Caramel Apple Baked Oatmeal

Caramel Apple Baked Oatmeal

This Caramel Apple Baked Oatmeal is a warm and hearty breakfast dish, combining the sweet and tart flavors of apples with the rich indulgence of caramel. It’s a cozy, nutritious meal perfect for fall mornings or anytime you need a comforting, delicious start to your day.

  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup milk  (regular, almond, or oat milk)
  • 2 cups chopped apples  (Granny Smith works best for that tangy bite)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 eggs

Optional Add-ins:

  • Raisins or dried cranberries for an extra pop of sweetness
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture
  • A sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra health boost

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish using butter or a non-stick spray to ensure the oatmeal doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, milk, chopped apples, caramel sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the oats are fully coated and the mixture is well-blended.
  3. Bake the Oatmeal: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and the apples are tender.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Let the baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes before serving. For added indulgence, drizzle more caramel sauce on top or add a dollop of whipped cream. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Old-Fashioned Oats: For the best texture, stick with old-fashioned oats rather than quick oats, which can turn mushy.
  • Choose the Right Apples: Granny Smith apples add a nice tartness that balances the sweetness of the caramel. Feel free to use Honeycrisp for a sweeter option.
  • Double the Recipe: This oatmeal stores well, so feel free to double the recipe and save half for later in the week. It makes for a great meal prep breakfast.
  • Customizable Toppings: You can top your baked oatmeal with yogurt, chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
