Baked Vanilla Cinnamon Apple Cream of Wheat ingredients
- 3 cups rice milk
- 1 cup cream of wheat (quick-cooking)
- 2 medium apples (e.g., Gala, Fuji), peeled, cored, diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
How to make Baked Vanilla Cinnamon Apple Cream of Wheat
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or similar-sized baking dish with 1 tablespoon of vegan butter or coconut oil, ensuring all sides and corners are coated to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of rice milk, 1 cup of quick-cooking cream of wheat, 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or agave nectar), 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Add the 2 medium diced apples to the cream of wheat mixture and stir gently with a spatula to combine. Make sure the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a flat top.
- If desired, sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts evenly over the top of the mixture for added texture and a nutty flavor.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cream of wheat is set in the center and the edges are lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with moist crumbs, not liquid.
- Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes on a wire rack before serving. This allows the pudding to firm up slightly and cool to a comfortable eating temperature.
- Serve warm, either directly from the baking dish in individual portions, or scoop into bowls for a hearty and comforting breakfast.
