Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?

I really recommend sticking with old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Quick oats tend to get mushy in baked dishes, and you’ll lose that lovely, hearty bite that makes this recipe so satisfying.

How do I know when it’s done baking?

Look for a golden brown top that springs back lightly when touched. The center should be set but still have a tiny bit of jiggle – it’ll finish cooking as it cools.

Can I make this without the glaze?

Absolutely! It’s delicious on its own, especially if you want to keep it less sweet. You could also try a dusting of powdered sugar or serve it with fresh fruit instead.

What’s the bestfle way to cut clean squares?

Let it cool for the full 10 minutes, then use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts. If you’re having trouble, try running the knife under warm water and drying it between cuts.

Can I substitute the maple syrup?

You can use honey or even additional brown sugar, but maple syrup really gives this recipe its special flavor. If you must substitute, use the same amount of honey or add an extra 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the oats, baking powder and cinnamon until all of the ingredients are combined.
Let the oatmeal batter sit for 10 minutes to absorb all of the ingredients. Spread the oatmeal batter evenly into the greased baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top looks golden brown.
While the oatmeal is baking you can make the icing. Simply whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until icing has formed. If the icing seems too thick, add more milk. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
Once the oatmeal is baked let cool for 10 minutes and slice into squares. Drizzle with icing and serve immediately. It is best when served fresh and warm, enjoy!

Notes

For best texture, use rolled oats. You can substitute dairy-free milk and coconut oil for a vegan version.
