Let’s do this! (The recipe calls for one egg…it forgot to show up for the picture. Sorry.)
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, applesauce, and vanilla.
Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture. Stir to combine.
Add the almond butter and stir to combine.
Add the apples and almonds and stir again.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven until golden.
Ingredients:
2 cups old fashioned oats (can use gluten-free oats)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 3/4 cups cashew milk (or milk of your choice)
1 large egg
3 tablespoons cinnamon applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup creamy all-natural almond butter (or nut butter of your choice)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 cups diced apples (I leave the skin on)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 8 square baking dish and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the peanut butter and mix until combined. Add the apples and almond; stir again. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and oatmeal is set. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm.
Note-this baked oatmeal is great reheated in the microwave. We like to make a pan and eat it throughout the week. This recipe can easily be doubled for a 9 x 13 pan. Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free. You can serve with brown sugar, an extra splash of milk, cinnamon, or raisins if desired!
