This Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is a perfect healthy breakfast that’s filled with the flavors of Fall.
I thought I was in love when I discovered overnight oats, but then baked oatmeal entered the picture and totally won me over. Plus, there’s nothing better than making a breakfast that everyone loves!
Baked oatmeal is know as a comforting Amish traditional breakfast. Instead of a hot bowl of porridge that we are used to, this recipe is similar to a bread pudding. It’s easy to whip up and have ready to serve a crowd or to meal prep for several days of breakfast. Make these Spinach Quiche Muffins too for a wonderfully balanced start to the day.
This apple cinnamon baked oatmeal version was inspired by all the apples that are now available at our local orchards, aka know as one of my favorite times of year. Fall is definitely in the air!
I will definitely be making a blueberry and pecan version very soon. I’m thinking a peach and banana version with almonds would be fabulous too. You can use any of your favorite nuts and even experiment with other spices like nutmeg too. Whatever you add will certainly be a winner.
Thie recipe is vegan as well if you use nut milk or oat or rice milk as well as maple syrup and not honey.
Ingredients for Baked Oatmeal
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. Use a gluten-free variety if needed to ensure gluten-free
Cinnamon
Baking powder and salt
Milk of choice. I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk but regular milk, oat milk, rice milk can also
Unsweetened applesauce
Maple syrup or honey
Coconut oil is best in my opinion but canola or vegetable oil can be used as well.
Vanilla extract
Diced apple. I used a honeycrisp but any apple like a gala or macintosh could be just fine too.
Raisins are a great addition too.
