Oatmeal Ingredients

  • Oats– use old fashioned oats and not quick oats. If you need the recipe to be gluten-free, make sure you use gluten-free oats.
  • Cinnamon– cinnamon is SO good in oatmeal.
  • Baking powder– to give the oats a lift in the oven.
  • Salt
  • Milk– I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use any milk.
  • Applesauce– use unsweetened applesauce.
  • Pure maple syrup– for naturally sweetening the oatmeal. You can use honey, coconut sugar, or brown sugar.
  • Butter or coconut oil– use whatever you prefer, both work well.
  • Eggs– use large eggs.
  • Vanilla extract– adds great flavor.
  • Apple– I don’t peel the apple, but you can. I love Honeycrisp apple in this recipe, but you can use your favorite apple.

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk, applesauce, maple syrup, butter or oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the milk mixture to oat mixture; stir well. Stir in the diced apples. Pour the oatmeal mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until oatmeal is set and golden brown.

Toppings

You can jazz up your bowl of oatmeal with a variety of toppings. Here are some ideas!

  • Whipped cream
  • Yogurt
  • Nut butter
  • Drizzle of maple syrup or honey
  • A sprinkle of brown sugar
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • Splash of milk
  • Dried cranberries or raisins
  • Apple slices

How to Store

Baked oatmeal is a great recipe for meal prepping. It will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about a week. Make a big batch on Sunday so you can enjoy a healthy and delicious breakfast all week long.

Reheat in the microwave or I even like the oats cold. I know that sounds weird, but try it:)

  1. Hi 🙂

    This is going to sound silly but this recipe says it serves 6 but you have 9 pieces cut in the pan…..is the calorie count for a piece and a half perhaps? Im doing the dreaded counting of calories and just need to know what size the serving is.

    Thanks!

    1. We cut it into 9 for photos, but when we eat it, we usually have a heartier portion, but you can adjust the portion size to your liking. The nutritional info is an estimate.

  2. 3 stars
    Doubling the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan was incorrect. 🙁 It is liquidy. I think the recipe should have added .5 to the ingredients.

  3. 5 stars
    My granddaughter (8years) and I made the apple cinnamon baked oatmeal. It was delicious! Recipe works great as written. We used unsweetened canned coconut milk as our milk of choice and olive oil as our oil of choice when mixing recipe together.
