Equipment
Ingredients
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal:
- 4 cups rolled oats or old fashioned oats or muesli*
- 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut optional
- 2 large honey crisp apples peeled, cored and chopped into ½-inch chunks
- ½ cup coconut sugar or cane sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs lightly beaten
- 5 cups milk of choice I use oat milk**
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter melted***
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice optional
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
For coconut milk glaze:
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk ****
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar or powdered maple sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oats, shredded coconut, chopped apple, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder). Mix well to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry oat mixture and stir to combine.
- Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the mixture around so that the apples aren’t poking up too far and the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Bake in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and all of the liquid appears to be absorbed. Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the baked oatmeal. It is ready if it reads 190 degrees F or higher.
- Allow the baked oatmeal to cool 15 minutes before slicing large portions and serving with coconut milk glaze on top (instructions below)!
Prepare the Coconut Milk Glaze:
- Add coconut milk and sugar to a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and allow the coconut mixture to continue cooking, whisking frequently, until the coconut milk begins to thicken and turns a slightly darker shade. This process should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove coconut milk glaze from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The longer it cools, the thicker the mixture will become.
- Drizzle the glaze over the baked oatmeal and enjoy!
Notes
*If you'd like, use a combination of oats and muesli. 2 cups of oats and 2 cups of muesli is a good ratio :)
**For more apple flavor, you can substitute one cup of milk for 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce (in other words, use 4 cups milk, 1 cup applesauce).
***You can substitute the butter for non-dairy butter spread if you don't do dairy or use avocado oil instead.
****If you'd like, you can make a standard glaze using 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
