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.

Making Baked Oatmeal with Kids

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.

I was able to warm up the leftovers with some extra milk to make it nice and soft. I even added a little sprinkle of brown sugar on the top which my son said was awesome!
