Putting this Baked Oatmeal Together + Storing it
This meal requires just a few bowls + a spoon to throw together! A little mix, a little fold + 35 minutes in the oven will result in the warmest, most satisfying tray of Dairy Free Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal.
This oatmeal bake serves somewhere between 6-9 people…or one person 6-9 times ha! It’s great to bake up on a Sunday night to ensure the kiddos have something comforting to eat before school or to heat up before a busy day in the office.
It’ll keep in the fridge for just under a week and in the freezer for months! I slice it into servings and wrap it in parchment paper before I store it in a plastic bag in the freezer. (Stasher bags works really well if you’re trying to limit your plastic.) I remove a serving the night before I need it + allow it to defrost in the fridge overnight. But, you can totally heat it up from frozen too!
To serve from the fridge, I just heat it in the microwave for a minute or so + you’re good to go!
For maximum breakfast enjoyment, feel free to serve this baked oatmeal with an extra drizzle of maple syrup, some sliced apple + pecans! Or a side of bacon + eggs makes for the most amazing brunch spread. My personal fav? A big ole dallop of coconut yogurt + a sprinkle of cinnamon. Brilliance!
If you’re looking for a hearty breakfast, this is your guy!
