Description

This Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal is a comforting and nutritious breakfast dish that combines the warming spices of cinnamon and nutmeg with tender baked apples and crunchy pecans. Perfectly sweetened with pure maple syrup and soaked oats, it is a wholesome and delicious way to start your day.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 medium apples, diced small
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or other nut)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8 inch casserole dish. If using a different sized dish, adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir these together to ensure the spices and leavening are evenly distributed.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is combined evenly, making sure not to overmix.
  5. Add apples and pecans: Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the oatmeal mixture.
  6. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the combined mixture into the greased casserole dish and press it down gently to ensure the oats are fully soaked. Optionally sprinkle additional pecans and apple pieces on top for extra texture and presentation.
  7. Bake: Place the dish uncovered into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top turns a light golden brown color.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  9. Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. Reheat before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice including dairy for a different flavor or dietary preference.
  • For a nut-free version, omit pecans or replace with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste preference.
  • Can be made ahead of time and reheated for convenient breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Add a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of nut butter on top for extra creaminess and protein.
