Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh apples, cored and diced

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish with oil or a plant-based butter alternative to ensure easy release and a nicely browned crust.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, cinnamon powder (natural), baking powder, and salt thoroughly for an even distribution of flavors.
  3. Prepare Apples: Core and dice the fresh apples into bite-sized pieces to bake into soft, juicy morsels that retain their shape.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine and Pour: Fold the diced apples into the dry ingredients, then pour the wet mixture over the top. Stir gently to combine without overmixing, ensuring a tender crumb once baked.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the oatmeal is set and the top is lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm apples such as Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture after baking.
  • Do not skip the natural gelling agent; it helps the oatmeal hold together without heaviness.
  • Let baked oatmeal rest and cool for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner pieces.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the warm, sweet flavors perfectly.
  • Adjust maple syrup (natural) in the wet mixture to your preferred level of sweetness before combining.
