Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal Squares Tasty and Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups almond milk
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon milk (to reach desired consistency)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. If using walnuts, fold them into the mixture.
5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
6. Pour half of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the top, then add the remaining oatmeal mixture on top.
7. Using a knife, gently swirl the top layer to create a marbled effect.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
9. While the oatmeal squares are baking, prepare the cream cheese drizzle by mixing the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and milk in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
10. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares, then drizzle with the cream cheese frosting before serving.
