Creamy Apple Baked Oatmeal is a warm and wholesome breakfast dish made with rolled oats, diced apples, milk, and cozy spices. It bakes into a soft, custardy texture and tastes like apple pie in a healthy form. Ideal for meal prep or a comforting weekend brunch.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  2. 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  3. 2 eggs
  4. ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  5. 1 ½ cups fresh apples, peeled and diced
  6. ⅓ cup brown sugar or maple syrup
  7. 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  8. 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  9. ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  10. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  11. ¼ tsp salt
  12. Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, applesauce, brown sugar or maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Stir in oats, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Fold in diced apples and any optional mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is set and golden.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as is, or with milk, yogurt, or maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for best texture.
  • To make it vegan, use flax eggs and plant-based milk.
  • Refrigerate leftovers and reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick breakfast.
  • Wrap and freeze individual portions for longer storage.
