Hello!
Finally taking the leap and starting my own blog. Slightly scary and very exciting!
I love food, cooking, baking, having fun, and {mostly} healthy living. I also have a passion for nutrition and eating right. I look forward to sharing recipes, tips and tricks for good nutrition and healthy living, and my life adventures.
Without further ado – let’s get the party started with a recipe! This morning’s breakfast of baked oatmeal came together quickly and was the result of having no breakfast meats in the apartment (so sad, I know). This was one of the best versions of baked oatmeal I’ve had/made thus far. Super yummy – and hubby approved! Thanks for the recipe inspiration Eat.Drink.Love.
Apple Spice Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 2 C. old fashioned oats
- 1/3 C. dried fruit – I used half dried cranberries and raisins
- 1/3 C. chopped walnuts
- 2 Tbs. brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp. ground allspice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 Gala apple, cored and chopped into cubes
- 2 Tbs. melted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. honey
- 2 C. milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 3-qt (approx) baking dish with cooking spray.
- Mix the oats, dried fruit, walnuts, sugar, spices, salt, and apple together in a bowl.
- Mix the vanilla and honey with the melted butter. Pour in the butter mixture over the oats and stir until well-combined.
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish.
- Pour the milk over the oat mixture so that it’s evenly distributed.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the milk is mostly absorbed.
- Serve with additional milk and syrup if desired.
Enjoy!
