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

Great breakfast recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Would honey work instead of brown sugar?
this is absolutely delicious!!!! I used gluten free oats, coconut milk and dairy free chocolate buttons and it came out perfectly. Thanks so much for the recipe!
I was wondering if I could substitute the peanut butter? My boyfriend is allergic, so I try not to have peanut butter around.
Otherwise, it sounds delicious!
My son is also allergic. I have been using sun butter as a substitute. It has worked really well for us.
Thank you for the tip Rachel!
I just made these and they turned out FANTASTIC, but I made a few changes to the recepie since other comments said theirs was still too mushy or runny after baking.
I put 1/2 cup less milk, 1/2 cup more oats, let it get SUPER thick, and baked it for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. It turned out great.
I also added cinnamon, and walnuts.
How many calories is this?
How do you get the oatmeal to settle so nicely? I had to put it in the oven for 20 minutes extra and it still wouldn’t settle as nicely. I was so excited to try these out and share them with you but they came out super soft. 🙁 Where did I go wrong?
Amazing pictures, everything looks delicious! Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes 🙂
This recipe is awesome!! I could have eaten the whole pan. Thank you
Has anyone used Quaker Oats Quick 1-minute oats instead of Old Fashioned Oats? That is what I have this morning and was just curious if the time on the stove needed to be adjusted?
