These apple cinnamon baked oats are the perfect cosy autumn breakfast. Topped with raisins, full warming cinnamon and baked to perfection.

For a warming, indulgent (but healthy) fall breakfast, look no further than these apple cinnamon baked oats. 

In just half an hour, you get the flavours of cinnamon cake studded with juicy raisins and apples. Tender, soft and perfectly sweet, these baked oats are sure to become an autumn staple. 

If you've never tried baked oats before, you're in for a real treat. The texture of the oatmeal becomes light and springy - truly emulating a baked apple cinnamon cake! 

Ingredients and substitutions

• Oats: The base of any baked oats recipe is (of course) oats! We recommend using rolled oats for optimal texture.
• Eggs: Use regular eggs or for a plant-based option, substitute flax eggs instead - made with ground flax seed and water. 
• Apple Sauce: Apple sauce adds a nice moist texture to these baked oats while imparting a delicious apple flavour. 
• Milk: Use your milk of choice. We've had success with both dairy milk and soy milk. We haven't tried using almond or oat milk, so if you give it a go, leave a comment and let us know how it turns out!
• Maple syrup: Syrup is the perfect sweetener for this breakfast, adding a lovely autumnal richness. If you don't have maple on-hand, however, you can substitute this with your sweetener of choice including white or brown sugar, honey, agave or whatever else you have on-hand. 
• Baking powder: Baking powder helps your baked oats rise, so we don't recommend leaving it out. 
• Sea salt: A pinch of salt helps balance out the sweetness, but feel free to skip it if you prefer.
• Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon is an essential flavour component in this recipe! You can leave it out, but you'll be missing out on a lot of the flavour.  
• Apple: You can't have apple baked oats without apple! We used a sweet Ambrosia apple (similar to Honeycrisp), but a sour variety like Granny Smith would also be great in this recipe.
• Raisins: We love the texture and flavour that raisins add to this breakfast. If you don't like raisins, you can swap them for another dried fruit like cranberries, chopped dates or dried currants. You can also leave them out altogether.  

Why We Love This Recipe

• Vegan-friendly: This recipe is easily made vegan by using flax egg and soy milk. 
• Festive: These baked oats taste like autumn in breakfast form - it doesn't get better than that! 
• Fun: We believe healthy eating should be fun, and these baked oats are a perfect example! A breakfast that feels like a dessert while nourishing you? That's a win in our books.

Tips & Tricks

• Use a Mini Blender: If you have a small blender like a Nutribullet or Beast blender, now is the perfect time to use it! Using a bigger blender sometimes results in the mix spreading out more, which means it doesn't blend as smoothly. 
• Finely Chop the Apple: To achieve the perfect amount of apple in every bite, we recommend chopping the apple nice and fine - about the size of a bean! 
• Grease your Ramekin: To ensure that your baked oats don't stick to the sides of the ramekin, make sure to grease it before pouring in your batter.
