Apple-Berry Baked Oatmeal with Honey and Cinnamon

How to Make Apple-Berry Baked Oatmeal with Honey and Cinnamon

1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat oven and prepare pan

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with the melted butter, making sure to coat the bottom and sides so the oatmeal releases easily after baking.

   For this step

   • 2 tbspunsalted butter, melted (for greasing)
2. 2

   Step 2: Combine dry ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder and salt until evenly distributed. This ensures the spice and leavening are worked through the oats for consistent flavor and texture.

   For this step

   • 2 cupsrolled (old-fashioned) oats
   • 1 1/2 tspground cinnamon
   • 1 tspbaking powder
   • 1/4 tspfine salt
   
3. 3

   Step 3: Whisk wet ingredients

   In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the milk, eggs and honey until smooth and slightly frothy. Pour the wet mixture into the dry oat mixture and stir until the oats are evenly moistened.

   For this step

   • 2 cupsmilk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)
   • 2 largelarge eggs
   • 1/4 cuphoney

   Step 4: Fold in fruit and assemble

   Gently fold the diced apple and mixed berries into the oat batter, saving a few berries for the top if desired. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula so it bakes evenly.

   For this step

   • 1 largeapple, cored and diced (skin on or off)
   • 1 1/2 cupsmixed berries (fresh or frozen, partially thawed if frozen)

   Step 5: Bake until set

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set (a toothpick inserted near the center should come out mostly clean). If using frozen berries, an extra 3–5 minutes may be needed.

   Step 6: Cool and serve

   Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 10 minutes so it firms up, then slice into six squares. Serve warm drizzled with extra honey or a splash of milk and a dollop of yogurt if you like; leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
