Pop it in the fridge to bake later (covered tightly in plastic wrap) or straight into the oven to enjoy now!
How Long to Bake Oatmeal
How long to bake oatmeal depends on the size of the pan and the thickness of the oatmeal.
This recipe calls to bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the center is set, in a 9×9 pan.

- For a loaf sized pan (like a banana bread pan) bake for 50 minutes.
How to Store Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal can even be frozen in squares or slices then thawed the night before for an instant hearty breakfast the next morning!
How to Reheat Baked Oatmeal
- Once oatmeal is thawed, simply reheat it in the microwave!
- Slices of baked oatmeal can be toasted in a dry skillet.
- If baked the night before, reheating the next day is super easy in the microwave, stovetop, or oven!
