Fresh Honeycrisp apples and dried fruit add lots of texture and flavor to this cozy breakfast. We made it with dried blueberries, but try it with any dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries, tart cherries or dried apricots.
Yield: 6 servings
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° Spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl mix together rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, milk, applesauce, 1/4 cup maple syrup, flaxseed, coconut oil and vanilla.
- Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and sprinkle dried fruit and 1/2 cup of the diced apples evenly over the top.
- Bake about 40 minutes or until the center has set and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly.
- To serve, cut baked oatmeal into squares, combine remaining 1/2 cup of diced apples with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and spoon over oatmeal squares.
- For leftovers, let the baked oatmeal cool completely before covering or transferring to storage containers. The baked oatmeal should keep for 4-5 days in the fridge.
