I’ve been trying to hold out on the fall recipes for as long as I can but I think it’s time, friends. Apples are coming back in season so how about we start with those?

If you’ve made my Peach Baked Oatmeal then you might recognize that this recipe is based off of that one. With a short and simple ingredient list, it takes all of 10 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook. Trust me, as soon as you smell the apples and cinnamon wafting through your house, you’ll instantly be in the mood for all things fall!

Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats- I usually use rolled oats because that’s what I tend to have on hand. The texture ends up slightly chewy. If you prefer something less chewy, you can use quick cooking oats instead.
  • Non-Dairy Milk- My favorite variety to use is oat milk because of it’s protein content and creamy texture, however, any kind of milk will work.
  • Eggs- I’ve made this vegan and with eggs and both versions are great!
  • Pure Maple Syrup- Maple syrup is perfect as a natural sweetener in this recipe but you could also use honey if you like. If you find the end result isn’t sweet enough for you, feel free to drizzle some more on top when you’re serving.
  • Melted Vegan Butter or Coconut Oil- I prefer to use vegan butter (specifically Miyokos) because it tastes so darn good. That said, coconut oil is also a good option. If you want to leave out the oil you can try substituting almond butter or applesauce.
  • Vanilla Extract- I just love vanilla and use it in almost everything I bake. You can leave it out but you probably shouldn’t.
  • Ground Cinnamon- Obviously we need a little cinnamon for our apples. I find 1 teaspoon to be just the right amount but you could add more or less depending on your preferences.
  • Salt- Just a touch of salt helps balance out the sugar. However, if you’re using a very salty butter you may not need to add any.
  • Diced Apple- I love using honeycrisp apples but any variety will work here. Have fun experimenting to see which kind you like best!

Now this part is totally optional but I love to drizzle mine with melted almond butter. It just pairs so well with the apples and the cinnamon.
