This healthy baked oatmeal is my latest creation. If you like this, you may also like my strawberry banana baked oatmeal or my almond butter chocolate baked oatmeal.

The oatmeal you can take on the go!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dried pineapples
- 2 T coconut oil (measure after melting)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup carrots (shredded)
- 2 flax eggs (I used flax egg replacements)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in one bowl .
- Mix wet in another.
- Add dry to wet and mix until combined.
- Spoon mixture into lined muffin pans .
- I used jumbo and got 6. If you use standard, you will get 12.
- I baked the jumbo sized oatmeal for 20 minutes. If you do standard sized, you probably need to bake for less time. I am guessing about 12-15 minutes.
Recipe Notes
I used jumbo muffin pans and baked these for 20 minutes. If you use standard muffin pans, you will need to bake them for less time. I would check on them after 10 minutes. My guess is the standard sized oatmeal would take about 12-15 minutes. Store these in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last a couple weeks that way. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
