Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup streusel topping ingredients (see notes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the streusel topping and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the oatmeal mixture.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- For the streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup rolled oats, and 3 tablespoons cold, cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
- This recipe is freezer friendly. Cool completely, slice into portions, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
- This makes a great make ahead breakfast. You can assemble the entire dish (without the streusel) the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. Add the streusel before baking in the morning.
