These few months I’ve been switching my breakfast options between soy yogurt, smoothie bowls, and overnight oats. Yet these few days that I found the days start to get cold, so I want something warm and new, and that’s the moment when I think of baked oatmeals. The thought is followed by what to add to it. The answer is Apples. So here we go.

Some traditional baked oatmeals use eggs and butter, which will definitely not near my hands anymore. This time we’re going to make a Vegan Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal, which is also gluten-free and sweetened with maple syrup.

I’ve actually made baked oatmeals a few times before, but the results were too mushy for my liking. So I’ve tested a few times and adjust the ratio. This time we’re going to make a delicious, warming, and not-so-mushy baked oatmeal, which still has the biting texture from the rolled oats and sweet, nutty flavors from the apples, raisins, and walnuts.

Before I get into it, I want to emphasize the oats used in this recipe. We’re going to use rolled oats, aka old-fashion oats. If you use instant oats, which is more common in Taiwan, it may get too mushy. But if you prefer that way, I’m no one to hold to back from trying, but just be aware of that. And if you still not sure the differences, you can read this post Rolled Oats VS. Instant Oats.

And let’s talk about apples. Why I choose apples? Because it’s one of the rare fruits that I adore after cooked or baked. If you’ve read my Vegan Apple Pie or Vegan Apple Crisp, you might already know my love for these little red cutties.

I used to order Apple pies for dessert at restaurants before I became a vegan, so it’s really true love. The flavor and aroma of baked apples also make me feel cozy and autumn vibes.

Baked oatmeals are usually made in “big-dishes.” If you, like me, usually make food only for myself, don’t worry. Baked oatmeal is a great idea for make-ahead / meal prep.

Store the leftover in the fridge or freezer and reheat it in the oven in the morning or whenever you like. If you store it in the freezer, it’s better to move it to the fridge the night before so it can be reheated sooner.

Because the color of baked apples and walnuts are similar, I also add some dried cranberries, raisins, and almond flakes to bring up more texture and flavor.

Even though I was full and it’s already been late in the afternoon after I finished baking it, I still couldn’t help but took some bite because it really smelled so good.

It’s not so mushy and actually I can scoop out a big chunk onto the plate to find some apple chunks and raisins inside.

After baked, the oats carry a toasty aroma that I love so much. With apples and walnuts, this baked oatmeal really makes me feel warm, cozy, and satisfied.

Even though there’s cinnamon in this oatmeal recipe, the cinnamon flavor is not so prominent. If you love cinnamon as I do, you might want to add more cinnamon before serving. Or, if you’re not a fan of cinnamon, you can skip it, but I still recommend adding a little bit or you can try to use Ceylon cinnamon, which is milder than common Vietnamese cinnamon.

I like to bake my oatmeal like this, not so mushy and still a bit chunky. So even when I feel like some liquidity texture of baked oatmeal, I still can add a dash of almond milk to enjoy it rather than make a big batch of mushy oatmeal at once.

When I want some cozy and warm breakfast/snack, I think of this Apple Raisin Baked Oatmeal. And since it’s freezer-friendly and totally great for meal prep, you can make it ahead and enjoy it whenever you like.

If you love baked apples as I do, check out my Vegan Apple Pie, Vegan Apple Crisp, and Open-face Apple Pie that I made for Christmas. OK, shall we?

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag @Barrelleaf + #barrelleaf on Instagram. I always love to see them and to know how it goes.
