    Default Quick Question: Baked Oatmeal left out all night safe?

    I'm at my mom's so it's a little chaotic with tons of family. I brought a pan of baked oatmeal (via the recipe from here years ago) and it never got put away because the fridge is so crowded and I forgot. I always refrigerate it at home but maybe it's ok?

    It's baked oatmeal with eggs, almond milk, raisins, etc. What do ya'll think?

    My gut says that it’s no worse than cake or brownies left out, but no personal experience.

    If I make or pick up baked goods (like coffee cake from the bakery) the afternoon before for a morning church thing, I never put it in the fridge over night. Your baked oatmeal might not taste as fresh but should be fine.

    It smelled, looked and tasted fine so we went for it. I am so overly careful about food but I honestly think it's fine. I will certainly update if we feel differently later.

    they're basically oatmeal cookies right? I'd love to see the recipe you're using but when I make oatmeal breakfast cookies, I never refridgerate them. They stay on the counter for days till gone. The kids wont eat them if they are too cold.

    Thanks! lots of sugar compared to what I'm using. Is it super sweet?

    this is what I usually make - different since these are cookies
    Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie

    Skinnytaste.com



    Ingredients:



    • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed

    • 1 cup of uncooked quick oats

    • 1/4 cup chocolate chips



    Directions:



    Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a non-stick cookie sheet with cooking spray or use a Silpat.


    Combine the mashed bananas and oats in a bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips and place a tablespoon of each on the cookie sheet.

    Bake 15min

    My changes: I use 2c of oatmeal and 2 bananas and 1/2c of unsweetened applesauce. That way the banana taste isn’t as strong. I also cook on parchment paper and flip ½ way through so it cooks more quickly/evenly.

    Not the PP, but I stumbled on your comment. I've been making this baked oatmeal (and variations) for years as well. We love it. I used plain Greek yogurt and only 1/3 cup of sweetener. It makes a huge 9x13 pan so I figure it's not too much. And no, it's not too terribly sweet. Plus it has lots of protein. I've made your breakfast cookies too - they are yummy!
