Apple Cinnamon Baked Oats
Ingredients
- 2 cups oats old fashioned
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 orange zested
- 1 large apple (preferably Granny Smith) peeled and grated
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 cup apple juice (no sugar added)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and orange zest in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, juice, vanilla and maple. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.Add the grated apple and stir to combine. Pour the batter into a 9 x 9 inch baking dish that is sprayed with cooking spray, or divide the batter between 15-16 muffin cups that have been sprayed with cooking spray. If baking in the square dish: bake for 60 minutes, or until the center is cooked through. If the edges become too dark, lay a sheet of foil over the pan until it is fully cooked. Allow to cool for around 15 minutes to set before cutting. If baking in a muffin pan: bake for 30 minutes, then allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Run a butter knife or small offset spatula around the edge of the cups in case any of the batter has stuck to the walls before lifting them out.
