Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal! If you like baked oatmeal, you'll love this Fall-inspired version with soft baked apples and cinnamon. It's a healthy breakfast or brunch recipe!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, or non-dairy butter
- 2 large apples, cored and chopped*
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 small very ripe banana*
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds, flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped apples and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and saute, stirring often, until apples are very soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Place the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and banana in a blender and puree until smooth. Alternatively, mash the banana and whisk in the milk, syrup, vanilla.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining cinnamon, oats, flaxseed, pecans, salt and baking powder. Add in the wet mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the cooked apples, then pour into a lightly greased 9 x 12 baking dish.
- Place in the oven for 25 minutes, it should be slightly soft in the center but set.
- Remove and enjoy. We like this hot with cold milk (almond milk is my favorite) and topped with more softened apples and chopped pecans.
Notes
*The banana helps to bind the oats together, like an egg would. If you don't want banana, you can substitute on egg or omit.
*I usually double the apples and serve more apples on the baked oatmeal once it's time to eat. I highly recommend serving this hot, with cold milk on top and with softened cinnamon apples on top. So good this way!
