Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (OR brown sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 cups chopped apple
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly. Then add the milk, applesauce, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to break up the eggs and combine all ingredients uniformly. Finally, fold in the chopped apples and pecans gently to distribute them throughout the mixture.
  2. Add to a casserole dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Spread the oat mixture evenly in the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
  3. Chill the dish: Cover the casserole dish securely with plastic wrap or a clean towel to protect the surface. Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow it to chill overnight. This helps the oats absorb the liquid and develop flavor and texture.
  4. Bake the dish: The following morning, remove the chilled dish from the refrigerator. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake until the oatmeal is set and the top is golden brown, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Once baked, remove the dish and let it rest on a cooling rack for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This baked oatmeal is an easy, make-ahead breakfast option that’s perfect for busy mornings during cooler seasons.
  • You can substitute brown sugar for maple syrup if you prefer a different sweetener.
  • Feel free to swap pecans for walnuts or omit nuts if you have allergies.
  • Chilling overnight is essential for the best texture and flavor development.
