Single-Serving Baked Apple Oatmeal

My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
Earlier this week when I went grocery shopping I found some jazz apples. They were practically glowing so I couldn’t resist grabbing a few to make a recipe.
Since I’ve been eating a small bowl of oatmeal every morning this week, I decided to experiment by making a fairly quick & very easy oatmeal bake. My personal challenge was to use only what I had in my fridge and pantry.
So, here’s what I came up with…

Single-Serving Baked Apple Oatmeal
- 1/3 cup raw, oatmeal (uncooked)
- 1/2 Jazz apple (or granny apple)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey (or raw cane sugar)*
- spray coconut oil
( * ) – Optional ingredient
- Set oven to 350F.
- Spray a cast iron skillet with coconut oil and set it on medium-high heat.
- Chop up half of the apple and add to the skillet once it is hot. Saute the apple until the edges turn brown, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir with a spatula to ensure the apple does not stick to the skillet.
- While the apple is cooking, mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl. If you find the batter is too thick and dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of almond milk.
- Add the sauteed apples to the mixture and stir. Then add the entire mixture back to the skillet.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Be careful not to overcook as it can quickly dry out.
- Serve and enjoy immediately.
