Best Baked Oatmeal Recipe with Apples and Pears

Mini Chef Mondays is back in 2016! If haven’t see it before, this  is our chance to share a recipe we’ve made with our  kids each week. See all my Mini Chef Monday posts for more great ideas! This weekend Wesley and I made this amazing baked oatmeal for our family. In fact, I’ve dubbed it the best baked oatmeal recipe! It features delicious apples, pears, raisins and walnuts which an awesome combination. This breakfast will fill you up on a cold winter day and stick with you.

We discovered this baked apple oatmeal recipe and decided to tweak it a bit to suite our tastes. This recipe has plenty of opportunities for kids to get involved.

I chopped up the apples, pears and nuts while my three year old spooned the oatmeal and raisins in the measuring cups I laid out for him.

We added all the ingredients (except the milk) in the baking dish, and mixed them up well before pouring over the milk.

The result was a delicious treat for a holiday weekend but one that made me feel good. With minimal sugar, protein and plenty of fruit and oats, this is one recipe that feels special without guilt.

The best part was watching my older kids absolutely devour this oatmeal. Serve it will some additional milk or yogurt if you prefer. My husband had some honey greek yogurt with his but my kids and I enjoyed it plain.
