Amish-Style Apple and Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients:
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups milk (you can use whole, almond, or oat milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder. Stir to combine.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
4. Add Apples and Optional Ingredients:
- Gently fold in the chopped apples, raisins (if using), and nuts (if using).
5. Bake the Oatmeal:
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
6. Serve:
- Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm, topped with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
Tips:
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the oatmeal mixture the night before, refrigerate it, and then bake it in the morning.
- Toppings: Top with extra sliced apples, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a handful of granola for extra texture.
- Substitute: Use other fruits like pears or berries instead of apples for a different flavor.
This Amish-Style Apple and Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is a warm, comforting, and wholesome breakfast that’s perfect for fall mornings or whenever you’re craving something sweet and filling! Enjoy! 🍏🍂
