Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned oats
- 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, stirring until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. The mixture will be slightly runny.
Fold in the mixed berries and chopped nuts (if using). Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the oatmeal bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm on its own or with a drizzle of milk, a dollop of yogurt, or a touch of extra maple syrup.
