Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled Oats (I used THESE which are organic & gluten-free)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 3 Eggs
- 1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Ghee melted, (plus a bit more for greasing the dish)
- 1 cup Milk*
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 large Apple thinly sliced and chopped
- 1/3 cup Walnuts or Pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9″ square baking dish with some melted coconut oil or ghee, or line it with parchment paper so the oatmeal doesn’t stick.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or ghee, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to dry, and mix until combined. Stir in the apple and chopped nuts until just mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, and top with a few extra pecans or walnuts if using.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly golden on top & around the edges, and firm in the center. Slice into 9 to 12 squares and serve! Store leftovers in the fridge. We love ours reheated and served with a little milk - so good
Notes
- To make this dairy free, substitute coconut oil for the ghee
- I use coconut milk in this recipe, but you can substitute whatever milk you like! For another dairy free option, I love using Nutpods in the French Vanilla or Caramel flavor!
- FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS:
- Bake the oatmeal according to above directions, then allow it to completely cool. Slice into squares and wrap individually with plastic wrap then a layer of foil to keep the air out. Freeze!
- To reheat: defrost overnight in the refrigerator. To warm, heat in the microwave or in a 350ºF oven until heated through.
