Description

A hearty and wholesome Oatmeal Apple Breakfast Bake made with rolled oats, apples, pecans, and cinnamon. Perfect for meal prep and busy mornings, this cozy bake is lightly sweetened and can be enjoyed warm all week long.


Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 large apples, peeled and diced

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Peel and dice apples into small, even pieces.
  4. Fold diced apples, chopped pecans, and dried fruit (if using) into the oat mixture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with extra honey or maple syrup.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds or in the oven for a crispier top.
  • Freezes well for up to 3 months—wrap portions individually for easy reheating.
  • Customize with different fruits, nuts, or spices.
  • Best apples for baking: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
