- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter until smooth and cohesive.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until completely combined, forming the oatmeal batter.
- Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly and evenly combined for a sweet and crunchy topping.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the oatmeal batter into the prepared baking dish, then evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy the comforting flavors and hearty texture of your coffee cake baked oatmeal.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- For added flavor and texture, consider stirring in nuts or dried fruits into the batter before baking.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the oatmeal moist and tender.
- This dish can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated for a quick breakfast.
- Use pure maple syrup for the best natural sweetness.
