Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups non-dairy milk (unsweetened vanilla almond milk recommended)
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup diced apple, divided
  • ½ cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt. Add the non-dairy milk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well to create a uniform mixture.
  3. Add Fruits: Fold in the raisins and ¾ cup of the diced apples carefully into the oat mixture.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and top with the remaining ¼ cup of diced apples for garnish and extra flavor.
  5. Bake: Bake the oatmeal in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with a drizzle of almond butter, additional almond milk, or maple syrup for extra richness and sweetness.
  7. Storage and Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat the whole dish, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. Reheat individual portions in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for 5-10 minutes, or microwave for 1 minute.

Notes

  • Oats: Use rolled oats only; quick or steel-cut oats will alter texture and cook time.
  • Milk Substitutes: Any non-dairy milk like oat, soy, or coconut milk works well.
  • Sweetener: Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup, which will change the flavor slightly.
  • Flaxseed Alternatives: Chia seeds or 1 egg can be used if you do not require a vegan option.
  • Coconut Oil: Can be replaced with avocado oil or melted unsalted butter for non-vegan version; recipe works without oil but may be less rich.
  • Dried Fruit Substitutes: Swap raisins for dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, or nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • Additional Spices: Add nutmeg, ginger, allspice, or apple pie spice for more warmth and depth.
