Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal
Healthy apple pie baked oatmeal!
A little make-ahead breakfast goes a long way in setting you up for a week of success, and this apple pie baked oatmeal is just the thing you need on a cold fall or winter morning. Filled with rolled oats, cinnamon, pecan, fresh apple, and a touch of maple syrup, this baked oatmeal is a naturally sweetened and high-fibre breakfast that will keep you fueled and full until lunch.
Apple season, it’s just the best, isn’t it? There are literally thousands of different ways you can use apples, from savoury to sweet dishes, breakfast to dinner, and snacks to desserts. Personally, I just love a good crunchy apple on its own as a simple snack, however, my second favourite way to eat them is in my morning oatmeal. The good news is, you don’t need to stand over a hot stove every morning, especially if you are short on time, when you can make a batch of baked oatmeal for the whole week. Whip up this simple apple pie baked oatmeal on a Sunday afternoon and you’ll have a delicious quick and easy breakfast ready to go every morning of the week!

I am following the Alumni Meal Plan so I made this yesterday. My husband and I had it for breakfast this morning. When I asked him for a rating he said, ‘I’m no food critic but you could make this again.’ I consider that a stamp of approval and a 5 rating. I loved the fact it is an easy make ahead and super tasty. Another winner from Stephanie!
PS – I did leave out the cloves as we are not fans of that particular spice.
★★★★★
The whole family loves this recipe. It’s easy to make and makes a great breakfast for most of the week. I add cardamom instead of cloves.
★★★★★
I really loved this recipe. Filling, not too sweet and the texture is spot on! It’s also delicious hot or cold. I especially loved it served with a scoop of vanilla yogurt!
So happy you enjoyed it, and love the addition of vanilla yogurt – great way to add protein too!
Can these be made as muffins?
Definitely! They won’t have the same texture as traditional muffins, more so mini baked oatmeals, but you can certainly make this recipe in a muffin tin.
How would you suggest reheating the whole dish? Looking to make ahead of time for big family breakfast
You can reheat it in the microwave for a few minutes or cover it and bake it in the oven at 200°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
