Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Description
The Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal recipe blends rolled oats with baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, creating a spiced base. Eggs, milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla are whisked together and combined with the oat mixture along with diced apples, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries. The batter is poured into a greased casserole dish and baked until set, roughly 45 minutes at 325°F.
The result is a warm, spiced oatmeal bake with tender oats accented by sweet apples and tart cranberries, with the walnuts adding crunch. The gentle baking method yields a soft yet structured texture, suitable for slicing and serving warm. This baked oatmeal makes a filling breakfast or brunch option and can be enjoyed with milk or a splash of cream.
This dish is a practical choice for meal prepping a group breakfast. It can be made ahead and reheated easily. The inclusion of coconut oil and maple syrup provides a balanced flavor and moisture, keeping the baked oatmeal from being dry. The recipe originates from Cooking Classy and requires minimal active prep time.
