Cinnamon Apple Baked Oatmeal (Batch Recipe)
Servings: 9
This cinnamon apple baked oatmeal is a cozy, make-ahead breakfast with warm spices, juicy apples and toasted pecans. It’s egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan, with tender squares you can reheat all week.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw pecans chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, unrefined
- 2 cups almond milk
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
- 2 apples diced and divided
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Once the oven has preheated, toss the pecans onto a rimmed baking sheet and lightly toast for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, 1/2 of the diced apples, ground flaxseed and vanilla. Let sit 5 minutes.
- Add rolled oats to blender or food processor and pulse until chopped.
- In a large bowl, mix oat flour, blended rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
- Pour wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients and stir.
- Add roasted pecans to bottom of greased baking dish, spread out evenly across bottom.
- Pour oatmeal mixture evenly into greased baking dish (over top pecans) then top with remaining diced apples, coconut sugar, and additional cinnamon (optional).
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is nice and golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
Notes
- Cool the pan completely, then refrigerate the squares in an airtight container for 4 to 7 days. Reheat a square in the microwave until warm.
- Freeze the cooled squares in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Warm each square before serving.
- Swap pecans with walnuts or cashews.
- Cashew milk or oat milk both work. Cow milk works too, but then the pan is no longer dairy-free.
- Use certified gluten-free rolled oats and certified gluten-free oat flour.
- Any firm apple that holds its shape works well, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
