When you have plenty of apples in your kitchen, what could be a better way to use up those apples than in a delicious breakfast recipe? Apple Pecan Baked Oatmeal is one of our favorite breakfasts!

We love to go apple-picking in the fall, and bring home all the apples to make Apple Crisp, Apple Dip (to go with the apples), Applesauce, and Instant Pot Apple Butter.

Oats are a staple in our pantry that we buy in bulk from our food co-op.

We usually have regular oatmeal and baked oatmeal at least once a week, so we’re always on the lookout for new ways to use up our oats.

This simple recipe uses common, pantry staple ingredients.

  • Oats
  • Apples
  • Pecans

Why You’ll Love Apple Pecan Baked Oatmeal

This recipe is a delicious twist on plain baked oatmeal, with a cinnamon/apple/pecan flavor.

It’s a big hit at our house for a nourishing breakfast! We even like to eat leftovers for a snack (if we ever happen to have any left, that is).
