Quick overview – making honey apple baked oatmeal:
- First, preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Measure applesauce, eggs, spices, vanilla & baking soda into a large mixing bowl and whisk until ingredients are well combined.

Handy tips:
- Whole grain oats will work best for this recipe. You can use quick oats but typically the dish will be a bit more dry if you go this route.
- You can also use this recipe to make baked oatmeal cups! Lightly spray a 12 count muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Portion batter into each cavity and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, until muffin tops are a nice golden brown color.
- Baked oatmeal saves and reheats really well. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or cut oatmeal into squares and freeze for up to 3 months! Microwave for 30-90 seconds to reheat and enjoy!
