Single Serving Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal
Good morning friends! Today, I am sharing yet another oatmeal recipe with all of you. This time, I decided to make baked apple pie oatmeal, and let me just say, it did not disappoint. At this rate, my blog is on track to become the most oatmeal heavy food blog on the internet, but I think I’m ok with that.
As you guys already know, I love trying out new oatmeal flavor combinations and baking methods, and I really think I nailed the flavors and texture with this one. I am so excited to share it with all of you on the blog, and you can also see visuals of it on my TikTok and Instagram pages (feel free to follow me on those platforms if you aren’t already).
Now, let’s go ahead and take a look at some quick things to note for this recipe, as well as the ingredients you will need to make this apple pie baked oatmeal a smashing success.
How To Make Baked Oatmeal For One
Making baked oatmeal for one is actually much easier than you might think. You simply measure out one serving and bake it in a small dish, such as an oven safe ramekin.
The bake time is usually around 20 to 25 minutes depending on the recipe. The oatmeal turns out fresh, hot, fluffy, and cake-like in texture. I often prefer the single serve method over making a big oatmeal bake, because I like the taste of fresh oatmeal better than reheating leftovers from a large oatmeal bake.
What Is Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal?
Apple pie baked oatmeal is essentially a mix of apple, oats, and spices. This makes the flavor very reminiscent of traditional apple pie. The texture is more cake-like, but the flavor profile is incredible, especially with the sweetness of the baked apple pieces.
Now that we have made it through some quick things to note for this recipe, let’s dive into the list of ingredients you will need to make this apple pie baked oatmeal.
Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal – Ingredients
- Rolled or Quick Cooking Oats – The oats are the first key ingredient you will need to make this recipe. Since the oats will be blended up in a food processor or high speed blender with all of the other base ingredients, you can use either rolled or quick cooking oats. I used quick cooking oats. If you want to make this recipe gluten free, use your favorite gluten free oats.
- Fresh Apple – The next ingredient you need for this apple pie baked oats recipe is part of a freshly chopped apple. I used a small honeycrisp apple, but you can use whichever kind you like best.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder acts as the key leavening agent for this recipe. It ensures that the oatmeal rises like a cake and achieves a nice, fluffy texture. It is a necessary ingredient that you definitely do not want to forget.
- Cinnamon – The cinnamon is the key spice we will use in this recipe to achieve that classic apple cinnamon flavor. A little bit goes a long way.
- Water – The water is the necessary liquid that will help all the ingredients come together to form a nice and smooth oatmeal batter. You could also use nut milk, such as unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- Nut Butter – The nut butter will be added on top of your oatmeal when it is done baking for additional richness and flavor. I have used peanut butter, almond butter, and mixed nut butter on top of this baked apple pie oatmeal, and the oatmeal tasted delicious with all three.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup will be drizzled on top of the apple pie oatmeal once it is done baking. If desired, you can also add a little bit of pure maple syrup to the oatmeal batter itself for extra sweetness. I personally prefer to just drizzle the syrup on top of the oatmeal once it finishes baking, but it’s really up to you and your personal preference.
