Whether you are watching your waistline or just want a delicious breakfast, these tempting jars of Apple Cinnamon Baked Weight Watchers Oatmeal are a filling and healthy choice for a quick breakfast. I chose ingredients that are known for their weight loss or health benefits. The three main ingredients pack a healthy punch that makes this a perfect breakfast choice.
Cinnamon is known to help control blood sugar levels, aid in weight loss, prevent stomach bugs (cinnamon is highly anti- bacterial), as well as aid in alertness and memory. Apples provide soluble fiber and regulate your blood sugar. While oatmeal is filling and is another excellent source of fiber that also helps control blood sugar. Aside from all the health benefits this baked oatmeal is simply fabulous!

Do you refridgerate them to use during the week? If so, do you heat them in the microwave before eating?
Yes, you can prepare many jars in advance and put in the fridge. Complete step 10 (adding a bit of milk) when you are ready to eat – before heating in the microwave. I like to put in a bowl before microwaving. I’m always nervous heating up cold glass.
Hi!
Are these points calculated as smart points or on the old program? Thanks!
These points are still based on the old system. I’m working to get the recipes updated with the new Smart Points program.
I just added this recipe to the new Smart Points program recipe builder and it comes out to be 5 points.
Thanks! I updated the post
What’s the serving size amount please for we smart point’s
This makes 4 servings and is 5 SmartPoints per serving. Enjoy!
Could I make this in a casserole dish? I’m not really into cooking things in mason jars, but the recipe sounds delicious!
It should work well in any baking dish. Just keep an eye on the oven since the baking time will vary. Let us know how it turns out if you don’t mind.
I made 2.5 times the recipe to make enough for my hubby andI all week. 350 and it took 40 minutes. Looks and smells divine!
Such a great idea! I love to batch cook like this. It saves such much time and energy later.
Does this work with simply filling?
It should work with simply filling but you might need to make a couple adjustments. I don’t think the almond milk is on the list of foods, so maybe substitute in soy milk? Also, brown sugar isn’t on the simply filling list, so consider a sugar substitute.
If you try this route, please let us know how it turns out. I’m sure others are following the simply filling method as well.
I thought this was a Instant Pot recipe? Doesn’t even mention it , I was searching under Instant Pot recipes for weight watchers ..The last page I was on said this recipes was an Instant Pot, but according to the recipe it’s calls to put it in the oven?
This is not an Instant Pot recipe. I’m not sure what page you were on that implied this. If you’re willing to use an oven, it’s a delicious WW recipe.
I got to this exactly the same way — searching for InstantPot recipes and this came up.
