Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Have you had baked oatmeal yet? It’s quickly become one of my favorite breakfasts. With wonderful texture, lots of fruit, and a hint of sweetness, this is a whole grain breakfast that everyone will love. It’s also a cinch to throw together — so you can make it, bake it, and do all the other things you’ve got going on this busy time of year. This better-for-you version is naturally sweet and delicious with bananas, loads of apples, and a bit of honey.
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
2 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for the top
2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
2 cups milk
1 egg
1/4 cup (or more) honey
2 apples, cored and rough chopped
2 bananas
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8″ square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, salt, and spices. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, milk, honey, and egg.
Slice the bananas and arrange in a thin layer along the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add half of the oat mixture, and then half of the apples. Add the remaining oat mixture and press the remaining apples into the top. Pour in the milk mixture, sprinkle with cinnamon, and place in oven.
Bake for 35 – 45 minutes, or until the mixture is a light golden brown along the edges.

Wow, this looks completely divine! thanks for sharing!
How does the honey fit in? I don’t see it in the instructions. I made this yesterday and only realized halfway through that I didn’t know when to add the honey.
Hi Amy, Thanks for catching that! I’ve updated the recipe.
This looks great! Can you prepare it the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning?
Does anyone know the calorie count to this dish?
This is great, but made a few adaptations. Used 1 teaspoon cinnamon instead of half allspice and half cinnamon and it was great. Sliced the bananas lengthwise so they would fit in the dish nicely. Subbed half of the honey for brown sugar. For an extra tasty top, I put a little extra tablespoon of brown sugar over the top and broiled for the last 2 minutes. Also served it with maple syrup on the side for my guests. Great idea!
I want to try this for my Sunday School Class. but I would have to get up way to early to put it together and get it baked to take. My question is can I make it the night before and just reheat it before leaving for church?
Hi Marilyn, You have two options: the first is to assemble and mix the ingredients the night before and bake the morning of, or bake beforehand, refrigerate overnight, and reheat day of. Enjoy!
I have been making baked oatmeal for years, these recipes differ from mine. You use milk and i use apple juice. I will try milk.
Hi Niki, Apple juice sounds great too–I can’t wait to give that a try. Thanks for sharing!
