For serving, I like to double the softened apples and then serve them over the baked oatmeal for even more apple flavor. </p><p>I highly recommend serving it this way: warm baked apple cinnamon oatmeal topped with cold milk (I prefer almond milk, but any works) and more softened apples. It’s so good and the milk helps to soften the baked oatmeal for the most perfect texture. </p><p>The banana is used to bind the oatmeal together and keeps this baked oatmeal vegan. If you don’t want to use it, you can sub in an egg instead. Or, omit the banana. </p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3CshHb_0vnq6jjF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3CshHb_0vnq6jjF00" width="2048" height="1364" ></figure><h2>Ingredient Notes </h2><ul><li><b>Rolled Oats:</b> You want rolled oats for this, not steel cut. Steel cuts won’t work the same way and won’t become soft enough. </li><li><b>Apples:</b> I use two large apples, but you want enough for a scant 3 cups of chopped apples. </li><li>The ground flaxseed helps to bind the oatmeal and also adds in a bonus of omega-3 fatty acids. </li><li><b>Maple Syrup:</b> I don’t recommend trying to reduce the maple syrup. In my regular baked oatmeal recipe, I use maple syrup and brown sugar, but for this one, I wanted to just use maple syrup. But you do need some sweetener for the best flavor.</li><li><b>Pecans:</b> Toasted, chopped pecans add a nice flavor but are optional. You can also use chopped walnuts. </li></ul><h2>How to Make This Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal </h2><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1EM6xQ_0vnq6jjF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1EM6xQ_0vnq6jjF00" width="1200" height="800" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3TApPz_0vnq6jjF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3TApPz_0vnq6jjF00" width="1200" height="800" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0cgzPd_0vnq6jjF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0cgzPd_0vnq6jjF00" width="1200" height="800" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2ubUgF_0vnq6jjF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2ubUgF_0vnq6jjF00" width="1200" height="800" ></figure><h2>How to Serve</h2><p>I highly recommend serving this baked apple oatmeal warm with cold milk and extra chopped softened apples on top. </p><p>It will firm as it cools, so you can also slice into squares and serve it cold. </p><h2>Meal Prep Tips</h2><p>To prep this one ahead of time, you can combine prep it ahead of time and keep in the fridge overnight. </p><p>You can also blend the wet, mix the dry and then combine and bake right before serving. </p><p>My family usually doesn’t eat all of this in one sitting, so you can store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days. It tastes best when reheated with a splash of milk to add in moisture. </p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2Wbx5x_0vnq6jjF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2Wbx5x_0vnq6jjF00" width="2048" height="1365" ></figure><h2>More Oatmeal Recipes</h2><p><i>If you try this baked apple cinnamon oatmeal, make sure to come back to leave a comment and a rating.

Add the <b>chopped apples</b> and 1/2 teaspoon <b>cinnamon</b> and saute, stirring often, until apples are very soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. </li><li>Place the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and banana in a blender and puree until smooth.

Add in the wet mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the cooked apples, then pour into a lightly greased 9 x 12 baking dish. </li><li>Place in the oven for 25 minutes, it should be slightly soft in the center but set. </li><li>Remove and enjoy. <b><i>We like this hot with cold milk (almond milk is my favorite) and topped with more softened apples and chopped pecans.</i></b> </li></ol><h2>Notes</h2><p>*The banana helps to bind the oats together, like an egg would. If you don’t want banana, you can substitute on egg or omit. </p><p>*I usually double the apples and serve more apples on the baked oatmeal once it’s time to eat. I highly recommend serving this hot, with cold milk on top and with softened cinnamon apples on top. So good this way! </p></div></body>
