Easy Baked Oatmeal with Quick Oats
This baked oatmeal with quick oats recipe features spicy ginger and deliciously sweet dried apricots. The oats absorb the custard like vanilla flavored liquid making for a perfect creamy texture. The top is golden brown creating crust around the sides and top. There is a satisfying contrast between the creamy interior and crispy-caramelized edges. You can add any additions to finish, such as a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
Berry baked oatmeal has become wildly popular online since some viral Tik Tok recipes kicked off last winter. When constructing this recipe I originally wanted to make a peach baked oatmeal recipe with fresh peaches and ginger, but its winter here in Maine and there are no good peaches to be found. I decided to add dried apricots instead because they are a good peach substitute and are a common dried fruit that you can get year round. The combination of apricot and ginger is a winner, for sure!
I think this is the best baked oatmeal with quick oats – it is simple and easy. This recipe holds well in the fridge for breakfast or an afternoon snack for many days. I think the apricots and ginger add something extra special that make it feel elevated and more interesting then your common run of the mill amish baked oatmeal .
