A warm and comforting baked oatmeal recipe featuring fresh apples and cinnamon, perfect for cold mornings. This easy, wholesome breakfast is quick to prepare and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (135 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
  • ½ cup (60 g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs until slightly frothy. Add milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture and stir gently until moistened with no dry spots.
  5. Fold in the peeled and diced apples and, if using, the chopped nuts.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is firm (a toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean).
  8. Let the baked oatmeal cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use firm apples that hold their shape to avoid mushy chunks. Pat apples dry if very juicy to prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. For vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
