Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups almond milk (plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Fruits and Nuts

  • 2 medium fresh apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish or line it with parchment paper to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon (natural), and a pinch of salt. Whisk these together to distribute spices evenly so every bite has consistent flavor.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk (plant-based), maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until fully blended and smooth.
  4. Combine Apples and Mixtures: Chop fresh apples into bite-sized pieces. Add half to the dry oat mixture to coat lightly, then pour the wet ingredients over everything. Stir well until the oats are fully soaked and the apple pieces are evenly distributed.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish and Add Toppings: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chopped walnuts or your choice of nuts on top for added texture and a nutty aroma.
  6. Bake Until Golden and Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and the oatmeal is set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool Slightly and Serve: Let the baked oatmeal cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the texture firm up and makes it easier to serve.

Notes

  • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Fuji to maintain a nice texture after baking.
  • Stir just until combined to keep a light, tender crumb and avoid dense oatmeal.
  • Taste the batter before baking and add more maple syrup (natural) if you prefer it sweeter.
  • Add a splash of mild vegetable oil if you want a richer, moister texture.
  • Double the batch for meal prepping since leftovers reheat beautifully throughout the week.
