I love apples, and I love cinnamon. Baked oatmeal is my favorite thing ever because it’s convenient, filling, and easy to meal prep. I wouldn’t bother to eat a relatively-wholesome breakfast if it wasn’t already prepared, in the fridge, ready to go first thing in the morning.

I don’t ever reheat this — I just grab it from the fridge and eat it cold. You, however, can reheat this if you want. I suspect that baked oatmeal reheats particularly well.

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

Calories: 324kcal

Ingredients

1½ cups unsweetened applesauce
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 egg
¼ cup liquid egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ tsp salt
2 cups milk of your choice
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 apples (I used gala apples)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce and brown sugar.
Whisk in the egg and egg whites.
Whisk in the vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and salt.
Stir in the milk
Stir in the oats
Peel, core and chop the apples. I used gala apples, but any type of sweet baking apple will do fine.
Stir the apples into the oatmeal mixture.
Pour the whole mixture into the prepared baking dish. Put it in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You'll know it's done when the edges are golden-brown and a knife or skewer inserted into the center of the oatmeal comes out clean.
