A simple, healthy baked oatmeal recipe featuring warm apple and cinnamon flavors, topped with a crunchy streusel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for oats)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and flour. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Let it cool for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute blueberries or chopped pecans for the apples if you prefer a different flavor.
  • This recipe works well for meal prepping; store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For a sweeter topping, increase the streusel sugar to 1/3 cup.
