This dessert was created by a father who wanted to provide histamine-friendly treats for his family. Inspired by their love for apple pie, he decided to create a healthy, low-histamine version with oats. The result was this Apple and Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal, which has become a family favorite.
Apple and Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal is suitable for a low histamine diet as it uses ingredients known to be low in histamine: oats, apples, cinnamon, almond milk, and eggs. By avoiding high-histamine foods and focusing on fresh, natural ingredients, this dessert is a safer choice for those with histamine intolerance.

The choice of apple can impact the flavor of your baked oatmeal. A variety like Granny Smith will give a tart contrast to the sweetness of the maple syrup, while a sweeter variety like Gala or Fuji will create a milder, more harmonious flavor.
For the best flavor, consider grinding your cinnamon fresh. Pre-ground cinnamon loses its potency over time, while fresh-ground will provide a much more vibrant flavor.
Be gentle when combining your wet and dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in a denser oatmeal. It's okay if there are a few dry spots in your mix.
Baking times can vary depending on the oven. It's always good to start checking a bit earlier. The oatmeal is done when the top is golden and the mixture has set.
This baked oatmeal is delicious when served warm. If you have leftovers, you can reheat individual portions in the microwave. Be sure to add a splash of almond milk to keep it from drying out.
Feel free to experiment with toppings. You can add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt (if tolerated). This adds another layer of texture and flavor.
If you have any leftovers, make sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for about 3-4 days. You can reheat them in the microwave when you're ready to enjoy them again.
Remember that everyone's tolerance to histamine can be different, so it's important to pay attention to your body and adjust your diet accordingly. Always discuss dietary changes with a healthcare professional.
