Great for breakfast or dessert this Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is like a cross between cooked oatmeal and cake and it is delicious.
It probably doesn't come as a surprise that I love oats, you will find many yummy recipes using them right here on Slimming Eats.
3 different delicious homemade granola recipes - Pumpkin Granola, Banana Granola and Chocolate Granola. I've been really enjoying having these or breakfast or dessert with yoghurt and fresh fruit. It bulks up the Healthy Extra B serving of oats a little more and makes them much more filling.
As well as the granola recipes, I have also made various yummy doughnuts using oats - such a White Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts, Pumpkin Doughnuts, Chocolate Doughnuts, Banana Doughnuts and even Oreo Doughnuts. If you haven't given any of those a try yet, you really must.
I even have a recipe for Gluten Free Soda Bread which also uses oats. But in case none of those appeal, I also have all these Oat Recipes
I had a few things to get done the other morning and wanted to prepare something for breakfast that I could throw in the oven, let it cook for a while and it be ready once I was done and so figured baked oatmeal would be a good option and went on a search of the contents of the fridge for inspiration.
I spotted a jar of chunky apple sauce and figured it would be perfect. (I always like to have apple sauce on hand, because it is great for sweetening baked goods for the kids without adding lots of sugar). Obviously calories in apple sauce will vary slightly, so be sure to double check the one you use.
If you have time, you could even make some homemade apple sauce for this Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal. You could even add in some chopped fresh apple, I like the apple sauce though, as it tends to pack more flavour and sweetness.
To sweeten this Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal I used some Sukrin Gold, but any sweetener will do, just be aware the taste may differ if you use a different brand of sweetener as some tend to have a bit of an aftertaste. I like Sukrin, because it is the only sweetener I have found that has no aftertaste. So worth investing in some if you haven't already.
This Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal will also be gluten free if you use gluten free oats (not all oats are gluten free, so be sure to check the ones you use). Unfortunately because of the yoghurt, it isn't dairy free, but you could try this with a dairy free yoghurt alternative (let me know how that turns out if you do).

I've just had this and it was like having pudding for breakfast. I had to adapt it a bit as I don't have any applesauce so I made it without and served it with a chopped apple and half a tablespoon of maple syrup, the syns are still the same. Love this thank you
Rona says
I make this in three muffin cases. I feel so 'naughty' having three 'cakes', really hits the spot! Have you tried freezing these Siobhan? Sorry I just wondered if I could quadruple the recipe and freeze some for later in the week it would save me time in the kitchen.
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hey Rona - I haven't tried, but I can't see it being a problem to freeze. 🙂
Emma-Louise says
Can I use any other sugar/sweetners that have no syns?
Thanks
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi you certainly can, I just prefer sukrin, as it has no aftertaste. 🙂
Lisa O'Reilly says
Really liked this
Kathy Woodward says

Suek says
Absolutely delicious and filling x
Nicola says
Could you put in a slow cooker overnight please
Would be great to wake up to it already cooked
Rachel Sireling says
I absolutely love this recipe, it's become my go-to breakfast for work. I make a big batch of 10 portions each time - it looks like a horrible bowl of puke when I mix up the ingredients but when it's baked it smells and tastes delicious! I bake it in a big rectangular dish and then when it's done I cut it into portions and freeze it and then just pop a portion into the microwave when I get to work. The first time I brought it to work my coworkers thought it was a cake and by the time they'd all tasted it I only had a tiny bite left for my breakfast! Thanks for the recipe - it's so easy to make and so yummy!! 🙂
Sandra says
Made double the amount last night in one dish and then cut it in half as I wanted to see what it was like cold and re-heated. Had it re-heated this morning and also tried a small piece cold, have to say I liked it both ways, found a different breakfast to take to work X
Sian says
Fantastic recipe! Tried it this morning and it was so tasty. Very pleased to have found your website. Thank you! Sian x
Sue says
Hi Shevy. I love this recipe, but do you think it would cook ok in the microwave?
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Sue - without testing I wouldn't be able to say for sure.
Amelia says
Would using unsweetened apple sauce work well? Also instead of using sweetener and using sugar would I still add 1 tbs? I’m thinking this will be a great breakfast for the kids but have no sweetener in the house.
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Amelia, yes I think those swaps will work okay.
Jo Barlow says
I made this for my breakfast today. Oh wow!! Utterly delicious I’m so pleased that I found this site. Thank you!
Nade says
Hi, are these able to be frozen?
Thank you 🙂
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
I always find these are best enjoyed the day of baking, but it should freeze fine too.
Caz says
Oh my goodness, just eaten this served hot with a dollop of creme fraise as a dessert..absolutely yummy.
Thank you for the recipe, it may be my new favourite pudding
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
so glad you enjoyed it, sounds yummy with creme fraiche
Gail says
Hi, Is the apple sauce used in the UK (usually served with Pork) is suitable for this recipe?
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Gail, the one I use is unsweetened, it's great for using in baking. I think you can find unsweetened in the baby food aisle of the grocery store in the UK, but you can also easily make your own.
