Wholesome Delight: Gluten-Free Apple Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal in Individual Servings for Effortless Meal Prep!

 

When the crisp air of autumn sets in, there’s nothing quite like the comforting aroma of apple and pumpkin spice wafting through the kitchen. Our gluten-free apple pumpkin baked oatmeal serves up the perfect blend of seasonal flavors and wholesome ingredients, all in convenient individual servings. Not only is this recipe a nutritious breakfast option, but it also makes meal prep a breeze with minimal clean-up!

 

Ingredients:

 

• 2 cup quick oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
 • 1 cups pumpkin puree
 • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
 • 1 teaspoon baking powder
 • 1 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
 • 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional for added protein)
 • 4 tbsp maple syrup
 • 1 cup diced apples
 • coconut sugar + pumpkin pie spice for topping
I understand the importance of easy clean-up, especially when time is of the essence. This recipe promotes a straightforward process that results in minimal mess. By using the individual glass meal prep containers, you’ll find that washing up is a breeze. Spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying the delightful flavors of fall. 
 
 

Customize this recipe just for YOU!

 
Adjust Sweetness to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, consider increasing the amount of maple syrup or adding a touch of brown sugar. Conversely, if you prefer less sweetness, you can reduce the amount of sweetener in the recipe. 
 
Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of additional maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of your baked oatmeal to enhance its flavor and presentation. 
 
 Customize with Mix-Ins: Feel free to customize your baked oatmeal by incorporating different mix-ins such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even chocolate chips for an added treat. These additions can provide extra texture and a burst of flavor. 
 
 Storage and Reheating: After baking, allow the oatmeal to cool completely before storing the individual servings in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to enjoy a serving, simply reheat it in the microwave for a quick and convenient breakfast on busy mornings.
 
Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality ingredients such as organic pumpkin puree, fresh apples, and pure maple syrup to ensure the best flavor and nutritional value in your baked oatmeal. 
 
 Don’t Overcrowd the Containers: Make sure not to overfill the glass meal prep containers to allow the oatmeal to expand while baking without overflowing. Leaving some room will ensure that the oatmeal bakes evenly and doesn’t make a mess in the oven. By following these tips, you can elevate the flavors and convenience of the gluten-free apple pumpkin baked oatmeal, making it an even more delightful addition to your breakfast or meal prep routine.
 
 

Tips for this Meal Prep

I made these oats with the Country Chicken Meatballs and I was able to knock the whole meal prep out in just about an hour! Here is how I did it!

  • start by chopping your apples and making the oatmeal mixture
  • Get the oatmeal into the oven and chop your onions + mushrooms.
  • Make the meatball mixture and fry those up in a pan.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, start to boil your noodles.
  • After the meatballs are done, remove them from the pan and start the sauce.
  • Take the oats out of the oven to cool down.
  • Put away the meatball meal and start the clean up.
  • The oats make take a while to cool down, but just throw the lid on a little later.

That’s it!

I hope this meal prep helps you! Don’t forget to follow along on social meadia for more Meal Prep + healthy recipes!
