Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • For the cream cheese drizzle:
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes until edges pull away slightly and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. While baking, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzleable.
  8. Let the baked oats cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top.
  9. Serve warm, cut into squares or scoop with a spoon.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats may get mushy. Do not overmix batter to avoid dense texture. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Softened cream cheese is key for smooth drizzle. Bake immediately after mixing for best results.
