Ingredients

2 1/4 cups Rolled Oats
2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Fine Grain Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
2 cups Unsweetened ALmond Milk
1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1/4 cup Pure Maple SYrup
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 Apples, peeled & diced
1 Ripe Pear, Peeled & Diced
1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375'F. Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, salt, and nutmeg. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla and stir well to combine.
Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir until combined. The mixture will be soupy. Stir in the apples and pear.
Spoon the oatmeal into the casserole dish and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the walnuts on top and gently press them down into the oatmeal with your hands.
Bake, uncovered, for 35-45 minutes until the oatmeal is bubbly and the apples are fork tender.
Cool the oatmeal for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with a splash of almond milk and drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Cool the oatmeal completely before wrapping it up and placing it in an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for 5 to 6 days or in the freezer for 2 to 3 weeks.

APPLE OATMEAL CASSEROLE

This is so easy to put together. Great for a Sunday morning family breakfast. But since we're empty-nesters, I bake it on Sunday and we eat it all week for breakfast. Just scoop out a serving and heat it in the microwave with a little extra milk!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2-3 medium apples, chopped (2 cups)
1/2 c raisins
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
1/3 c packed brown sugar
2 2/3 c old-fashioned oats
4 c mlk
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add apples, raisins, sugar, cinnamon and salt; saute until apples are slightly soft. In 2-quart casserole, combine oats and milk. Stir in apple mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until most of the milk is absorbed. If using a flat casserole, it only takes about 30 minutes. If using a round casserole, bake about 40 minutes.
2. Serve with additional milk if desired. Also good with some chopped walnuts sprinkled on top.

Tips:

Use ripe apples: Softer, sweeter apples, like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji, will give the casserole the best flavor and texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will develop the gluten in the oats, making the casserole tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake until the center is set: The casserole is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it's still gooey, bake for a few more minutes.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape when you cut it.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Try maple syrup, brown sugar, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

This apple oatmeal casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this casserole is a surefire hit.
