Apple Cinnamon Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal
Description
This Apple Cinnamon Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal recipe starts by soaking chia seeds in water to create a gel-like binder, then mixing them with steel-cut oats, maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, almond milk, chopped apple, and raisins. The mixture is baked in a greased dish until golden and fully set, resulting in a gently sweet, fragrant oatmeal bake with tender apple pieces spread throughout. The steel-cut oats contribute a chewy texture distinct from rolled oats.
The flavors combine warm spices with natural fruit sweetness, making it suitable for serving on its own or topped with nuts or yogurt. Baked oatmeal forms convenient slices or scoops that can be stored and reheated throughout the week for easy breakfasts.
Using steel-cut oats requires longer baking to soften fully, but rolled oats can be substituted by adjusting baking time. Maple syrup and raisins provide sweetness, but these can be reduced for a less sweet dish. The recipe yields a wholesome, textured baked oatmeal that highlights fresh apple and cinnamon aroma.
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds with 3 Tablespoons water
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 cups almond milk unsweetened
- 1 apple peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
- Combine chia seeds with water to make a chia egg and let sit for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl combine oats, maple syrup, chia egg, coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt. Stir well to combine. Add in almond milk, apple chunks and raisins. Stir everything together once more.
- Place oatmeal mixture into a greased baking dish (an 8x8 square baking dish or something similar). Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until oatmeal is golden brown and the center is cooked through. Remove from the oven, let cool and enjoy. Place any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Reheat later and enjoy.
Notes
- Swap steel cut oats for 2 cups rolled oats and reduce baking time to 35-40 minutes if preferred.
- For less sweetness, decrease maple syrup and raisins or omit raisins entirely.
