A warm and comforting baked oatmeal featuring tender apples and cinnamon, perfect for easy meal prep and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk (whole, 2%, or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; stir well.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in chopped apples and nuts if using, distributing evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent a gummy texture. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Let cool before slicing for cleaner cuts. Substitute nuts or fruits as desired. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk, coconut yogurt, and coconut oil.
