Apple Baked Oatmeal (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1¼ cup milk, room temp
02 -
2¼ cups rolled oats
03 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon spice
04 -
½ cup plain applesauce (or swap for 2 eggs)
05 -
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
06 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
07 -
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or butter)
08 -
1/4 cup real maple syrup
09 -
¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
10 -
1 cup chopped apples, split in half
11 -
¼ teaspoon table salt
→ Topping with Cinnamon Sugar
12 -
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
13 -
2 tablespoons white sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F. Grab an 8x8-inch pan and either cover it with parchment paper or coat it with some spray to keep things from sticking.
02 -
Mix the oats, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a big bowl, stirring until everything blends together well.
03 -
Add milk, applesauce (or eggs), melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Stir it up until smooth. Then add about 3/4 cup of those apple pieces, saving the rest for later.
04 -
Pour the batter into your pan. Top with the leftover apple chunks. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small dish, then scatter it all on top.
05 -
Put the pan into the oven, baking for 35-45 minutes. It's done when the middle is firm and the top's lightly golden. Let it sit for a bit before digging in.
# Notes:
01 -
Make it extra tasty by adding a dollop of nut butter, a drizzle of syrup, or some apple butter.
02 -
It keeps well! Once cooled, cut into pieces and put in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 6 days.
03 -
Reheat a piece by microwaving it or warming it back up in the oven.
04 -
Freeze portions for up to 2 months. Let them thaw overnight in the fridge or at room temp before eating.
