Easy Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal Recipe Is Like Dessert for Breakfast Went Viral Breakfast Brunch

Dessert for breakfast? Yes, please! The pumpkin baked oatmeal recipe inspired by the viral TikTok baked oatmeal craze sounded so good that I decided to make it, even though I didn’t have any pumpkin. I used the same basic recipe, but pivoted to apple cinnamon instead. 

• I peeled and diced four honey crisp apples and I also added an additional cup of oats and another 3/4 cup of almond milk to ensure plenty of leftovers. (I’m a big fan of my 13x9-inch baking pan.)

• I added a 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, a 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and an extra teaspoon of cinnamon for good measure.

It turned out even more delicious than I expected. It has a cake-like consistency, yet it tastes like apple pie, so I topped it with a bit of Redi-whip whipped cream, just for fun. What a great new way to eat oatmeal! Here's the original recipe, modified with my additions.
