Description

Start your morning with this warm, wholesome apple pecan oatmeal baked with a crunchy pecan & cranberry crumble on top!

Ingredients

Oatmeal Base

1 cup plain greek yogurt (I used nonfat)
1 cup milk of choice (I use ultra filtered for higher protein)
2 tbsp melted butter
2 eggs
3 cups rolled oats (old fashioned oats)
2 cups diced apples (any variety you like!)
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt

Pecan Crumble Topping

1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp softened butter
3 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned oats)

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly coat an 8x8 baking dish with butter or oil spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the oatmeal base ingredients.
3
In a small bowl, combine the crumble topping ingredients except for the dried cranberries. Those will be put on after baking. You may want to use your hands to evenly mix in the butter with the rest of the ingredients.
4
Transfer the oatmeal base into the baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top the oatmeal with the crumble mixture. I do this with my fingers to evenly crumble it over the top.
5
Bake in the oven uncovered for about 30 minutes. It should be golden and toasted on top. If it doesn't seem set in the middle, leave in for an additional 5 or so minutes. If the nuts seem like they are burning before the oatmeal is baked through, you can cover the dish with foil, but I have not had to do that.
6
Right when you pull it out of the oven, sprinkle on all of the dried cranberries. Let cool before slicing into 6 servings. Enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 5 days.
