Healthy Apple Spice Baked Oatmeal

Didn't follow exactly, but because there is only 1 review at the moment I thought this might be helpful. First time (based on what I had on hand): Substituted walnuts for pecans, chia seeds for flax, milk for almond milk. Cook time double. My family did not care for the texture. The flavor was good though, and I liked the healthy ingredients, so decided to give it a second try. Second time, to make it less chunky: Substituted peanut butter for pecans, 1 additional cup apple sauce for apples and raisins, milk for almond milk. Cook time double. It went over a bit better with everyone, but still wasn't a hit. That said, I kept eating them, so there was certainly something appealing about it. I think it may be that we don't care for the texture of baked oatmeal--we usually eat regular oatmeal or overnight oats. I'm pretty confident even if we had followed the recipe perfectly, it wouldn't have been better received because of the texture. That's why I took off a star. However, 4 stars for a good flavor, for being healthy, and for enjoying them myself. I thought they were best fully cooled and the next day--didn't last past that :-) I would say it's worth a try if the ingredients look good to you. Thanks for sharing!

OMG- I think I found my baking twin. I have made many different muffins, and usually had to substitute some ingredients for healthier option. This recipe; I followed exactly. These muffins are so moist and so delicious that I can't wait to share them!

We like them cold better than hot. Perfect for a make-ahead meal plan, to take to work to add a healthy carb to your diet. I'm about ready to make my second batch!

I did not care for them too much, but I am trying to eat more healthy so it is a process. I made a half batch and made mini muffins so I got 24, approx. 50 calorie muffins. Cooked for 13 minutes and as others did I did substitute walnuts as that is what I had on hand. I may try with double apple and double spices if I make them again.

I used walnuts instead of pecans because that’s what I had. I also substituted apple butter for 1/2 the applesauce and 3 Tbls. of blue agave syrup for the brown sugar. Also I baked in a 11 x 7 pan for 30 minutes and cut into 12 squares and froze in individual servings to warm up later. I really liked it but I gave it 4 stars because I feel is still needs something.

It is terrific. The only changes were to decrease fat and calories by using egg whites instead of whole eggs and Brown sugar mix with half sweetener . My husband likes them too. Great healthy quick breakfast or snack.
