Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

My friend Stacie Hassing is one of @therealfooddietitians 😊 !

I saw the recipe the other day for the baked apple cinnamon oatmeal and said oh I need this for an easy breakfast!

⠀⠀INGREDIENTS

• 2 ¾ cups old fashioned rolled oats (285 g)

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional) (10 g)

• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (70 g)

• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (115g)

• 2 whole eggs (110 g)

• 1 ¼ cups milk of choice (300 g)

• ¼ cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil (60 g)

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1 cup shredded apple or finely diced, more for topping (115 g)

• ⅓ cup chopped walnuts, toasted (35 g)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This... is a good one. When having this I also have 1 scoop of a whey protein powder with water on the side to make it a complete meal for me and my macros. Currently I am using Wholefoods 365 vanilla whey.

To Make The Baked Oatmeal:

1. Preheat the oven to 375℉. Spray a 9×9 or 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a bowl, combine the oats, chia seed, baking powder, salt, syrup, applesauce, eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla. Stir until combined.

3. Fold in the apples and toasted walnuts (see below for toasting instructions).

4. Transfer batter to the prepared dish. Top with a few toasted walnuts.

5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set.

6. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

This oatmeal is completely helping my fall food fix and keeping me on my plan :)
