Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Gently fold in the cranberries and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow the oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as-is or with a drizzle of additional maple syrup or a splash of milk on top.
