Enjoy this easy to make apple cinnamon oatmeal casserole breakfast recipe any weekend or holiday morning.

Enjoy this easy to make apple cinnamon oatmeal bake any day of the week.
My son is a huge fan of apple crisp. This apple cinnamon oatmeal bake allows him to enjoy his favorite dessert for breakfast. While it’s similar to my Honeycrisp apple crisp recipe it’s heartier.
It’s packed with protein and healthy carbs. No guilt eating this for breakfast!
I chose this bake to serve a crowd of hungry swimmers recently. I served this recipe alongside my hash brown egg bake.
Is this recipe healthy?
I needed a healthy recipe that was packed with protein and healthy carbs. This was the perfect choice.
This oatmeal bake is packed with healthy oats, sweet chunks of apple, plump juicy raisins and toasted pecans.
This breakfast bake uses everyday pantry staples. I always have oats and fresh apples on hand. So many nuts and dried fruits can be substituted for the pecans and raisins if you need to make a switch.
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
It’s the perfect casserole to serve on a busy weekend or holiday morning. It can be made the night before and baked or reheated in the morning.
It’s simply a matter of adding the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, pouring it into a casserole pan and baking for about 45 minutes.
I like to sprinkle a few extra raisins and chopped pecans on top before serving.
Apples are a favorite in my family this time of year. Be sure to get my apple quesadilla recipe as well as my rustic apple tart, perfect for any Christmas table.

I love eating oatmeal for breakfast because it’s warm, easy to make, and fills me up until lunch. However after a while, plain old oatmeal get boring, even with toppings. This beautiful and seasonal bake looks like the answer to my oatmeal purgatory! I can’t wait to give it a try!
