This warm and cozy Oatmeal Apple Breakfast Bake is the perfect cross between cake and oatmeal. Packed with fresh apples, cinnamon, and a soft oat flour base, it’s ideal for holidays or slow weekend mornings. Topped with pecans and finished with a sweet glaze.
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and place rack in center. Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Toss diced apples with lemon juice in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. Pulse oats in a blender or food processor to create coarse oat flour.
4. In a bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and cinnamon, then stir in oat flour. Set aside.
5. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Scrape sides and mix in vanilla and salt.
6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing fully between each.
7. Add half the dry ingredients and mix. Add apple juice or water, stir to combine, then mix in remaining dry ingredients.
8. Fold in apples and ½ cup chopped pecans. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
9. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup pecans on top. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
10. Let cake cool completely in the pan.
11. Mix powdered sugar and milk to make glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake, slice, and serve.
• You can replace pecans with walnuts or omit nuts entirely.
