INGREDIENTS

This Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Apple Baked Oatmeal uses simple, hearty and inexpensive pantry-staples that you most likely already have, with a few delicious seasonal touches.

Rolled Oats & Ground Oats: You can easily grind your own oats into a flour using a blender or coffee grinder. This helps to thicken the mixture and give variation in texture.
Canned Pumpkin Purée & Non Dairy Milk: For our delicious pumpkin-y tasting and creamy base.
Honeycrisp Apples & Fresh Cranberries: Adds delightful juicy, sweet and tart freshness. Feel free to use any other variety of apple and frozen cranberries if that’s what’s available to you.
Yummy Warming Spices: Pumpkin Pie Spice, Cinnamon, Ginger and Vanilla add warm spice and fragrant flavour.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN SPICE CRANBERRY APPLE BAKED OATMEAL

The best part of about this Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Apple Baked Oatmeal is that once all the ingredients are mixed together, you can just pop it in the oven and walk away! No need to stand over the stove stirring and monitoring it.

In a casserole dish, combine all the dry ingredients together.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients until well combined, and pour into the casserole dish with the dry ingredients. Mix together until no dry spots remain.
Fold in the fresh cranberries and chopped apples, smooth into an even layer, then bake until golden around the edges and slightly cracked on top, about 30 minutes.
Cut into portions, serve and garnish with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

Plus, this breakfast is nutritious, low calorie (thanks to all that fibre!), and filling.
