Apple Raisin Baked Oatmeal

Apple raisin baked oatmeal is a wonderful start to the day. The sweetness of the apples and raisins with the crunch of nuts is a perfect fall breakfast.

Apple raisin baked oatmeal is fantastic hot or room temperature with the warm flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. I love the fresh tart of the apple and the sweetness of the dried fruit. I have made this oatmeal bake with pecans and walnuts, they are both fantastic. 

I love to serve this for company with a side of yogurt and fresh fruit. It is very simple to prepare but gets rave reviews. We like plain yogurt with a dribble of honey and cinnamon. 

I originally found this recipe in my Taste of Home Light and Tasty 2013 Annual Recipes Cookbook. 

Let's grocery shop!

I am assuming you have salt and pepper. It is not included in pantry and spices. 

Pantry & Spices

  • baking powder
  • ground cinnamon
  • ground nutmeg

Grocery

  • Old fashioned oats
  • Eggs
  • Milk

Tip from me

We are a family of two so we have leftovers. I like to cut the oatmeal into squares let them come to room temperature then place them into the freezer for 8 hours. Remove the bars from the freezer and place them into a freezer bag. To reheat I place a bar on the plate for 2 minutes.
