July 17, 2016 By Yummiest Food 68 Comments

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal – moist, delicious, healthy, gluten free breakfast, perfect way to start your day! Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is the best healthy snack you’ve ever tried!

Oats, we all know that they are healthy and that we need to eat them often, but many of us don’t like them. I think that oats could be very tasty if we prepare them with our favorite fruits. My choice are apples in combination with cinnamon. For a short time you can get very healthy and delicious breakfast. What can we prepare better for breakfast then Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal?

If you take care of your weight, I am sure that you choose pastry for breakfast to get a lot of energy, but I am pretty sure that this Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal can give you more energy than pastry. I prepare these Oats very often in my kitchen and my children love them very much. Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is the best choice to start your day. You can prepare this breakfast on many different ways and every time they are delicious. Oats are gluten free, have lots of vitamins, antioxidants and these are facts which are very important for our children to get a good immunity.

Apple Cinnamon Muffins are my recipe and every time I made it, I add something new. This is the perfect, easy and delicious breakfast. You need only a few ingredients for example rolled oats, bananas, egg, milk, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and apple. Many of ingredients you have in your kitchen. You need to preheat the oven to 375F, line standard muffin pan with 12 liners and set aside. In a medium bowl you need to mash banana with a fork. Then, you need to beat in the egg and add rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, milk and salt. Stir until well combined and add the diced apple, then stir again. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Enjoy!

      Hi Bonnie, I would try omitting the banana and replacing it with 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup liquid sweetener maple syrup or honey. It takes away the “no added sugar” aspect, but if you take away the banana you need something to add sweetness. Please let me know if you try it!

  You could try using silken tofu, canned pumpkin, or even applesauce, but applesauce is much wetter than mashed banana. Good luck.

These are perfect for a quick breakfast when mornings are rushed! I tried with a honeycrisp apple and a Paula Red, and found that the Paula Reds were much better because they were softer. The crisp apples were okay, but just didn’t blend as well texture-wise.

Can’t wait to bake these tonight! I do have one question and a dumb one. But what do you mean rolled oats. Is that a brand or a special kind of oat?
Reply
- Lidia Simic says
  April 30, 2018 at 7:52 am
  Hi Genevieve, Old fashioned oats and rolled oats are the same thing.
  The difference between steel-cut, rolled, and instant oats is simply how much the oat
  groat has been processed. This also results in each variety having a distinct texture and varying cook times.
  Rolled oats cook faster than steel-cut oats, absorb more liquid, and hold their shape relatively well during cooking.
  Rolled oats are commonly used in granola bars, cookies, muffins, and other baked goods.
  To be quite honest, I almost always only buy rolled oats so that way I can have either rolled oats, or make quick oats depending on what I’m making.
  For baking, regular rolled oats and quick cooking are usually interchangeable in a recipe. If your recipe calls for quick cooking oats and you only have old-fashioned rolled oats, pulse the old-fashioned oats in the food processor a few times.
  Rolled oats or old-fashioned are the oat rolled into flakes. This means the oils are stabilized, and the oats stay fresh longer. The larger surface area means they will cook more quickly than steel cut oats. I hope it helps!

I had made these this afternoon. I would for sure make a few adjustments. These bad boys do the job, fill you up. i followed the recipe as written and i couldnt help but find these flavorless. I would make these again as it would be a quick healthy breakfast/snack, but i would add either a small amount of chocolate chips or some sort of sweetener as the lack of flavor is hard to get by. They did come out very moist and cooked well, just needs a bit of flavor enhancement!!

Don’t over bake the muffins. They turn out moist inside when just starting to brown on top. Poke a toothpick in the middle of a muffin to test for doneness. They are an easy breakfast and work well for a filling take-with-you snack! So good!
