Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Recipe
Description
This Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal combines gluten-free rolled oats and shredded coconut with diced apples for a textured base enhanced by coconut sugar and cinnamon spices. The mix of eggs, almond milk, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract creates a rich custard that holds the oats together during baking. Once baked until golden and set, the oatmeal develops a soft but slightly firm consistency with tender apple pieces throughout. A simple coconut milk glaze made from canned coconut milk and powdered sugar finishes the dish with a creamy, sweet layer.
Ingredients
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal:
- 4 cups gluten-free rolled oats or muesli
- ¾ cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 2 large apple peeled, cored and chopped into ½-inch chunks, honey crisp
- ½ cup coconut sugar or cane sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 large egg lightly beaten
- 5 cups almond milk
- 4 Tbsp butter melted, unsalted
- 2 tsp lemon juice fresh
- 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
For coconut milk glaze:
- 1 cup canned coconut milk full-fat
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar or powdered maple sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a lightly oiled (or parchment-lined) 9 x 13 casserole or baking dish
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oats, shredded coconut, chopped apple, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder). Mix well to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry oat mixture and stir to combine.
- Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the mixture around so that the apples aren’t poking up too far and the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Bake in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and all of the liquid appears to be absorbed.
- Allow the baked oatmeal to cool 15 minutes before slicing large portions and serving with coconut milk glaze on top (instructions below)!
Prepare the Coconut Milk Glaze:
- Add coconut milk and sugar to a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and allow the coconut mixture to continue cooking, whisking frequently, until the coconut milk begins to thicken and turns a slightly darker shade. This process should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove coconut milk glaze from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The longer it cools, the thicker the mixture will become.
- Drizzle the glaze over the baked oatmeal and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use a blend of oats and muesli, such as 2 cups of each, for variation.
- Swap butter with non-dairy butter spread or avocado oil for a dairy-free option.
- For a standard glaze, mix 2 cups powdered sugar with 2 to 4 tablespoons water or milk.
