Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar size. -
Prepare Oatmeal Base:
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir until everything is well mixed. -
Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a smooth paste. -
Layer the Oatmeal and Cinnamon Swirl:
Pour half of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the oatmeal. Then, add the remaining oatmeal mixture on top and swirl the rest of the cinnamon mixture into the top layer using a knife or spoon. -

While the oatmeal is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the baked oatmeal once it’s done. -
Serve:
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy it as-is or add some fresh fruit or extra nuts on top for added flavor and texture.
