Hearty Baked Oatmeal is a wholesome and comforting breakfast dish that transforms simple oats into a warm, satisfying casserole. Made with rolled oats, milk, and a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, this baked oatmeal is lightly sweetened with honey or maple syrup and studded with your choice of fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips.
