As we’ve been trying to think out of the box for breakfast, we’ve been experimenting with several different ways to make oatmeal. The Bananas & Cream Oatmeal was a hit, and so was this Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal. I like it because it’s oatmeal in a more cake-like form. While it tastes best fresh out of the oven, it can be made the night before and reheated for breakfast.
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients:
3 small apples, chopped into small pieces
3 c. old-fashioned oats (not quick cooking oats)
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. + 2 Tbl. applesauce (unsweetened)
1-1/2 c. whole milk
2 eggs
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. oil (I used lighter flavored olive oil.)
1/2 c. honey
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Combine apples, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
- Mix in applesauce, milk, eggs, vanilla, oil, and honey.
- Pour mixture into a greased 9×13 baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until firm and slightly browned.
Curious. Wonder what would happen if you just used skim milk?
I’m guessing it would work out just fine. 🙂
the kids would love this! thanks for the recipe…
Enjoy! It’s super easy and super yummy. 🙂
So, do you think you could put it together at night and then bake it in the morning like you do with egg casseroles?
That’s a good question. I’ve seen sites with recipes where you could, but I’ve never tried it with this recipe. Sounds like I need to. I love doing breakfast prep the night before!
