This apple cinnamon baked oatmeal is a hearty and satisfying breakfast with ingredients like chopped fresh apples, walnuts, coconut oil, and honey. It reminds me of apple cake!
In a medium mixing bowl bowl, stir together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large measuring cup, melt the butter or coconut oil in microwave. Whisk the honey, milk, eggs, and vanilla into the measuring cup with the coconut oil. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture in the bowl and stir to just combine. Add mashed banana, chopped apples, and nuts and stir.
Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour oat mixture into pan and bake for 30-33 minutes, or until the the baked oatmeal is set.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan and then slice and serve warm, or refrigerate in a storage container for up to 5 days, reheating in microwave before serving. You can also freezer individually wrapped leftovers and defrost in refrigerator before reheating (best option) or or reheat directly from freezer.
Notes
*I once substituted 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce for the mashed bananas. I prefer the taste/texture the bananas add, but applesauce is a good swap if you don't have ripe bananas!To double this recipe, bake at 350 degrees in a 13x9 inch baking dish for 40-45 minutes, until set. Cover with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
