Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (45g)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/16 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup applesauce (60g) (or pumpkin, yogurt, or mashed banana)
- 1/4 cup water (60g)
- 1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup (22g) or stevia to taste
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tbsp almond butter or coconut oil (15g)
- 1 spoonful raisins or chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit (190° Celsius). You may also use a microwave or a preheated toaster oven if preferred.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a one-cup ramekin, heat-safe dish, or mini loaf pan with oil, or line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir together all dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk in the wet ingredients until well combined, forming a batter.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared ramekin. Place it on the center rack of the oven and bake for fifteen minutes. If using a microwave, cook on high for 1-3 minutes until the oatmeal is fluffy, adjusting time based on your microwave’s wattage.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Consider adding frosting or toppings for extra flavor if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute applesauce with pumpkin puree, yogurt, or mashed banana for a different flavor profile.
- Optional add-ins like raisins or chopped walnuts add texture and flavor.
- Frosting ideas such as cream cheese or glaze can be used to enhance the cinnamon roll taste.
