Ingredients for Baked Applesauce Oatmeal

  • Butter
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Maple Syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • Oatmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

How to Make Baked Applesauce Oatmeal

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using raisins, plump them by soaking in warm water for 10 minutes before stirring them into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with extra brown sugar, milk, or your favorite toppings (nuts, seeds, etc.) and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
