Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients for the oatmeal: rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping.
  7. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  10. Let the baked oatmeal cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This recipe works well for make ahead breakfast casserole preparation. Assemble the entire dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
  • Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
