Notes
Use rolled oats, not quick oats for this recipe. Rolled oats will hold their texture better.
Let the mixture sit on the counter to thicken for 5-10 minutes. Don’t skip this step! This will allow the oats to start absorbing the liquid before baking.
Let the baked oatmeal cook before adding the cinnamon swirl, otherwise it will just melt into the oats.
