Apple Baked Oatmeal
A simple + yummy prep ahead GF breakfast option!
Servings: 4 slices
Equipment
- Large Loaf Tin (10"x5" size) or small skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups oats you can use quick oats or rolled oats. Rolled will give a slightly less "cakey" texture at the end but I love it and use them interchangeably!
- 1 cup oat milk or water
- 1-2 tbsp molasses (or honey/maple syrup) I love molasses for the trace minerals and vitamins and this small amount gives enough sweetness with a deep flavour.
- 2 drops almond extract
- 2 apples, sliced
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F)
- Mix together all the listed ingredients aside from the oats and apple slices. Whisk is all with a fork until it's well combined.
- Add the oats and stir them in, and then the apple slices too until it's all well mixed.
- Line the bread pan with parchment paper. We use and love the compostable If You Care Brand and I use the same piece a few times before composting it.
- Pour the oatmeal batter into the lined pan and pop it in the preheated oven.
- Check the oven after 25 minutes, it should be just firm to the touch in the centre when it's ready.
- Let it cool in the pan then slice it into 4 pieces. I freeze the pieces and pull them out at night to be ready for the next morning. I like it warmed or cold, topped with yogurt and nut butter.
