If you’re looking for something to spice up your breakfast routine, this overnight baked pineapple oatmeal is the place for you. That is fun! It tastes like an upside down pineapple cake, but full of whole grains made from the oats (and probably a little less sugar, ha).
You certainly don’t have to serve this like a cake – this is what it will look like when it comes out of the oven. When I’m not taking photos of my overnight baked oatmeal for the world to see, I tend to just scoop it out of the cake pan into a bowl to eat while sipping my coffee. I’m so chic.
Why overnight? The convenience, of course, is that in the morning all you have to do is put the pan in the oven and wait. So that’s nice. But even since the oat flakes are left in the refrigerator overnight, they absorb the moisture and bake nice and soft, almost like a cake.
I love this pineapple oatmeal baked overnight! Every bite with a cherry feels special, ha. Enjoy. xx. Emma

Can of pineapple rings, 1/2 cup of juice reserved -
2
tablespoon

-
Place the pineapple rings and cherries on the bottom of a buttered cake pan. You will likely have a few pineapple rings left – cut these into small pieces to add to the batter.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the oatmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
-
In a smaller bowl, mix together the milk, egg, melted and cooled butter and vanilla extract.
-
Combine the wet and dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir. Then stir in the chopped pineapple pieces.
-
Put this mixture in a cake pan, add your pineapple and cherry pieces, cover and store in the refrigerator overnight.
-
In the morning, remove the lid and bake at 350 ° F for 30-35 minutes. If you want something a little more unusual, you can throw the slightly cooled pan onto a cutting board so that you can see the pineapple slices. But it’s not necessary – just a fun presentation.
