Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal with Fall Flavors
Bring on those cold fall mornings, with this warm baked oatmeal recipe, I’m totally ready for it!
It wasn’t until a few years ago that I first tried baked oatmeal, and now I’m totally hooked!
Just like stovetop oatmeal, it’s so versatile, but the texture is so different. You don’t get the soft and mushy consistency that comes with a boil.
So the people who don’t normally like the runny porridge-like oatmeal love this!
And I’m obsessed with this cinnamon, apple, and cranberry, walnut combo.
Plus, it’s sweetened with real maple syrup instead of sugar and uses coconut oil instead of butter, so you can feel good about eating this for breakfast! Or lunch, or dinner. That’s cool too.
