This Baked Oatmeal Treat Recipe by Lemon Tree Dwelling is a hearty and delicious, filled with oats recipe. Perfect for breakfast or everyday snacks!
Hello and Happy New Year, Friends! It’s Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling, here today to share this delicious Trailside Treat Baked Oatmeal with you. This recipe is perfect because it feels like a treat, but it’s actually just oatmeal with a twist! It’s a great recipe to make ahead and share with friends, or keep in the fridge so you’ll have breakfast for the week. You can’t go wrong with chocolate chips…..especially for breakfast, am I right?
It’s based on one of my favorite cookies from childhood – Trailside Oatmeal Treats! Have you had them? They’re hearty and delicious, filled with oats and peanut butter and chocolate chips and raisins. Kind of like a granola bar, in cookie form. And now, in baked oatmeal form!
Just measure, stir, cook, and pour….then bake….and breakfast is served. And if the kids want to help? Even better! This is the perfect recipe for them to help with. Doesn’t it look amazing??? It’s like eating a cookie for breakfast, only it’s guilt free. It doesn’t really get better than that!
- 3 c. old fashioned oats
- 1½ c. brown sugar
- 5½ c. milk
- ½ c. peanut butter
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 c. raisins
- 1 c. chocolate chips
- In a large pot, combine oats, milk, brown sugar, peanut butter, and eggs.
- Mix well and simmer over medium heat, stirring regularly, 20 minutes or until thickened.
- Once mixture is thick, stir in raisins.
- Pour into greased 9x13 inch pan and top with chocolate chips.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until oatmeal is set.
- Let stand 5 minutes.
- Serve warm; top with milk or additional brown sugar if desired.

Would this recipe work with milk substitutes as well? I primarily drink almond milk and would love to try these out! 🙂
I am making these in just a few hours!!
Looks delish! Just wondering what should I expect the consistency to be like?
YUMMO – I am going to have to make these. DELICIOUS!
SOOOO good! 5/5 stars 🙂
How many squares do you normally make out of this? How do you store leftovers? 🙂 Thank you!
Hi, I was just curious is you could make the first part of this let it set overnight and then bake in the morning? I need to bring a dish for my moms group on Friday morning and this sounds perfect but I don’t know if I’d have time for the whole thing in the morning 🙂
I halfed this recipe (using 1 egg) and put it in an 8X8 and it came out perfectly! I think the ones that had a gooey product after baking may not have left it on the stove to heat enough – I think you need to make sure it’s pretty thick before pouring it into the pan. I will definitely try using almond milk next time – that sounds yummy!!
I was just curious how you would store these once they are made and the calorie count per bar.
Hi V – you should store it in an airtight container in the fridge! As for calorie count, I have not calculated that information. Sorry!
So I made these this weekend..AMAZING. A few questions though. I left it in the oven a little longer because it seemed a little too gooey. And also, should I store it in the frig? I feel weird leaving it out.
