More Topping Ideas:
Fresh Berries: Add a burst of freshness and extra vitamins with a topping of blueberries, raspberries or strawberries.
Chopped Dried Fruit: For added texture and sweetness, consider chopped dried apricots, cherries or raisins.
Chia Seeds: Sprinkle a few chia seeds on top for a boost of fiber and healthy fats.
Nut Butters: Spoon on a dollop of peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter for added protein and flavor.
Yogurt and Granola: Top your baked oatmeal with a dollop of plain yogurt and a sprinkle of granola for a parfait-like breakfast.
Leftovers and Reheating:
Leftover baked oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in a 380°F (180°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
Make-ahead tips:
You can make the oatmeal mixture (without the apples) the night before and store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply add the apples and cook as directed.
This baked oatmeal can also be frozen in portions for a quick and easy breakfast later. Freeze the cooled cooked oatmeal in slices or individual portions in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave or oven until heated through.
