This easy fall, carrot and apple baked oatmeal recipe, is dedicated to my dad. It’s one of his favorite recipes of mine and for good reason. Enjoy it slightly warm on a cool autumn day!
Apples and carrots are two ingredients that pair so well in baking. Add some oatmeal and your favorite fall spices and you get a great breakfast or dessert!
Plus, anytime I can sneak some veggies in a breakfast recipe, I feel like I’m winning in life! Anyone else?
A lot of times when cooking a baked oatmeal, I’ll add the oats in whole. But in this recipe, I blend them. It gives this breakfast recipe more of a dessert feel. Which is totally fine with me cause I’m a dessert girl at heart!
No need to feel guilty when enjoying this recipe though. It’s packed with fiber, healthy fats and will keep you feeling full, longer!
If you want to make a larger batch for meal prep, it’s easy to do too…Simply double the recipe. Use a baking dish instead of individual ramekins. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when you prick it. Eat right away, or save for the week ahead!
I’m telling you, this will become a family favorite. Even dads who tease and say you cook with oats too much will love it!
Many Hugs,
