Description
A warm and cozy oatmeal bake filled with cinnamon and baked apples, perfect for feeding a family or making leftovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 3/4 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar for topping
- A pinch of cinnamon for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Toss the diced apples with a little cinnamon and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir until just combined. Let the oats soak for 5 minutes.
- Fold the diced apples and half the nuts (if using) into the oat mixture. Spoon into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining nuts and the brown sugar-cinnamon mix over the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use unsalted butter for the best flavor. You can leave the apple skins on for added texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
