Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

Here's a breakfast recipe inspired by one of my Friday Favorite finds!!

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal.

Yep.

It's as delicious as it sounds.

And healthy too.

Really.

No artificial sugars or anything.

Just good, old fashioned oats, apples and cinnamon.

And, since I make our plain baked oatmeal with applesauce rather than oil/butter, I thought I'd do the same here!  

As though this recipe needs more merits... it's a make-ahead recipe too!  Throw it all together the night before, and bake it in the morning.

{Print Recipe}

3 C Old Fashioned Oats
1/2 C honey
1 T cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 C milk
1 egg
1/2 C applesauce
2 tsp. vanilla
2 apples, chopped

Start by mixing together the dry ingredients.

Then, add in the wet ones.

Lastly, fold in the apples {I used up some frozen apples for this}.

Spread into a 9x13 glass baking dish {Ignore my photo and go with the writing -- use a 9x13, not a 9x9 glass baking dish!}.

Cover, and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, uncover the baking dish.  Then, place the cold dish into the oven.  After the dish is in the oven, turn the oven on to 350 and bake for 40ish minutes, until the baked oatmeal is no longer runny and it is set and lightly browned.
