  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., walnuts, pecans, almonds) – about 1/4 cup

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or flax/chia egg for vegan option)
  • 1 1/4 cups milk or plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh apples, chopped (preferably tart variety like Granny Smith)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and any optional spices or nuts. Stir until well blended.
  3. Prepare the Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  4. Incorporate Apples: Fold chopped fresh apples into the dry ingredients, ensuring even distribution before adding the wet mixture.
  5. Combine and Transfer: Pour the wet ingredients over the oat and apple mixture, stirring to combine completely. Transfer the batter into your baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal cool slightly before serving to allow it to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness and that hold their shape when baked.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes before baking to allow oats to absorb moisture and flavors.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to your preference.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top before baking.
  • Check doneness at 35 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out the oatmeal.
