  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1½ cups steel cut oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups whole milk, or milk of choice, warmed
  • ⅓ cup chopped raw pecans or walnuts
  • ¼ cup demerara or turbinado sugar
  • cream, maple syrup and flaky sea salt for serving, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the oatmeal mixture evenly.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Grease a suitable baking dish with 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter to prevent sticking and add richness.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine steel cut oats, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, kosher salt, chopped nuts, and demerara sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and sugar.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Warm the milk slightly and add it gradually to the dry mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly and ensure the oatmeal absorbs the liquid well.
  5. Pour and dot with butter: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small pieces and dot over the top of the oatmeal.
  6. Bake the oatmeal: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the top is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm topped with cream, maple syrup, and flaky sea salt if desired, enhancing the flavors and richness.

Notes

  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk of your choice, such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of demerara sugar or adding a drizzle of maple syrup at serving.
  • Storage tips: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, and reheat with a splash of milk.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in fresh or dried fruit before baking.
  • This recipe is easily doubled for larger groups or meal prep.
