Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish evenly to prevent sticking.

- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated and the batter is consistent.

- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes, then cut into portions and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use plant-based milk and coconut oil to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- The cinnamon sugar swirl is key to achieving the cinnamon roll flavor – don’t skip or mix it directly into the batter.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick breakfast.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or raisins before baking.
