Notes

Top tips

If you need this to be gluten free, be sure to use certified gluten free oats
Wait to add the frosting until the oatmeal has cooled or it will melt. If you find that it was too warm when you added the frosting, you can quickly transfer the baked oatmeal to the fridge to let the frosting set.
To double the recipe, transfer this to a 9X13 casserole dish and add 5-10 minutes to baking time.
If you want a creamier consistency, serve the oats warm from the oven. As the baked cinnamon roll oatmeal cools, it sets up and is less creamy and more structured.
Make this into cinnamon roll oatmeal bars that travel well. Allow the cinnamon roll baked oats to cool completely then cut into equal size bars. Store in the fridge. Reheat in microwave or toaster oven.

Add frosting to cinnamon roll baked oats

Coconut butter (be sure it's warm - you can leave it by the oven while the cinnamon roll baked oatmeal is baking. Coconut butter doesn’t have any added sugar or sweetness but naturally has a slight sweet flavor and it’s so creamy and soft. The perfect natural frosting.
Maple cashew frosting - this will be more like the cream cheese frosting you are used to seeing on cinnamon buns. You can make the cashew frosting while the oatmeal is baking.
Maple yogurt drizzle - combine 1 tablespoons maple syrup with 1/4 cup greek style yogurt
Nut butter - almond butter, sunflower seed butter, cashew butter. This won’t be sweet but will add a creamy element to the cinnamon bun baked oats.
