Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bake
This Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bake is the perfect way to start your day! It's a delicious and wholesome breakfast filled with tender apples and warm spices, ideal for meal prep.
Ingredients
Oatmeal Bake
- 2 cups plant milk
- 2 cups quick oats (if using rolled oats see notes the bake time is longer)
- 2 cups cubed apples (about 2 large apples cut into cubes)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional, but delicious!)
- ⅓ cup all natural peanut butter
- 3 tbsp ground flax
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2-3 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional)
Apple Topping
- 2 large apples cut into cubes
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Add quick oats, flax seeds, maple syrup, natural peanut butter, cinnamon, baking powder, plant milk, protein powder if adding, and cubed apples into a 6x9 baking dish. Stir well to combine.
- While the oatmeal is baking, prepare the stewed apples.
Cooked Apples Topping
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, add the chopped apples, water, cinnamon and maple syrup.
- Cover, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 10-15 mins. Stir occasionally. I like to remove the lid halfway and cook until all the liquid is gone.
Baking
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through. Top with the cooked apples and a drizzle of maple syrup, and enjoy!

Notes
The first time I made this I used quick oats and it baked within about 35 minutes. The next time I used rolled oats and it was still quite liquidy around 30 minutes.
I recommend giving it a quick stir and continue baking until the liquid is gone and the top is golden brown. This took almost 50 minutes but you'll want to just keep an eye on it and see how it's baking.
I also noticed the quick oats version stayed together better in more of a square formation. The flavor was equally as delicious with the rolled oats or the quick oats!
