Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal
Description
This baked oatmeal recipe combines oats with shredded carrots, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts, producing a complex texture with tender moisture and a subtle sweetness. The wet ingredients include applesauce, eggs, milk, and brown sugar that help bind the oats and enhance flavor. Vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder provide spice and leavening, giving the dish a pleasant rise and warmth.
By baking the mixture uncovered at 375°F for 45 minutes in a greased casserole dish, the oatmeal develops a firm yet moist texture suitable for slicing. It can be served warm or refrigerated and eaten cold or reheated, making it practical for meal prep.
The combination of fruit, nuts, and spices makes this baked oatmeal a comforting breakfast option with natural sweetness and varied textures from the carrots, pineapple, coconut, and walnuts.
