This apple cinnamon baked oatmeal is a healthy, delicious way to start your day. Oats are a nutritious whole grain to include at breakfast time. High in fiber and several essential nutrients, a serving of oatmeal includes 5 grams of protein. Steel cut oats, rolled (or old fashioned) oats, and quick-cooking oats are all healthy whole grain options with similar nutrient profiles. I typically use rolled oats for most of my oatmeal recipes, but steel cut oats are a nice alternative on occasion.
This baked oatmeal is an easy, make-ahead recipe. You can put it together in the evening, and all you have to do in the morning is pop it in the oven. The house will smell amazing while this is baking. If you have kids who are sluggish to get out of bed, this aroma just may do the trick.

I’m wondering if I could use Splenda in place of the maple syrup? Thanks!
I’m not sure about that. I haven’t made this with stevia. Please let me know if you try it.
Could almond milk be used in this instead of regular milk?
Yes, Bridget. This would taste great with almond milk.
Thanks for the quick response!
This was enjoyed by all! I added one tsp of baking powder. Served with maple syrup, it’s very tasty!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Stacy! Thanks for the feedback.
Great..will give it a go & report back 😉
Would leaving the egg out affect the outcome? My 2 yr old son has an egg/dairy allergy, but I know would love this for breakfast!
The egg binds this together a bit, but you could definitely leave it out. It will still be delicious. 🙂

Yes, you can make this with quick oats, Emily. Enjoy!
