A comforting baked oatmeal with chunky apple pieces and warm cinnamon, featuring a golden crust and tender center, perfect for cozy breakfast mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk (whole milk or dairy alternative)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.
  3. Peel, core, and chop the apples into roughly ½-inch pieces.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped apples evenly.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake on the center rack for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes to set.
  10. Serve warm, optionally topped with extra maple syrup, milk, or yogurt.

Notes

If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let the oatmeal cool for 10 minutes before slicing to prevent it from falling apart. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or coconut milk and butter with coconut oil. Overmixing can cause a rubbery texture; fold ingredients gently.
