Ingredients for Cinnamon Apple Baked Oatmeal

Oatmeal

I like to use rolled oats for breakfast bake but any type of oatmeal will work. Steel cut, quick oats, rolled oats which ever type you like best. Depending on the type of oats you use will play a part in how long you baked the oats for.

Wheat Bran

Bran is a the outermost layer of wheat. This part of the wheat is typically left out of your flours. It has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor and is full of nutrients that your flour is now lacking. By adding it back in you are getting more nutrition such as magnesium, fiber, copper, iron, manganese and selenium.

Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds are extremely nutritious, in just 2 tablespoons of chia seeds are full of magnesium (23% DV), iron (12% DV), phosphorus (20% DV), zinc (12% DV), thiamine (15% DV), niacin (16% DV), calcium (14% DV), fiber, protein, omega 3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. They are also a great source for Essential Amino Acids. Chia seeds are beneficial to your heart, bones, and nervous system. They are also knows for the reducing appetite and food intake and can be effective for loosing and maintaining weight.

Baking Powder & Salt

Baking powder is a raising agent. Now you might think this is a strange ingredient to add to oatmeal and it might be but I have found it adds just enough of a fluff to our oatmeal making keep it from becoming dense and thick.

Apples

Apples are sweet and full of flavor, fiber, vitamin C and potassium. They are a great addition to our healthy, hearty breakfast.

Raisins

Raisins are probably the most classic and my favorite addition to my oatmeal. They are sweet and full of fiber, iron, calcium and antioxidants.

Honey/Sugar

Honey’s sweetness makes life so much better. Not only that but its full of antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-fungal. Honey helps build up your immune system and aids in fighting off colds and other viruses. Antioxidants protect cell’s from damage and in doing so protect you from cancer and heart disease.

You can also sweeten your oatmeal with brown sugar or maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener. Most any sweet thing will substitute.

Milk & Water

You can add milk (cows or plant based) or water for this recipe. Sometimes I only use water other times I do 50/50 milk and water. The best is when its mostly milk with a little water. I have yet to try all milk but I’m sure that would be juts as good.

How To Make Cinnamon Apple Baked Oatmeal

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl or straight in your 9×9 inch pan mix together all the dry ingredients.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Mix together the milk and honey, if you honey is more solid or crystalized like mine is most of the time, heat it on the stove top or in the microwave just till it mixes with the milk better. Then add the milk, honey and water to the oatmeal mixture.

Step 3: Bake

Cover the oatmeal with some foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Once its done baking, let cool for a couple minutes before scooping into a bowl. Serve with a little more milk and enjoy!
