Comforting Baked Oatmeal 2 Ways

These nourishing baked oatmeal recipes are my go-to’s when it comes to a filling and comforting breakfast. (or dessert!) Packed with fiber, whole grains, fruit and a ton of texture, these recipes are easy and your home will smell amazing. 

  • Total Time: 1hr+
  • Yield: 9 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 Cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats

1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar (or white sugar or organic brown sugar)

2 1/4 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt (I use Real Salt Mineral Salt)

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1/4 Cup Melted Coconut Oil

1 Cup Lactaid Milk (Can use regular milk or a dairy free milk of your choice)

2 eggs

2 apples (washed and cored, diced into bite sized chunks)

1 tbs dairy free butter + some additional honey

1 lemon

1 3.5 oz package of sliced almonds

Instructions

1. Put on some music, grab your coffee and set all of your ingredients on the counter.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. (oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.)

3. In a separate bowl, melt the coconut oil and then add in the milk, eggs and maple syrup. Whisk together and pour over the oats. Stir until combined and let the oats soak while you prepare the apples.

4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place a saucepan on the stove at medium heat. Add in 1 tablespoon butter, and the zest + juice of a whole lemon and a tablespoon of maple syrup.

5. Wash and dice up 2 apples and put in the saucepan. Stir and cook until apples are soft. (About 7-10 minutes) and then mix in with the oats.

6. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with coconut oil and pour in the oat mixture. Pat down with a spatula so it’s even and pour on the almonds on top. I normally drizzle a little honey on top of the almonds to get them to stick but you don’t have to.

7. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let rest once baked until warm and enjoy!!

Notes

I also make a blueberry version of this recipe. Use the same base:

4 Cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats

1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar (or white sugar or organic brown sugar)

2 1/4 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt (I use Real Salt Mineral Salt)

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1/4 Cup Melted Coconut Oil

1 Cup Lactaid Milk (Can use regular milk or a dairy free milk of your choice)

2 eggs

And instead of adding in the apples, add in 3 cups of frozen blueberries. (2 cups into the batter and 1 cup placed on the top.) Zest some lemon on top and add the almonds too. (I sometimes use pumpkin seeds or pepitas in place of almonds.) Bake for the same amount of time. This version is the one I make every Sunday with the apple version being a treat!
