Apple Baked Oatmeal
Description
This baked oatmeal blends oats with baking powder and cinnamon to create a fluffy texture, while applesauce and maple syrup contribute moisture and sweetness. Eggs and melted coconut oil bind the mixture, and vanilla extract adds depth to the flavor. Chopped apples folded in provide bursts of fruitiness throughout.
Baking the mixture at 375°F until golden at the edges yields a firm yet tender casserole that can be sliced into squares. The optional raisins introduce chewy sweetness. The dish is best served warm, suitable for a filling breakfast or snack.
This recipe can accommodate substitutions such as flax eggs for a vegan option and non-dairy milk. Leftovers store well in an airtight container for about five days. Certified gluten-free oats should be used for gluten-sensitive diets.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple , diced (core/seeds removed)
- ¼ cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Press a piece of parchment paper into the bottom of the pan if you'd like to guarantee easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Then add in the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Fold in the chopped apple and raisins, if using them. (Or add in any extras you like at this point, such as chopped walnuts or almonds.) Pour the oat mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake at 375ºF for 40 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden and the center feels firm to the touch.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing it into 9 squares. Serve warm with any toppings you love. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

- Use coconut oil and non-dairy milk for a vegan-friendly dish.
