double recipe of this would probably fit perfectly in a 9×13, and the cooking time/temp shouldn’t change much… maybe just add 5 more minutes and see how it looks. You’ll have to let me know how your daughter likes it!

    How does it manage in the fridge after baking ? or is it better to eat right away? wondering if I can make today and eat tomorrow? Thanks!

    So, you were going for something healthier than a cinnamon roll… but I actually use your icing for my cinnamon rolls. I feel slightly guilty, but not really–it’s perfect on cinnamon rolls, too. 😉
