  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Fruits

  • 1 cup diced apple (divided)
  • ½ cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish by spraying it with a non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, sea salt, ground flaxseed, almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform batter.
  3. Add Fruits: Fold in the raisins and ¾ cup of the diced apple gently into the oatmeal mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout.
  4. Transfer and Top: Pour the oatmeal mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of diced apple on top for an appealing finish and added texture.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the center is fully set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Enhance flavor by drizzling with almond butter, a splash of almond milk, or additional maple syrup as desired.
  7. Storage and Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat the entire dish, cover it with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. For individual servings, reheat in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for 5-10 minutes or microwave for about 1 minute.

Notes

  • Oats: Use rolled old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Quick oats or steel-cut oats will require different liquid amounts and cooking times. For steel-cut oats, try a specialized baked oats recipe.
  • Milk: Any non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk works well depending on taste preference.
  • Sweetener: Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup, noting that this may slightly alter the flavor.
  • Flaxseed: Chia seeds are a good alternative to flaxseed for omega-3s, or an egg can be used if vegan options are not required.
  • Coconut Oil: Substitute with avocado oil or unsalted butter if not vegan. Omitting oil entirely also works fine, though texture will vary slightly.
  • Raisins: Swap raisins for dried cranberries, apricots, or nuts such as walnuts or pecans for different flavor and texture.
