Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (natural gelling agent)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh apples

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a baking dish with a light coating of oil or plant-based butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon (natural), baking powder, chia seeds (natural gelling agent), and salt. This dry mixture ensures even distribution of spices and leavening.
  3. Mix wet ingredients and apples: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and chopped apples. Stir until the apples are evenly coated and the sweet vanilla aroma fills the air.
  4. Bring it all together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until everything is fully incorporated. The chia seeds will start to thicken the batter as it sits.
  5. Bake to perfection: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly for uniform baking. Place in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. This resting period helps it set and improves the texture, making each spoonful more enjoyable.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture as quick oats can become too mushy.
  • Select crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for better thickening with chia seeds (natural gelling agent).
  • Taste the wet mixture before baking and add a little more maple syrup (natural) if needed.
  • Place the baking dish on the middle oven rack for even heat distribution during baking.
