Description
This comforting breakfast bake is full of goodness — rolled oats, blended apples, cinnamon, and a buttery baked apple topping. It’s easy to mix up in one bowl (less washing up!) and perfect for slow mornings or weekly meal prep.
Ingredients
2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 tin of unsweetened apples, blended (drain first if very watery)
Apple Topping:
2 medium apples, diced
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C
- Grease a baking dish or use parchment paper to line it.
- In a large bowl (or directly in your casserole dish if you’re going for minimal clean-up), combine the dry ingredients: oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and the blended apples.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until combined
Make the Apple Topping:
-
Mix the cornstarch, cinnamon, and sugar together in a small bowl.
-
Toss the diced apples in the melted butter, then stir them through the spiced sugar mixture.
-
Add a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavours.
-
Scatter the coated apples gently over the top of your oat mixture.
Bake:
Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden on top and just set in the centre.
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
