It has changed over the years depending on our season of life, but my current breakfast strategy is to prep one large breakfast ahead of time on Sunday and rotate it with eggs, bacon or sausage, and smoothies throughout the week. I find that this strategy saves me time and my sanity in the morning when I'm not at my freshest. Hello, non-morning person. This baked apple oatmeal is one of those make ahead breakfasts that gets rotated, especially in the fall when apples are in season.
If you are wanting to get a hot breakfast into your family but find yourself short on time in the morning, this might be a good strategy for you too. My husband takes a prepped breakfast every single morning to work. Whether it's a breakfast burrito, breakfast bowl, yogurt with fruit and granola, muffins, egg sandwich, or this baked oatmeal, he's always faithful to put his breakfast together the night before so he can grab and go at 7:30am to catch the train for work.
Since my daughter was diagnosed with food allergies a couple of years ago, I use a lot of oats. I find that it's a cheap gluten free grain that I can make into so many different things. This baked apple oatmeal is just another yummy way to use them.
What I love the most about this baked oatmeal is that it uses simple pantry ingredients that most people have in their home already. I love recipes like that. If you are gluten free though, I do recommend buying certified gluten-free oats just to be safe.
I hope you love this recipe and it becomes a staple breakfast in your own home.
