Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Everyone has been absolutely loving our new Peanut Butter, Banana, Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal, so we decided to make another amazing version!
You CANNOT go wrong with apple and cinnamon baked in an oatmeal, right? This flavor combination reminds me of the little oatmeal packets I used to have when I was a kid, but of course cleaned up and using whole ingredients that I feel good about baking with and eating. It’s so easy to put together, using only one bowl and once it’s mixed together you place it in the oven and forget it. It’s perfect for breakfast, an after school snack or to bring along to a potluck.

I’m all about baked oatmeal and it’s been far too long since I’ve made it! This apple-cinnamon edition looks so cozy and tasty!
Looks amazing! Wondering if replacing some of the oats with protein/collagen to up the protein content would be a possibility?
sounds wonderful!
we are doing keto, would you happen know what the macros are?
These aren’t keto!
This is a new favorite in our house! It totally reminds me of a clean version of my favorite oatmeal packets growing up. The apple cinnamon was always the first to disappear 🙂
To up the fiber, I left the skin on the apples and added 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds. Next time I’ll try adding some collagen protein to the mix to add some extra protein. I did sprinkle the top with extra cinnamon, the smell of it baking had my hubby coming into the kitchen asking if I was baking apple pie. SO GOOD! I told him it was Lexi’s recipe (the one that came up with the best gluten free birthday cake) and he said, Thanks, Lexi! Lol

what is the calorie breakdown for this? one serving = ? calories; 1/9 = 1 serving?
I would really like to try this baked oatmeal, as it look quite healthy. Thanks you for the recipe and keep sharing such disc.
I made this apple cinnamon oatmeal last night, I find it much drier than the banana chocolate chip and not too much flavor to it. Is there anything I can add to make it not so dry (maybe more applesauce?) and anything to add for more flavor?
This looks so yummy! Is there a way to substitute the eggs in this recipe for something else? We have an egg allergy in our family. Thanks for all you do!
Agreed with Kelly, it is pretty dry when eaten alone.

Hi Tara! Sorry you didn’t enjoy the final result. I actually ended up testing this recently and that wasn’t my experience with it at all, as the grated apples added quite a bit of moisture. Any chance your apples were on the small side?
Yes, I used smaller apples—but three of them. Guess that wasn’t enough!
Yes would love to know about egg replacer or sub as well…!
So delicious and easy! Tastes like apple pie!

Hi! I made this today and I loved it! I made a couple of changes to the recipe since I read that for some people the final product was a bit dry. I doubled the milk and the apple sauce. Also, I added ground flax and lowered the amount of chia seed. I used pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon. I really liked it!
