Have You Tried Baking Your Oatmeal Yet? Plus: 7 Recipes to Make Right Now

I love these baked steel cut oats. When the mixture bakes, it separates into distinct layers, the nuts forming a crisp-like topping, the creamy oats and custard forming the foundation. Flavored with maple syrup and vanilla, the oats remain firm and chewy, which along with the nuts offer the loveliest texture throughout. I could eat the whole pan in one sitting.

This is one of those recipes that is infinitely customizable to your preferences — you can make it dairy-free, vegan, with or without nuts, and with any fruit your heart desires. I love it with thinly sliced apples in the fall and winter and with blueberries (and other fruit) in the spring and summer.

The whole thing can be assembled the night before and popped in the oven the following morning. Or it can be assembled and baked immediately.
