Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the oatmeal squares to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into 9 squares and serve. These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
