Baklava is awesome and I thought the basic baklava ingredients (walnuts, cinnamon and honey) would translate well to a baked oatmeal. IMO, this is one of the best baked oatmeals I’ve invented so far!

Baked oatmeal is my favorite thing ever because it’s convenient, filling, and easy to meal prep. I wouldn’t bother eating a healthy breakfast if I didn’t have it prepared in the fridge, ready to go.

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.

Ingredients

1½ cup unsweetened applesauce
¾ cup honey
1 egg
¼ cup liquid egg white
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups milk of your choice
2½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
Whisk together the applesauce and ½ cup of the honey (save ¼ cup of honey for topping)
Whisk in the egg and egg whites
Whisk in the baking powder, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract
Stir in the milk
Stir in the oats
Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and top with another ½ cup chopped walnuts.
Bake for about 45 minutes. It's done when the oatmeal starts to turn golden brown at the edges. A skewer or knife inserted into the center of the oatmeal should come out clean.
When the oatmeal is still hot out of the oven, drizzle with the remaining ¼ cup of honey.
