Baked oatmeal is known 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 Egg 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 the 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
Oatmeal – I used old-fashioned oats for this recipe. Use a gluten-free variety if needed to ensure gluten-free
Cinnamon
Baking powder and salt
Milk – You can use any milk you’d like. I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk but regular milk, oat milk, rice milk, soy.
Unsweetened applesauce
Maple syrup – you can also use honey.
Oil – I love using coconut oil but canola or vegetable oil can be used as well.
Vanilla extract
Apple – I used a honeycrisp but any apple like a gala or macintosh could be just fine too.
Raisins are a great addition too.
