The kids will thank you for this healthy and filling oatmeal recipe. Our homemade version is better for you and more flavorful than sugar-laden instant packets or regular oatmeal made on the stovetop. Actually, it's more reminiscent of bread pudding with its thick consistency. One bite, and you'll be reminded of the warm oatmeal cookies your mama used to make. Unlike a cookie or oatmeal bar, however, this baked oatmeal recipe really hits the spot and is full of healthy ingredients, like apples, pecans, and raisins. This recipe is easily adaptable, so feel free to use seasonal fruit and whatever nuts you have in the pantry. Here, though, Honeycrisp apples and crunchy pecans are our delicious weapon of choice to execute this baked breakfast. Begin by arranging chopped apples in a lightly greased baking dish. The key is to make sure you use regular, traditional rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats so the oatmeal mixture cooks properly. Finish by sprinkling chopped pecans over the top. Bake until the oats are set and the top is golden and crumbly. The best thing about this oatmeal recipe is that it can be made in advance, and leftovers can be reheated or enjoyed cold the next day.

My first time making baked oatmealWas looking for something to use up some old Gala apples. This worked great!I skipped toasting the pecans that went with the oats. It was still delicious, satisfied the craving for something on the sweet side.I will try it with other add ins as suggested by another reviewer.Thank you for sharing.

Pecans are listed twice in ingredient listI subbed one for 1/2 c cranberries and it was perfect.  Next time I'll try blueberriesPerfect for week prep

This baked oatmeal is very tasty. I made it vegan by using oatmilk and egg replacer. Will definitely make this again.

Confused by the photo in the recipe.  It appears there are cranberries on the top of the dish but nothing in the recipe???
