Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

October 13, 2023 • 0 comments

An easy nourishing breakfast. Our oats are pre-soaked - no need to soak the oats overnight. However, if you are using regular (non-soaked) oats, we recommend soaking the oats in the milk in the fridge for about 12 hours. This dish can be prepped the night before or made the morning of. Once baked, it can be stored in the fridge. Cut off a piece, reheat, and top with yogurt, milk, or maple syrup. This is a budget friendly meal, and can be made for $1.98 per serving (not including toppings).

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

(3 cups) Oats (organic, pre-soaked, and rolled)
(1-1/2 tsp) Baking powder
(2 tsp) Ground cinnamon
(1/4 tsp) Ground nutmeg
(3/4 tsp) Celtic Sea Salt, Fine
(1/2 cup (or more or less to taste)) Maple Syrup (Glass)
(2-1/2 cups) A2 COW Milk, Raw (Plastic)
(2 large) Chicken Eggs, Soy Free, Brown
(1 tsp) Vanilla, Homemade
(4 Tbsp (melted)) A2 COW Butter, Raw, Unsalted (Frozen, Plastic)
(2-3 (cored and diced)) Apples, Large, IPM

Directions

1 - Butter a 9x13 baking pan. Preheat the oven to 325F (don't preheat the oven if you're making this the night before and refrigerating overnight).

2 - In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.

3 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (except melted butter).

4 - Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture. Pour the melted butter on top. Stir to combine.

5 - Arrange the diced apples on the bottom of the baking pan and pour the oatmeal over top. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate overnight or bake right away.

6 - Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is golden and the mixture is set up and not very jiggly.

7 - Serve warm or at room temperature. If desired, pour some milk over top or add some nuts or berries.

"I cut this recipe in half for my husband and myself. I added more cinnamon (we love lots of cinnamon) and threw in a handful of walnuts, and it came out great! The texture is cake-like. This is now one of our favorite recipes - so healthy and delicious!" Janet Kissack.
