Considering there are endless opportunities to include collagen powder in your routine, I'm now conditioned to scroll through my Instagram feed and think, Could I add collagen to that? whenever a yummy recipe video pops up. After all, collagen peptides are rich in amino acids to promote healthy skin, hair, and nails (mbg's formula also contains vitamins C and E to support collagen synthesis and cross-linking; hyaluronic acid to enhance skin moisture and texture; and biotin to help maintain healthy hair), and the flavor is largely undetectable in most dishes.* Why not chuck it in?
So, naturally, when I came across this gooey baked apple oatmeal from registered dietitian Catherine Perez, R.D., I had to test the waters. I gave the recipe a couple of tweaks—I didn't have cornstarch to thicken the apple mixture, baking powder to give the oats more lift, or pecans for a crunchy topping—but the end result is just as warm and cozy.
If you're looking for a filling, autumn-inspired breakfast that also supports your skin, you're in luck.* This one tastes like a treat.
Cozy Apple Collagen Baked Oats
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Juice of half a lemon
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (I used cashew butter)
- ½ cup oat milk
- 1 scoop mbg beauty & gut collagen+
Method
- Cut the apple into thin slices and sauté with maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice until softened.
- In a separate bowl, add the oats, hemp seeds, cinnamon, nut butter, collagen, and oat milk. Stir until well combined.
- Layer the apple mixture on the bottom of an oven-safe ramekin. Pour the oat mixture on top, and sprinkle with cinnamon (here you can also add a nut topping if you choose).
- Bake for around 30 minutes at 350°F, or until golden brown on top.
The takeaway.
These apple baked oats are perfect for a cozy autumn morning. I tested the recipe with mbg's beauty & gut collagen+, and it tasted just as sweet and gooey—and collagen's skin-supporting benefits made it even sweeter.*
