Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in the 1/4 cup brown sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, flour, 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until coarse crumbs form.
  6. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare this entire dish ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before baking. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • This recipe works well for making breakfast cups; use a muffin tin instead of a baking dish and reduce the bake time to about 20-25 minutes.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk or a creamy oat milk substitute.
