Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • For the cinnamon swirl:
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the milk, egg, 3 tbsp melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the baking powder, salt, and oats. Pour into the dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon swirl ingredients (3 tbsp butter, brown sugar, cinnamon) until they form a thick paste.
  3. Dollop the cinnamon paste over the oat mixture, then swirl gently with a knife to create ribbons.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and set.
  5. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 tsp milk, and vanilla until smooth, adding more milk if needed. Let the oatmeal cool 5 minutes, then drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm.

Notes

Let the baked oatmeal rest 5 minutes before slicing; it firms up as it cools. For a gluten-free version, swap in certified gluten-free oats.
