Why These Apple and Cinnamon Baked Oats Are Healthy
Dietary fiber is abundant in apples. They appear to reduce the risk of diabetes. According to studies, eating an apple’s fructose has virtually little impact on blood sugar levels. An average medium apple has 25 grams of carbs, 95 calories, and 14% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin C. Apples are quite filling since they are high in fiber and water. After only one, you’ll probably feel full. Consequently, you won’t be as tempted to consume other less healthy meals!
How to store baked oatmeal
Once the baked oatmeal has completely cooled, you can either chop it into even pieces or put it in a jar with a cover and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Alternately, let the baking dish cool fully, then keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Oats That Work Best For Apple Baked Oatmeal
You can choose from a few varieties of oats. Old, fashioned rolled oats, quick, cooking oats, and old, fashioned rolled oats that have been verified to be gluten, free have all been used in the testing of this recipe, with consistently positive outcomes. Old, fashioned rolled oats will result in a baked oatmeal that is softer, creamier, and somewhat more chewy than quick, cook oats. In this recipe, any one will work well.
Baked Apple Oatmeal Reheated:
Take a serving (or desired amount) of baked oats from the freezer, keep it in the container, and refrigerate it overnight. Alternatively, you may microwave frozen baked oatmeal pieces on a plate for 30 to 40 second intervals (the exact amount of time will depend on your microwave’s power) until thoroughly heated.
