Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 beaten egg
Add-ins
- 1 cup diced apples
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch oven-safe baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, diced apples, chopped pecans, maple syrup, olive oil, beaten egg, almond milk, cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the oat mixture into the greased baking dish. Although the mixture may seem liquid-heavy, it will absorb as it bakes. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes at 350°F until the top is golden brown and the liquid is fully absorbed.
- Serve and Store: Allow to cool slightly and serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat before serving if desired. Avoid storing at room temperature to prevent spoilage.
Notes
- The apples and pecans provide a delightful crunch, and can be substituted with walnuts, almonds, or macadamia nuts based on preference.
- This recipe is excellent for meal prep, making weekday breakfasts or snacks quick and easy.
- You can double the recipe and freeze individual portions for convenient reheating throughout the week.
