Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

This one was GOOD.

We gobbled it up and there wasn't much leftover!

 

 

Peighton told me it tasted like apple crisp and I'd have to agree!

She often eats like a bird....but she ate two bowls of this!!!!

What a great breakfast to have before I sent her off to Kindergarten.

 

 

Since I made it on a school morning, I combined the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients the night before in seperate containers.

Then I just had to dump it all together in the morning and throw it in the oven.

And since it only bakes for about 20 minutes it was a pretty quick breakfast to throw together.

 

I like that there are lots of chopped apples in it as well as applesauce.

We didn't add any additional toppings but we did discuss what other fruits we'd use for next time!
Bananas, blueberries and pears were on our list!
