Warm Apple Oat Bake (Printable Recipe)
# What You’ll Need:
01 -
2¼ cups rolled oats
02 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
03 -
¼ teaspoon salt
04 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon
05 -
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
06 -
1¼ cup milk, not cold
07 -
¼ cup maple syrup
08 -
½ cup unsweetened applesauce (or 2 eggs)
09 -
3 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or butter)
10 -
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 -
1 cup diced apples, divided
→ Sweet cinnamon mix
12 -
2 tablespoon white sugar
13 -
½ teaspoon cinnamon
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 350°F. Take your 8x8 baking dish and coat it with cooking spray or put down some parchment paper to keep everything from sticking.
02 -
Grab a bowl and mix your oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until everything looks well blended.
03 -
Add your milk, maple syrup, applesauce (or eggs if that's what you're using), melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix it all up good. Then toss in about 3/4 cup of your chopped apples, and save the other bit for later.
04 -
Dump your oat mix into the pan you fixed up. Scatter the leftover 1/4 cup of apple pieces on top. In a small bowl, stir the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle this all over your oat mixture.
05 -
Put your pan in the hot oven and let it bake for around 35-45 minutes. You'll know it's finished when you touch the middle and it feels firm, plus the top looks a bit golden. Let it sit in the pan to cool down a bit before you dig in.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Add a splash of maple syrup, some nut butter, or apple butter on top for extra yumminess.
02 -
This baked oatmeal keeps really well. Cool it all the way, cut into pieces, and store in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 6 days.
03 -
When you want leftovers, just warm a piece in the microwave or heat it up in your oven.
04 -
Want to save it longer? Freeze chunks in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter for a few hours.
