This is a delicious variation on baked oatmeal, this Amish-style (which I never knew about before I found this recipe on GOOGLE) apple and cinnamon baked oatmeal is so easy and delicious (and can be made the night before.) The nice thing about this recipe for baked oatmeal is is can also be made the morning you need it making it a perfect spur of the moment choice.
It comes together quickly using ingredients that you'll likely have on hand.
We served it with some plain greek yoghurt sweetened with maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon.
YUM
Apple and Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar (more to taste if you like things a bit sweeter)
2 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2-3 large tart, sweet apples (like Honey Crisp or Gala), peeled, cored and diced
Lightly grease a 8X12-inch or 9X13-inch baking pan or 9X9-inch (for super thick oatmeal) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (don't preheat the oven if making ahead of time and refrigerating overnight).
In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and brown sugar.
In a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla.
Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and add the melted butter. Stir or whisk to combine.
Arrange the diced apples evenly over the bottom of the baking dish and pour the oatmeal mixture over the top. You can cover and refrigerate overnight at this point or bake right away (uncover before baking the next morning).
Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden and the mixture is setup and not super jiggly.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a little milk poured over the top, if you want.
