Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rolled Oats gluten free, as needed
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans (or Raisins)
  • 2 Tablespoons Ground Flax Seed
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 3/4 cups Milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 2 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced apples

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep. To start, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x9 or 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free oats, chopped pecans, ground flax, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
  • Add Wet Ingredients. Next, add almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, and the diced apples. Stir to combine. (It'll look soupy at this point!)
  • Bake. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  • Cool & Serve. Let oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with a splash of almond milk and a drizzle of pure maple syrup, if desired. Store leftovers covered or in an airtight container in the fridge 2-3 days.

Notes

  • Spice Blend Shortcut - You could totally swap in apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon/nutmeg combination I used above.
  • Gluten Free Notes. If you're avoiding gluten, be sure to buy certified gluten-free oats. We like Bob's Red Mill or Trader Joe's brands.
  • Nut Free? You can totally omit the pecans, or add additional apples or some raisins.
