Best Fall Baked Oatmeal!

If you love oatmeal (or overnight oats!) and you love apples, then you’re going to absolutely adore this healthy breakfast recipe. These Baked Apple Oatmeal Cups are…

• fall
• festive
• chewy
• chai-ey
• filling
• ridiculously addicting

I love when we have a batch of these meal-prepped at Fit Foodie HQ because I eat them at all hours of the day. You may think this baked oatmeal with apples is strictly a breakfast only food, but they make for a great snack or dessert.

Here’s what you Need

Lucky for you these delicious baked oatmeal cups are ready in no time and with just a few ingredients. And, even if it’s not fall, apples are available year-round for your delight!

• rolled oats: we recommend using rolled oats, but you can sub quick cooking oats in any of our baked oatmeal recipes.
• homemade chai spice: Making your own chai spice is super simple. Check out the spices you need below!
• apple: green, red…you choose! Any kind of apple will work for this recipe.
• eggs: you need 2 large eggs for this recipe. If you’re looking for a baked oatmeal recipe sans eggs, check out our vegan baked oatmeal HERE.
• maple syrup: maple syrup gives these oatmeal cups a warm, fall flavor. Option to sub for another liquid sweetener.
• coconut oil: A little coconut oil goes a long way for this recipe! Make sure that you melt your coconut oil before measuring it to get an accurate measure.
• banana: Mashed banana helps sweeten this breakfast a little bit more. Option to sub applesauce, however, you may need to add a little bit more maple syrup!
• almond milk: for this recipe, any kind of milk or liquid will work.

Homemade Chai Spice

If you love chai spice, then you will love this recipe! We have a homemade chai spice mix on Fit Foodie Finds that we slightly modified for this particular recipe. If you have our homemade chai spice recipe in your cupboard, feel free to use around 2.5 teaspoons of that instead. Here’s what you need:

• ground nutmeg
• ground cardamom
• ground allspice
• ground cinnamon
