Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

My kids love oatmeal. Like, a lot. It’s almost an everyday occurance in our house and so I figured why not make a fancy shmancy version that doesn’t come out of a packet? WHY NOT? 

Why not make an oatmeal bake that is super autumn-inspired and I could prep ONCE a week and slice off squares for easy morning breakfasts? And so, I did. 

This is super customizable. You can use whatever milk you want, whether it’s whole milk or nut milk or oat milk. Or, sub in some pears or blueberries or whatever fruit you like! I like this as a breakfast, but you can honestly throw a scoop of ice cream on top of this and it’s a bomb autumn dessert.

So, let’s jump into this recipe and make this Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal! If you like recipes that you can prep ahead and heat up for easy grab and go breakfasts, try this southwestern sweet potato egg bake, these hash brown breakfast egg cups, or these broccoli and cheddar egg muffins!

In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, milk, eggs, agave, peanut butter, hemp hearts, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in the walnut and apple pieces, saving a handful of each to sprinkle on top. 

Transfer the oatmeal to a baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the reserved apple and walnut pieces. Bake for 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting into slices, or save for meal prepped breakfasts for the week! Before digging in, drizzle with additional peanut butter if you want! 

Enjoy!! xo
