After publishing the Single Serving Baked Oatmeal recipe almost three years ago, I’ve received many inquiries about a possible family-friendly version that yields more than one serving.
Since simply multiplying every ingredient in a recipe for a larger serving doesn’t always work, I had to play around with this one for a while. But I love the final results. And even if you’re a single lady, you can still make today’s baked oatmeal recipe.
Leftover oatmeal servings freeze really well… so you’ll never again have to worry about breakfast on rushed mornings!
The convenience of knowing you can have leftover baked oatmeal whenever you want is so fantastic I’m not sure I’ll ever make the single-serving version again!
Baked Oatmeal Recipe – Family Size
Baked Oatmeal Recipe – Family Size
Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats (320g)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp uncut stevia OR 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 2/3 cups applesauce (640g)
- 1 1/4 cups milk of choice or water (reduce by 1/2 cup if using liquid sweetener above)
- 1/4 cup oil OR more milk of choice or water
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional cinnamon, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, raisins…
Instructions
Baked oatmeal recipe: Grease a 9×13 rectangular pan and set aside. Preheat oven to 380F. In a very large mixing bowl, fully stir together all dry ingredients, then add all remaining ingredients. Transfer to the pan, smooth down with a spatula, and bake 28 minutes, broiling the final minute if desired. Then, keeping the oven door CLOSED, turn off the heat. Leave the pan in the closed oven for another 25 minutes. When the time is up, remove from the oven. Cut into bars or squares, and top with syrup or coconut butter or whatever you wish! Leftovers should be stored in the fridge, or freeze for up to a month. They freeze really well! I like to take one from the freezer and put it (covered) in the fridge the night before I want to eat it for breakfast.
Question of the Day:
Are you a fan of leftovers?
I love leftovers and will often double or triple a recipe just to have extras to put in the freezer for a rainy lazy day. Soups, stews, chili, and even cookies… they are all portioned out and placed in the freezer. The only problem is that the freezer is barely big enough to hold it all!

Hello Katie.
Thank you for your website work and creativity. Question on this recipe about the calorie count if it is made as the sugar free option. What would it be?
Thanks.
it appears as though it is already calculated using the sugar free (and oil free) option. if you made it using the maple syrup it would have 125 calories and 10g sugar per serving.
THANK YOU!!! I am making this as soon as possible, maybe even today. Nice pouring shot too 🙂
Reporting back: It was delicious! The kids devoured their servings and even my husband gave it his thumbs up of approval. I followed the recipe exactly and was very happy with the results.
Thank you!!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you for the recipe and beautiful photos!
Gorgeous photos, and as a mom of three I will be trying the recipe. I usually skip over the single serving recipes (except for your chocolate mug cake. Love that one!)
Thanks for all your hard work. We use your recipes often.
oh my mom would love this! She’s all about the family sized things you can bake! I’m a fan of some leftovers… meatloaf and mac n cheese being a YES!
I LOVE leftovers! And I love your baked oatmeal recipes! So this recipe is PERFECT for me!
Hi Katie,
I’ve been looking for a baked oatmeal recipe and I’m looking forward to trying this. Can you tell me how many liquid stevia drops to use instead of the maple syrup. Thanks.

I simply treat your breakfast cupcakes as individual servings of baked oatmeal, freezing what I won’t get through in a week. These are a staple for my husband and I (and now our 8 month old). Fantastic stuff.
Gorgeous!
I can’t wait to try this; looks like a great fall breakfast. I am a big fan of leftovers!! We are always eating leftovers!! 🙂
I love leftover desserts… It means more for me!
Katie, I’ve noticed you use pure maple syrup on a couple of your recipe’s. I don’t particularly like the taste of Stevia…is there another substitute for either one of these ingredients I can use? I would love to add maple syrup but we don’t have PURE maple syrup in Ecuador only the fake stuff… 🙁 Would love if you could help with this. I love your recipes…follow you on instagram too!
Thanks! TC

You can use honey or any other liquid sweetener you can find. If not, I’m sure you can use sugar and adjust it according to taste
You can use honey or agave in any case that calls for maple syrup. They are the same level of sweetness.
Leftovers are a godsend for me as college lunches and dinners for the four nights a week when I’m too drained to make anything. I’ve also begun “take-out Tuesday” to give myself a break from cooking- but I ALWAYS choose the healthy places, I swear! My stomach wouldn’t be able to fare a Chipotle bowl every week.
Oh man, I love leftovers and bulk cooking. It boggles my mind that some people *don’t* want to take home food from restaurants that they didn’t finish but that they did like.
I could totally do this for breakfast! I love it because I could bring a square all week and make them on Sunday nights. I’ve pinned this, thanks for sharing!
Hooray for leftovers! This looks great, Katie, I might make it while my cousin is in town this weekend. Thanks for sharing! By the way, I put up the first video I’ve edited with Final Cut Pro (uber fancy video editing software) and shot in 1080p on my YouTube channel the other day and it would mean so much to me if you would take a look, Katie! I really admire your food photography skills and I worked really hard on getting the shots for this video perfect. Here is the link if you’re at all interested: http://youtu.be/eoWC-3IfG74
Thanks for the recipe and consideration of watching! I hope you have an awesome day 🙂

Hey Katie! You know what you should do?? You should make a yogurt sauce like the stuff they dip pretzels in but make it healthy and drizzle it over the oatmeal bars to make it a fun 4th of July breakfast!! Let me know what you think!
Man, that looks so goood! so few ingredients as well 😉
SO happy you created a family size! Thank you! Looking forward to more baked oatmeal recipes that serve families. 😉 (hint, hint…)
Baked Oatmeal is supeerrrrrr yummy and I love how you made a family size portion of this! I will be making this and freezing it for easy morning breakies! Love it! Pinned! 🙂
