Oatmeal is one in all my go-to breakfasts within the fall and winter as a result of it’s satiating and satisfyingly cozy. However I don’t at all times wish to soiled a pot each morning and watch for the oats to prepare dinner. Enter baked oatmeal! I get the satisfaction of scorching oatmeal each morning however solely should make one batch for the work week and soiled one pan!

The opposite cool factor about baked oatmeal is you possibly can change up the add-in components based mostly on what you’ve gotten readily available. Since apples are in-season proper now, I made a decision to make an apple model however you can swap in no matter fruit (or frozen fruit!) you’ve gotten readily available. 

This breakfast solely takes 5 minutes of hands-on prep time. And 50 minutes hands-off within the oven. Now if that’s not #BREAKFASTGOALS, I don’t know what’s.
