Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients for the oatmeal base: rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped apples and pecans or walnuts, if using.
  6. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon for the topping. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  10. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This recipe works well for meal planning and reheats nicely.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, consider using maple syrup instead of brown sugar in the base, though the texture will change slightly.
  • If you are looking for quick options like meal delivery companies, remember that homemade baked oatmeal is a great alternative for consistent, wholesome eating.
  • This dish reheats well in the microwave or oven for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
  • You can substitute the apples with 1 1/2 cups of frozen blueberries for a different flavor profile.
