Remove the blender blade and fold in the oats and diced apple by hand.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top looks set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Allow the oatmeal to cool completely before slicing and serving.Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
Love a little crunch? Throw in some walnuts or pecans! They contain healthy fats and protein. Nuts are so good for you!
Spices: For extra fall flavor, I like to add a pinch of nutmeg, ground cloves, cardamom, or a little pumpkin pie spice. It's so good with apples!
For easier prep, leave the peels on your apples! They will still blend up perfectly. This will also add some extra fiber to the Baked Apple Oatmeal.
Add different fruit! Peaches would be delicious in this recipe. Like a healthy peach cobbler or cake for breakfast. Yum!
Serving ideas: I like to serve this Baked Apple Oatmeal recipe with a drizzle of maple syrup, sliced fresh apples, and a few toasted walnuts or pecans.
Make sure your oats and oat milk are certified gluten-free if you need this to be gluten-free.
