Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
