Baked Apple Cherry Oatmeal
Enjoy our recipe for delicious, warming, baked apple cherry oatmeal. This breakfast meal combines the sweet and tart flavors of apples and cherries with the rich aromas of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, and allspice. Fruit tossed with maple syrup and vanilla extract, is baked to soften before being mixed with a hearty combination of thick-cut rolled oats, milk (which can be dairy or plant-based), a beaten egg, and chopped pecans for added texture and nuttiness. A pinch of salt enhances the flavors, and the entire mixture is baked until the liquid is absorbed, creating a comforting and nutritious breakfast or dessert option. Serving it warm with a dollop of yogurt on top adds a creamy, tangy finish that complements the sweet and spiced oatmeal perfectly. This recipe is designed to serve six, making it an excellent choice for family breakfasts or a brunch gathering.
