Apple Walnut Baked Oatmeal
Baked oatmeal is one of my favorite things to make, and I really don’t make it often enough. It is so simple, you can customize it however you want, and it will please just about anyone.
Today’s version contains apples, walnuts, and cinnamon, and we all know that you can never go wrong with this combo. It basically tastes like a warm apple pie for breakfast. You really don’t need much in the way of toppings because you have everything you need baked right inside. But feel free to get creative and top it with whatever you want. I personally just like to drizzle a little maple syrup over the top, and I officially have the breakfast of my dreams.
This baked oatmeal is perfect for slow weekend mornings, or hosting a brunch for friends, it feeds a crowd and everyone loves it.
