First off I wanna try this bread. Secondly, this recipe sounds like I need to give it a go. Thirdly, I like my oatmeal with milk, various seeds and nuts, and my fruit of choice. Currently, cut up grapes do the trick...!

Wow. all those things would be great in the baked oatmeal!

Another thing I need to try. Baked oatmeal...!

Thanks for this wonderful recipe, I’ve been wondering what to eat for breakfast! I like to cut off a slab and fry it slowly in a bit of butter.

You would be doing a verrrrrrrrry good thing.

Granny Smith, other tart apple, or any apple??

Truly any apple you have on hand will do fine. I did a random mix of gala and winesaps, because that's what I had. I would only avoid soft apples like Macintosh.

Dear Marissa: What temperature do you bake this at? I have my counter full of ingredients all ready to make this, but don’t know the answer to this question. Can you please assist? Thank you, dear one. 😊. I am salivating in anticipation of this autumnal delight. 🤗

I did figure that out and set it to 350. I have about 2 minutes left and my kitchen smells a little like heaven. Thank you so much. 🙏

Hope it tasted as good as it smells!

Yes, it was quite delicious. I divide the recipe in half, and that works out so well. Now, I can’t stop thinking what other things I can do with this recipe; pumpkin, perhaps? Berries? I think you mentioned there are endless possibilities. I love to bake and I cherish your recipes; adoring every presentation, your writings and magical photography. You are SO talented and we are so lucky. Thank you. Marissa.

Happened to me, too. Baked it for 40 min at 350F and it was perfect.

Glad to hear it.

I love when I stumble upon an unintentionally gluten free recipe! I love all of these flavors and can't wait to try this. Thank you.

Let me know how you like it!

The recipe came together super easily, and the house smelled divine while baking. The cake has appealing texture and nice subtle flavors despite the full tsps. each of cinnamon and nutmeg. I'm thinking about making it again with some homemade apple butter. But whatever changes I make I know it will become a new favorite breakfast for me- the hubby will require a drizzle of maple syrup (or a scoop of ice cream!) for him to like it as well. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!

I'm kinda with your husband, but glad to hear that even he might like it. Doesn't it make the house smell nice?

Hi. I'm loving your recipes but have not as yet figured how to print them from substack or my email without the entirety of the email page or the full page including comments from substack. Is there a reason you may know of?

Expand full comment

I usually open it in the web browser instead of substack, usually when it arrives as an email. Then, I can print it out. Can’t print from substack either

Expand full comment

Thanks for the tip, Mona! That's so helpful. I'm also trying to get myself a plug-in that puts a printable version in the substack!

That would be awesome, and make things easier! I like to have a printed version of a recipe when I’m in the kitchen! Thanks!

Thank you I will give it a try.

Marissa, you keep me going, girl. I will have to go to TJ’s and buy the forbidden Maple Brioche bread. And on to the oat recipe (banana for me!). This made my day!

Expand full comment

You have been warned about the bread. (And let me know what you think.)

Expand full comment

I immediately went to TJ’s this morning after reading your post.

Every associate in the store who saw it in my basket told me how good it was. I advised them I had just read a post from a trusted expert. 👌

Warmed, with butter, absolutely awesome. (I love maple syrup). Your variations all sound good. My family will benefit and they will be glad...👍

You are awesome. We shall spread the gospel of baked oatmeal! (And cookies and cake....)

Really like your recipes—Joyce Vance’s blog alerted me to yours. But you know when you’re feeling shame or guilt about sugar, neither maple syrup nor honey are virtuous, yes? They’re both, essentially, sugar. Can’t wait to try this one though.

Of course, 'tis true. Thanks for joining the blog, Dr. Honey Stealer!

I work at my county's food bank and Trader Joes is so generous with giving us boxes and boxes of food ready to expire. The Maple Streusel Bread was in a couple weeks ago and it was everything I could do to not just rip one right open.

Expand full comment

You are a good person to volunteer at your county's food bank. But to not take a taste of that bread? That makes you saint-like!

Expand full comment

Absolutely fabulous. Made it today. Too bad can’t post a photo here. Moist and delicious and so satisfying!

I veganized the recipe by replacing the eggs with a banana and ground flax seed:

Place plant milk (amount indicated in recipe), one mid sized ripe banana, cut in chunks and 4 tablespoons ground flax seed in a high powered blender and blend on “high” for one minute. Add to recipe as directed.

I omitted the Apple sauce since I didn’t have any, but the whole banana made up for it.

Next, I’m going to replace the apples with frozen mixed berries!!!

Thank you for doing the vegan version! I love that banana and ground flax seed do the same as eggs. I'm going to try this!

👍🤜🤛

love this Marissa and will make without the butter and use coconut oil!

Great idea. See Mona Sigal's post above. She veganized the entire recipe!

Please apologize to the cat from me. I spent most of writing this trying to keep my cat from blocking my screen!
