I needed a breakfast oatmeal dish that I could warm and serve quickly. I had several baked oatmeal recipes, but they all had eggs--I wanted to try one without eggs. I particularly like that this recipe can be made ahead and warmed when needed. Also, the apples mostly float to the top, making an attractive, delicious oatmeal dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup steel-cut oatmeal
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spices
  • 3 - apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups fat-free milk
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins

How To Make baked steel-cut oats and apples

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray an 8"x 8" pan with cooking spray.
  • Step 2
    Put oats and raisins in a large mixing bowl and pour boiling water over them.
  • Step 3
    Add apples, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, nuts, and salt -- stir until combined.
  • Step 4
    Add milk and stir again.
  • Step 5
    Pour into prepared dish and bake for 50-60 minutes or until browned and set. (Liquid is mostly incorporated/evaporated. Apples will be mostly on top.)
  • Step 6
    Spoon out or cut portions to serve warm. Or cool and refrigerate. The oatmeal warms nicely in the microwave. I like to add a little milk before I warm it. Or freeze individual servings for a quick morning breakfast later.
