Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, for topping)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces (for streusel)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut in the 3 tablespoons cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans, if using.
  6. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into squares. This is a great make ahead breakfast option.

Notes

  • You can prepare this entire dish the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. Add about 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt for an easy breakfast bake.
  • This oatmeal casserole freezes well. Cut into individual squares, wrap, and freeze for up to three months.
